With this victory, now the points table of Delhi has a total of 8 points. On the other hand, despite this defeat, RCB remains in third place.
Spin starts instead of fast bowlers
Akshar Patel further said that the opposition batsmen make it easier to play against the fast bowlers, so they initially decided to try the spinners. According to him, the ball was stopping on the pitch and there was a boom, which was helping the spinners. Bowling with spin in the powerplay proved to be a right strategy.
It was a mistake to give 19th over
Akshar admitted that bowling himself in the 19th over of the match was probably strategically wrong. However, the team won the match, so they are not much worried about this mistake.
Kuldeep and Vipraj praise
Captain Akshar appreciated Kuldeep Yadav’s best bowling and especially mentioned young bowler Vipraj. He said that Vipraj bowled with confidence in the 18th over as well, which was very impressed.
Batting easy with Rahul’s having
Akshar said about the batting of KL Rahul that when there are batsmen like Rahul in the team, then the responsibility of the captain becomes easier. He also told that he himself has batted as a floater, so he knows that this role is not easy. Rahul batted with great maturity and has retained the form of the Champions Trophy.
