In their opening match, Delhi Capitals were reeling at 113/6 in the 13th over while chasing a challenging target of 210, but debutant Vipraj Nigam, along with Ashutosh Sharma, stitched a vital 55-run partnership for the seventh wicket to turn the game in their favour.

Reflecting on his match-winning partnership with Ashutosh Sharma, the 20-year-old, who made quickfire 39 off 15 balls, said, "My job was to make things easy for Ashutosh. I was able to hit some shots which gave him more time to settle. We both have played a lot of practice games together and have had some drills in the nets as well. Our plan was to try and replicate what we have been doing in the practice sessions. We did that, and fortunately, it worked for us."
