Bollywood actor Urvashi Rautela attended the Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) match played as part of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 11. The showbiz star shared many glimpses of her visit to the stadium on social media.

Rautela was in the news last year when she claimed during an interview with a Bollywood portal that a certain ‘RP’ waited for hours to meet her in a hotel lobby while she was in Delhi. Since Rautela and Rishabh Pant were reportedly dating a few years back, fans guessed that she was talking about the keeper-batter.

Subsequently, Pant hit out at the actor with a social media post that he soon deleted. Rautela too took a dig at the cricketer through a Facebook post. After the controversy, she even attended the India-Pakistan Asia Cup 2022 matches in the UAE.

On Tuesday, Rautela shared a number of clips from her visit to the Arun Jaitley Stadium for the DC vs MI IPL 2023 match on her Instagram Stories.

“We shouldn't lose wickets in clumps” - DC skipper David Warner

Despite losing their fourth match in a row, DC skipper David Warner asserted that there were a lot of positives for the team. He, however, admitted that Delhi were losing too many wickets in a clump. Warner said at the post-match presentation:

“You look at the last three IPL games we have witnessed, they have been amazing. Wrong end of it today [Tuesday], but the guys were fantastic. I think from the last three games, we've some positives but we shouldn't lose wickets in clumps.”

On his high throw that allowed Tim David to complete the winning run, Warner explained:

“Timmy David was on the wrong side of it, so I tried to keep it at stump-height.

Axar Patel top-scored for Delhi with 54 off 25 against Mumbai, while Warner struggled for fluency, compiling 51 off 47 balls.
