Delhi Capitals won by 7 wickets

Eoin Morgan (KKR): Very disappointed. We were slow off the blocks with the bat, lost wickets in the middle period and Russell got us to 150-plus. Then got slow off the blocks with the ball. Shaw played brilliantly, nothing much we could do. Also shows how good the surface was. We weren’t good enough with all departments. He (Cummins) is part of our new ball plans. Mavi bowled four on the trot last game and bowled well. Just didn’t go to plan today. You need to be honest and realistic with everyone in the dressing room. We have to be as honest as we can with each other. Hopefully, we can turn things around. There is a huge amount of talent in our squad but talent alone doesn’t get you far. It’s about execution.

Rishabh Pant (DC): He's a talented player, we all know that. But if you give him the confidence he can do wonders. Was only telling him to play the normal game. In this kind of match, we can afford to think of run rate. Only thing we talk with youngsters is just enjoyed cricket, do your best. Lalit is an allrounder. Hasn't got a chance to bat but he'll learn. The last match we only lost by one run, so as a team we talk about we don't have to change anything. Definitely enjoying captaincy.
