New Delhi. Rishabh Pant, who is returning after a horrific car accident in the Indian Premier League, has shown amazing performance with the bat so far. Under his captaincy, his team could not do the feat that was expected. The team is currently at the bottom in the points table and has been able to register only 1 win after playing 5 matches. The team which won after two consecutive defeats had to face defeat again in the last two matches.
This is Delhi Capitals’ fourth defeat in five matches and its captain Rishabh Pant blamed poor batting and death overs bowling for this. Pant said, “Our bowlers need to bowl on the wicket, bowl slower balls in the middle and bring variety in their bowling. Bowlers will have to understand the conditions well. I think we need to improve in some areas including death overs bowling as well as batting.
Captain Hardik Pandya heaved a sigh of relief after defeating Delhi Capitals and registering the first win after three consecutive defeats in the tournament. Expressing gratitude to the management of Mumbai Indians for their sympathy, love and care, he said on Sunday that due to this the team was successful in making a comeback after losing three matches. Mumbai Indians’ decision to appoint Hardik as captain in place of Rohit Sharma displeased the fans. He booed Hardik fiercely in the first three matches.
“We received a lot of love during this period and were well taken care of,” Hardik said after Mumbai’s 29-run win against Delhi Capitals. Everyone knew that we had lost three matches but they believed in us that we needed only one win to make a comeback and today we started. This is the result of hard work. Our mindset was clear and we made sure that we believed in ourselves.
