Delhi Capitals are currently on a winning streak in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. On Sunday, they outclassed Punjab Kings to move top of the table with 12 points. In pursuit of a 167-run target, opener Shikhar Dhawan played a knock of 69 runs and helped his team defeat Punjab by 7 wickets.
After registering a clinical victory over Punjab, skipper Rishabh Pant said that his team needs to try a few things more in the upcoming Kolkata leg of the IPL 2021.
“Shikhar and Prithvi gave us a very good start. In the first innings, the ball was gripping, and even in the second innings, it was slow but the way they started was commendable. It feels so good when you have a great start in every match," Pant said at the post-match presentation.
“Most of the things are sorted but we need to try a few things for the Kolkata leg. The competition is very good, it's difficult we can make everyone play. I am enjoying captaincy, learning each and every day. Everyone is helping me,” he added.
