Sameer Rizvi bags POTM award
Back-to-back Player of the Match awards for Sameer Rizvi. He smashed 90 off just 51 balls to lead Delhi Capitals to their second win in two games this season.
"I've worked a lot on myself. I've worked on my weaknesses, I wasn't as good against fast bowlers, so I worked on that in the last year. I try to play according to the situation. I took time, got set and then played my shots. I tried to watch the ball as long as possible. Did the same in the last game. If you score runs here, you get a lot of confidence and opportunities for us youngsters."
Suryakumar Yadav reflects on MI's big defeat against DC
"Decent wicket, we expected it to be slow. We were 15-20 short, don't want to take credit away from their bowlers and Rizvi. Lot of credit to him, he never let us get back into the game. Pitch didn't change too much, they understood the conditions and batted beautifully. When batting first, there's nothing like a par score. We felt 180-185 was a good score. Naman and I got out at the wrong time. There'll be days like this with the ball, have to go back to the drawing board and come back better."
