Delhi Daredevils defeated Rajasthan Royals by 4 runs (D/L) to register their third win of the season, at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Wednesday. The star for Delhi was Rishabh Pant who slammed 69 runs from just 29 balls.
After the match, newly appointed Captain Shreyas Iyer stressed on the need of continuing the winning momentum.
“It was a very important victory for us. This wicket is very good and even 200 is very less. Bowlers kept their nerve and we came back strong. I dropped the catch but we won the match. The start that Shaw is giving was amazing and Pant’s role in the middle is pivotal. It is important for us to win all the matches from here. Ponting is a positive guy and no one is thinking negative in the dressing room. It is difficult to bowl with the ground being small, it is really tough to control when the batsmen start hitting,” Iyer said.
