IVPL 2024: Richard Levi's Ton Leads Red Carpet Delhi To 27-run Win Over Rajasthan Legends
Levi's explosive knock -- also his second ton of IVPL -- of 116 runs off just 53 deliveries, supported by Asela Gunaratne's blistering 85 off 43, propelled Red Carpet Delhi to an imposing total of 247/3 in 20 overs. Despite a valiant 98-run effort from Rajesh Bishnoi for Rajasthan Legends, their chase fell short as they were restricted to 220/6. Facing an early setback with the dismissal of skipper Herschelle Gibbs for a golden duck, Red Carpet Delhi rallied back strongly with Levi and Bipul Sharma forging an aggressive 81-run partnership in just 6 overs.
Levi's onslaught continued as he relentlessly dispatched boundaries and sixes, amassing 10 fours and eight sixes during his sensational innings. Gunaratne joined the onslaught, further piling on the runs with a destructive display of batting. The formidable duo of Gunaratne and Levi stitched together a formidable 155-run stand for the third wicket, propelling Red Carpet Delhi to an imposing total by the end of their allotted 20 overs.
