MI vs DC: Statement
Rishabh Pant | DC captain – Definitely we were in contention, but we didn’t have enough runs in the batting powerplay, especially when you’re chasing such a big score.,
We batted well in the next few overs, but it’s not easy to constantly score 15 rpo for many overs. Yes, we had a few bad overs (with the ball), but it does happen at times. The bowlers needed to bowl into the wicket, slower ones and the variations were important.
The bowlers needed to understand the conditions well. I think we need to improve on a few areas – death-over bowling and our batting as well.
Hardik Pandya | MI captain – It was a lot of hard work. We had to clear our minds and make sure that we believed. We will be making tactical changes here and there but this will be our 12 and settling our team now is important.
There’s a lot of love and care going around in the change room. Belief and backing each other is the attitude out there. Everyone believed we need just one win. It was an amazing start today, always wonderful to get 70 odd in 6 overs.
The way everyone chipped in when the opportunity was coming was good to see. That was some hitting na (On Romario’s heroics). He won us the game. Difference was Romario v Delhi Capitals. I like him. Always has a smile on his face, doesn’t run away.
(On why Hardik didn’t bowl) I am fine. I’ll be bowling at the right time, we had everything covered today so did not have to roll my arms overs.
