Delhi Daredevils captain J.P. Duminy and four of his teammates were busy shopping at a mall here and did not feel the tremors of the massive earthquake that hit Nepal on Saturday, an official said.
Indian Premier League's purple cap holder Imran Tahir, presently the most successful bowler with 13 wickets, Angelo Mathews, Quinton de Kock, Shreyas Iyer and Albie Morkel accompanied Duminy to the mall, as the earthquake also shook Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

"I believed something was wrong. My mother later told me it was an earthquake," he said.
