Yet another forgettable year for Delhi Daredevils and their fans. They have made wholesome changes to their core unit this year but unfortunately, found themselves on the bottom of the table again. The only positive was the youngsters being the main pillars but they have got so many reasons to be disappointed.
The start we got was really disheartening: Shreyas
Speaking of the match, Shreyas Iyer quoted that the start they got by the openers was disheartening but pleased with the massive total on the board. He cited that the pitch played better in the second innings with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Iyer termed wicket as Two-Paced.
”I think it was a brilliant total to get on this wicket. Because the start we got was really disheartening. I think towards the end, the ball was coming nicely onto the bat. The wicket played well towards the end. Was a two-paced wicket. We didn’t get many opportunities to get them out, so they played well,” Iyer quoted in post-match presentation.
Experience will help in India A games and other matches: Iyer
Despite losing the tourney, the skipper of Delhi Daredevils, Shreyas Iyer sounded gutsy in his words. He added that the hope will always remain and was optimistic in his side put on an improved show in the next year edition. Meanwhile, he felt that the experience will help the youngsters massively in upcoming games.
”(On being out of contention for play-offs) There’s always hope to carry into the next season. It’s going to be really important as youngsters that we get along in the coming games. It will give us a boost for the next year. The experience will help in India A games and other matches,” Shreyas Iyer concluded.
It is disheartening to see Delhi Daredevils being on the wrong side of the things for a consecutively 11th time in their IPL safari. However, the game of cricket wants the quality display of cricket which is something of a missing factor in the Daredevils camp.
They are currently stationed at bottom of the points table with 6 points in their kitty. Delhi Daredevils will conclude their campaign by taking on RCB, CSK and MI in their next fixtures. Though they couldn’t make it playoffs, they have a chance to take RCB and MI with them.
