“Chasing a total like that, the way David Warner came out and played was amazing. He kind of broke the back of the run chase, and that is what you want from your opener when you’re chasing a low score.”

“If we had got 15-20 runs more, they would have batted differently, and they would have taken more chances. They wouldn’t have taken it so deep, and we were short with the runs, but we bowled extremely well to keep ourselves in the game,”

“The timing of my dismissal was not great. It is never nice to get out, but when I got out, I was not even trying to hit in the air. I got a top edge, and it managed to get to deep square leg, which is very frustrating because I think two-three overs more, we could have gone up to 140, which would have been a harder chase,”

David Warner’s Delhi Capitals after earning their first win will be looking to carry the momentum ahead as they face Sunrisers Hyderabad in back-to-back fixtures.
