“The way he paced his innings, it’s one of the best innings I’ve seen over a period of time for Delhi. I don’t mind having one or two conversations here or there. In the start, he was not getting runs but we backed him and now he’s coming out with flying colours,” said Rishabh Pant in a post-match presentation.
Despite winning the game by 21 runs DC skipper believe they still need improvement in some departments and added that they are trying to give 100 per cent in each match.

“There is always room for improvement, but it’s close to a perfect game for us as a batting unit. I was calm about myself. In high chases, the other team needs 10-12 runs per over, it’s difficult to hit till the 20th over. I was telling the bowlers to be calm. We are just taking one game at a time and trying to give our 100%. I got out to a full toss, that’s part and parcel of the game. Good and important win for us,” he added.
Coming to the match, chasing a huge target of 208 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad could score 186 runs in 20 overs for the loss of 8 wickets. For Delhi, Khaleel Ahmed took three wickets while Shardul Thakur took two wickets. This was Delhi’s fifth win in 10 matches. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad team has slipped to sixth place.
