Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan. Two superstars of Delhi Capitals. Both were quite happy after the seven-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders. Dhawan continued his amazing form and scored 47 runs in the match. And with this, Orange Cap also renamed itself.
While Delhi’s excellent form continued under Pant’s captaincy. Both of the matches spoke to broadcaster Star Sports. During this conversation, Pant told what he had told Shaw. Pant said,
‘I was asking Shaw to just play the normal game. In the end, we were trying to keep the run rate up. Yes, in such matches we can think about net run-rate as the match was over in 12-13 overs. All we say is that enjoy your cricket and do what you can to the best.
Pant also said that his team trusts the process. They said,
‘I think Lalit is an all-rounder. He did not get many chances of batting. Last match we lost by just one run. We were told not to change our process. If you trust the process, you will get the results.
After Pant, Dhawan also talked to Star Sports. Dhawan praising Prithvi said,
‘Prithvi was doing amazing batting and it was amazing to see him from the other end. We were scoring a lot of runs, so I played my game according to the situation and did not take the risk. I don’t want to compete with anyone and just play my game.
Dhawan has improved his strike rate a lot in recent matches. About this, he said,
‘I have tried a lot to improve my strike rate and I said this earlier too. Earth was at a different level. I like to take smart risks and try new things instead of staying firm on the beans process. I like working with Ricky. He is a big coach and keeps everyone together, even to the net bowlers.
After this match, Shikhar Dhawan has now got 311 runs in seven matches. This season, Dhawan, who has scored two matches, is scoring at a strike rate of more than 131.
