PBKS vs DC: Captains' Thoughts
Faf du Plessis: "We will have a bowl first. Nah! It was a 50-50 decision. It is more to do with our team combination. We are playing an extra batter. Very frustrating to be honest. We have played enough T20 cricket to understand it. We were excellent in the previous game for until 16-17 overs. We bowled beautifully. 100%. We are playing for the 5th spot."
Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings Captain): "It is definitely happy faces around. Everyone from team management and the owners are happy with the Q coming in for us. But personally, I am not satisfied and not content. We want to build a momentum from hereon. Each and every individual stepping up from here will give us a major boost. "
