Dubai: An IPL debut against his idol Mahendra Singh Dhoni was a “fanboy” moment for young Delhi Capitals batsman Ripal Patel, who said the talismanic Chennai Super Kings skipper inspired him to pursue cricket. “I started playing cricket watching Mahi bhai and I am looking to become a finisher like him,” Patel was quoted as saying in a release issued by his franchise DC. We had a good chat and he gave me a lot of confidence.” Asked about his emotions when he received the Delhi Capitals cap before the game, he said: “I was really happy when I received my cap from Mishy bhai. Shikhar bhai told me to take my time at the crease, so I took my time and enjoyed my batting.” Ripal also enjoyed watching Kagiso Rabada finish the match with a boundary in the last over.
