Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer praised his young team after they bowed out of the IPL with a six-wicket loss against Chennai Super Kings on Friday.
“I am totally proud of my team, we did really well to come this far. It’s only the start for us and we will grow further.” said Iyer in the post-match presentation.
“We were a bit short of runs. Didn’t have the best of powerplays and then their spinners made it more tough. None of the batsmen took responsibility to bat through to the end.
“The home pitches are something to think about. Preparing their is risky due to the uneven bounce of the practice pitches but we can’t blame the pitches as we are professional cricketers.”
Iyer also added that the season has helped him grow as a captain, learning from the likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.
