The start of the 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been quite disappointing for Delhi Capitals so far. The team had to face defeat in the first match against Punjab Kings, and now they have lost in the second match also. In the match played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Delhi Capitals had to face defeat by 12 runs in the match against Rajasthan. After the second consecutive defeat in the season, Delhi Capitals team captain Rishabh Pant also looked very disappointed.
We lost the match in the death overs
Rishabh Pant said after the defeat against Rajasthan Royals that it is true that I am definitely disappointed after this defeat, but the best thing is that the only thing we can do now is that we learn a lot from this defeat. Got a chance to learn. In this match, during the innings of Rajasthan Royals, our bowlers kept the pressure on for 15 to 16 overs, but we lost it completely in the last 4 overs. It happens many times that when you bat slowly in the beginning, then in the death overs you try to score runs quickly, the same happened in today’s match also. The way Ryan batted, we completely lost our grip in this match.
Pant said this about Norkhia’s performance
In this match, Enrique Norkhia, playing for Delhi Capitals, gave a total of 25 runs in the last over during the innings of Rajasthan Royals. Regarding his performance, Pant said that we wanted Norkhia to bowl for us in the death overs, but in such situations sometimes you lose runs. While chasing the target, Marsh and Warner gave a good start, but in the middle overs we lost wickets and did not score fast runs. Pant could not make any significant contribution to the team with the bat in this match and could score only 28 runs after facing 26 balls.
