Delhi Capitals chased the target in just 10.3 overs courtesy of some rampaging knocks from opening batters Prithvi Shaw and David Warner.

“The second wicket was due to Rishabh telling to bowl from round the wicket. To be very honest, I have got plenty of confidence this season and I am also mentally clear with my role,” Kuldeep Yadav told Star Sports during the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I am enjoying my bowling after a long time and the credit goes to Rishabh for backing me. That gives a lot of confidence for a bowler and that is a plus point for us.”
Delhi Capitals decided to buy Kuldeep Yadav in the IPL 2022 auction, and they got him at a price of INR 2 crores. The chinaman was out of favour at his last side Kolkata Knight Riders, and he played just seven games in the last two seasons combined.
