And again, Delhi Daredevils are back on the track. All thanks to Rishabh Pant and Co in the first innings while Trent Boult is the man for the home side in the second innings. All in all, it is a sweet revenge for Delhi Daredevils over Rajasthan Royals.
It is important for us to win all the matches: Iyer
Speaking of the victory, Shreyas Iyer termed it as the much-needed victory and asked to repeat the same show from his boys. The new skipper added that the team is in positive mood including the head coach, Ricky Ponting and quoted that Feroz Shah Kotla is a tough ground to defend.
”It was a very important victory for us. This wicket is very good and even 200 is very less. Bowlers kept their nerve and we came back strong. I dropped the catch but we won the match, we should look forward. Start that Shaw is giving is amazing and Pant’s role in the middle is pivotal,” Shreyas Iyer said.
‘‘It is important for us to win all the matches. Ponting is a positive guy and no one is thinking negative in the dressing room. It is difficult to bowl with the ground being small, it is really tough to control when the batsmen start hitting,” he added while speaking in the post-match presentation.
However, as Shreyas Iyer said, it was an important victory for the team and they need to take on the confidence in their coming matches. The sublime form of the trio Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant is bailing them away in the batting department.
Delhi Daredevils would be hoping for a match-winning performance from Colin Munro and Glenn Maxwell in the next coming games which are vital to making a progress in the tourney.
Currently, Delhi Daredevils are placed 6th in the points table with 6 points in their kitty. Coming to the upcoming assignment, they will pack their kits to travel Hyderabad to take on in-form Sunrisers Hyderabad.
