In a lighthearted interview after Delhi Daredevils’ record run chase at the Ferozeshah Kotla, mentor Rahul Dravid joked with the two stars of the chase, Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson, and said that ‘it was good that the duo did not watch a lot of videos of his own batting’.
“I am glad that you have not been watching too many videos of me batting when you need 208 in 20 overs. Well done boys, terrific innings,” Dravid told the duo in an interview posted on IPL’s official website.
Adding further he said, “What I found impressive in Rishabh’s batting is that he was not worried about his hundred. He was always looking to take the team home. But I am a hard taskmaster and I hope next time you will finish the job and stay not out”.
It was Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson who brought Delhi alight with their sixes and helping Delhi Daredevils to an important victory against Gujarat Lions, solidifying their playoff berth. Pant and Samson showed no respect to the bowlers, it was mayhem at the Ferozshah Kotla ground. Delhi Daredevils coach Rahul Dravid who has been closely working with this unit and has had first hand experience of playing with them.
