Sakariya played the last season for Rajasthan Royals, where he picked up 14 wickets in as many matches.
Chetan Sakariya made his debut for Delhi Capitals in the game vs KKR. He made a statement straightaway as he knocked Aaron Finch over in the first over of his spell.
Sakariya, who is playing his first match of the season, troubled Finch with his swing. In order to counter the movement, the Austrlian batsman stepped out and tried to hit him over deep mid-wicket. The connection wasn't great, and if it wasn't for Rovam Powell's dropped catch, Sakariya would have had his man a ball earlier.
Nonetheless, he took matters into his own hands and bowled Finch out, who tried to play a similar hoick over mid-wicket. Earlier, Chetan was bought by Delhi Capitals for 1.2 crore rupees at the mega auction.
