However to see him enjoying so properly and see him play the best way he did and his workforce was the profitable aspect and he was the captain but all of the speak was about MS’s 37 off 16 balls.
That’s how highly effective and gotta bear in mind Delhi Capitals. It was performed at Vizag and that was their residence recreation and the entire floor was yellow.
