Delhi captain Rishabh Pant bowled only three overs from Kuldeep in the match, even though he had already taken 4 wickets. In such a situation, Pant is also being criticized for not getting the fourth over from Kuldeep. On this, after the match, Pant himself has replied. Rishabh Pant said that, due to losing matches continuously, there was a lot of anxiety and restlessness in our mind. We were thinking that taking the match to the end, it would have more chances of winning. Shaun Marsh's return has been good. With the arrival of Khaleel Ahmed, the final XI will be completed. On shreyas iyer's wicket, Pant said, "I have been keeping wickets for a long time. In such a situation, I just kept an eye on the ball and took a special catch.
Pant further said, "Right now we are not looking at the points table. We're just watching the next match. We want to follow our plan. The team will have to show even more speed in fielding. I wanted to give Kuldeep the over (fourth) from the other end, but due to the dew, the ball was getting wet. That's why I didn't get the fourth over from Kuldeep."
