David Warner recorded his first golden duck in eight IPL seasons when Punjab Kings’ Liam Livingstone dismissed him on the first delivery of the innings at the DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai on Monday. The Delhi Capitals were reduced to 122/5 in 16 overs.

However, his first ball wicket stood out. PBKS skipper Mayank Agarwal, after electing to bowl first, handed Livingstone the first over on Monday. The 28-year-old started off with a gentle tossed up delivery outside off. Warner took a stride wanting to drive the ball but ended up slicing it to Rahul Chahar at backward point.

Ashdeep Singh then struck twice, getting rid of the dangerous looking Sarfaraz Khan and Lalit Yadav. Livingstone then foxed Rishabh Pant (7 off 3) for a stumping in the 12th over and then Powell in the 14th. 

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was the lone fighter for the Delhi Capitals. The 30-year-old smashed 63 runs off 48 balls with the help of four boundaries and three maximums.
