Rishabh Pant Praises Bowlers For Displaying a Brilliant Performance Against Rajasthan Royals

After Delhi Capitals (DC) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 20 runs, captain Rishabh Pant praised his bowlers, especially Kuldeep Yadav, for their outstanding performance in the death overs.
A masterclass from Sanju Samson nearly took the Royals home, but an unfortunate and untimely dismissal of Skipper Sanju Samson led to a collapse of the Royals as the wickets kept on tumbling one after the other, RR made 201-8 in their allotted 20 overs.

After the game, Pant said, "The way our bowlers executed at the back end was the main positive and it was really good to see. We will try to learn from every game. Even when we lose or win, we will keep our head down and keep moving forward. As always Kuldeep delivered which was great to see. It was close to par and at the same time we were thinking that if we can restrict them to 200 that would be fair and that was the thought process."

In the final three overs, DC scored 53 runs while RR could only muster 20. The Royals have failed to chase a target for the second consecutive game. Even though the Royals lost both of their openers during the powerplay, Still the Royals kept themselves in the hunt due to the pyrotechnics of Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag and Shubham Dubey.

However, the game was flipped on its head when Sanju Samson and Shubham Dubey were removed quickly, as the remaining batters were unable to keep up with the required run rate under pressure.
Credit goes to Kuldeep for bowling a game-changing 18th over in which he picked up two wickets for just four runs dismissing Donovan Ferreira and Ravichandran Ashwin.

Overall, it was a much-needed victory for DC to improve their campaign, and aside from their problems with their plodding over-over bowling, the Royals will be concerned about their second consecutive defeat.

DC climbed to the fifth spot with six wins, six defeats, and 12 points. RR stayed second with eight wins, three losses, and 16 points.
