“To be honest with you, there’s zero value of the staff that’s present there. It doesn’t matter who strong your team is, it’s the players who are performing badly out there. You can have as many great minds as you like in the dressing room, if your players aren’t scoring runs or taking wickets, what they will do?” Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.
“I will never understand that. You have to pick players who can win you matches, and you don’t have to direct them everytime. When you have those players, you can become champions. Delhi do have those players, but they’re not scoring runs or taking wickets. You can make strategies, in the end, those who enter the ground have to perform,” the former opener further added.
RCB followed the batting performance with a tremendous start in the powerplay getting 3 early wickets inside the first 3 overs. Prithvi Shaw opened the innings as the impact player and was run out the very second ball with Anuj Rawat hitting the bull’s eye.
Mitchell Marsh was the second man to depart with Wayne Parnell striking in his first over. Siraj then bowled another beautiful over, the third of the chase and sent back the young Yash Dhull for just a single. DC also lost skipper David Warner inside the powerplay and lost half of their side for 53 runs with Abhishek Porel also departing soon.
Manish Pandey playing at his home turf played some beautiful strokes and helped himself to a 50 in 38 balls but was sent back by Wanindu Hasaranga in the 14th over. In the end, the Capitals lost the contest by 23 runs.
