IPL 2019, Match 3, MI vs DC: 3 mistakes that cost Mumbai Indians the game

#2. Tossing the bowl to Rasikh Salam in the penultimate over-

It was the first match of Salam's IPL career and the pressure showed on the youngster.

The stage was set for Delhi Capitals to finish off the innings with a flourish. Rishabh Pant was once again at his lethal best and looked menacing. Mumbai, on the other hand, needed a good penultimate over. With Rohit already deciding to give his best bowler Bumrah the last over, 17-year-old Rasikh Salam was given the ball. Until then, Salam had bowled reasonably well to concede only 21 runs in his three overs on his debut. The 19th over though, didn't go to plan as Pant tore him apart. 21 runs were looted from the young man as Delhi were all but certain to cross the 200-run mark. Perhaps, Rohit could've gone to the more experienced Ben Cutting, who had a couple of overs up his sleeve.
