The captaincy of Pant was excellent, who apart from deploying the bowlers at the right time, performed brilliantly behind the stumps and then secured the victory by scoring unbeaten 16 runs in 11 balls.
On his performance, Pant said, ‘The only thought before coming on the field was that I wanted to do better on the field. When I was doing my rehabilitation, the same thought was in my mind. The only thing we talked about was that this target has to be achieved as soon as possible because in some other matches in which we lost, we had lost net run rate points. Delhi Capitals will face Sunrisers Hyderabad on 20th April.
