DELHI COACH AMRE NOT LOSING SLEEP
Delhi Capitals, who have ensured a IPL play-off spot with 16 points in the bag and three more matches to go, encountered their first loss in five matches in Sharjah on Tuesday - but the team management sees no reason to worry about it.
“We know that there will be ups and downs in the IPL and we know that we are going to have matches like this one. However, the coaching group was very happy with the effort put in by the entire team in this match,’’ remarked Pravin Amre, assistant coach of the franchise.
‘‘After being in a difficult situation, Rishabh Pant played till the last over of the innings, which helped us get a fighting total on the board. And even while bowling, the players fought very well and ensured that the chase wasn’t a cakewalk for KKR,” said Amre.
Amre sought to dwell on the other positives from the match. “Avesh Khan put up an extraordinary performance and Axar Patel bowled very well.”
