By opting to hit first and sending Stoinis to open with Dhawan, Capitals literally yelled at SRH that they were coming out strong from the start.

His 38 of 27 balls was all power and he is all about making a statement. It was clearly not over. Dhawan brandished his willow like a razor, revealing his entire shooting repertoire, to drag SRH into a corner at the end of the first 20 overs of the game as SRH trapped and filtered runs on the field unlike a professional team that plays a elimination game. .

The only period of the game in which SRH sought to challenge the Capitals was in the last eight overs of the chase. Kane Williamson brought out a game, completely different from the brute force of the Capitals but equally threatening and heartbreaking for bowlers. Abdul Samad lived up to his promise to hit lustful with an impressive 33 out of 16 knock. Perhaps, he was left with a lot to do. The Sunrisers dugout will return to the hotel, thinking things might have been different if they hadn’t been so bad on the field.
For Capitals, they were desperate to regain their carefree and fearless cricket style and they succeeded. Now, they need to repeat it one more time to surpass the disappointing Mumbai Indians for their inaugural title.
