.@IamSandeep25 with the most economical bowling figures for a debut over by an Associate bowler in the history of the IPL. None for 2 after one for RCB chasing Delhi’s 181. WHY HASN’T HE PLAYED SOONER?!?!?!?!

11.5 Sandeep Lamichhane to AB de Villiers SIX
Too full from Sandy and De Villiers swept him for a SIX but that was not too far from the man at boundary.
He finished his debut night with a figure of 4-0-25-1, dream come true. #DDvRCB #SandeepDebut
