Axar Patel has been in tremendous form recently and once again against SRH, he delivered a match-winning performance. It was his all-round performance that got DC over the line in a low-scoring thriller and with this win DC have now won two games in a row after losing their first five games.
Talking after the game, Axar Patel said that he run-a-ball 34 with the bat was more important than his bowling. He also mentioned that he was completely clueless when three wickets fell in one over and had coffee in his sights.
The left-handed batter said that he had a chat with Manish Pandey and they just wanted to have runs on the board as the wicket was slow. He also applauded Kuldeep Yadav and said that he loves bowling with him in tandem. Axar Patel also rated both Markram and Agarwal's wicket as equal and said that the space is now increasing for his player of the match awards.
"34 off 34 was important than my bowling. I didn't understand anything. I ordered a coffee and then three wickets fell in an over. We had a chat with Pandey and wanted to have runs on the board to defend a total. The wicket was slow and it was coming slowly. So, worked with Kuldeep as a tandem. I loved bowling with Kuldeep. I enjoyed taking both Markram and Mayank's wickets. Yes, the space is increasing to keep my POTM awards. Yes, sure I will have my new coffee. Thank You."
Delhi Capitals will now play the reverse-fixture against SRH at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, 29th of April.
