Following his pivotal innings of 88 runs from just 43 balls that secured a 4-run victory over the Gujarat Titans on Wednesday, Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper Rishabh Pant expressed his growing confidence with every outing on the field.
“I think the first six in the match gives me confidence in the game. The more time I spend in the centre, the better I feel,” Pant said at the post match presentation.
Explaining his decision to entrust Rasikh Salam with the ball for the crucial penultimate over, Pant emphasised his belief in backing a player who is performing well during the match.
“I think it is about instincts as a captain, it will come off sometimes. Happy it worked today. Surely at 43/3, we wanted to just keep going and target their main spinners. If we get something, we will take it on and keep rotating the strike,” he concluded.
