Know what Akshar Patel said?
After the toss, Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel said, “We will bowl first. Winning the toss is proving the same thing to be true. In the matches, we have not won on important occasions with bat, ball or fielding, otherwise our performance has not been that bad. We will play cricket in our own way and will not worry about the result. Win or lose, we will try to play on a good pitch. The pitch is new, the new ball can get a little swing and we will try to bowl them first. Want to let us bat. We have made five changes in our team.
Know what Shreyas Iyer said?
After the toss, Punjab Kings captain Akshar Patel said, “To be honest, you don’t know anything about the pitch until you play on it. Just get on the field and perform. We don’t have to think too much about the points table, just focus on our ability and instincts. That’s the thing we haven’t done well in the last few matches, we didn’t trust our instincts and didn’t perform well under pressure. Ups and downs are bound to happen.” It’s just a matter of how quickly you can recover from them. Ben Dwarshius has come into the team in place of Lockie Ferguson.”
