“The best feeling I’ve ever had. The trip has been a roller coaster ride. At the end of the day, we stuck together as a family. Very happy with the effort that each individual has put in. It has taught me many things. Being a captain comes with a lot of responsibility. . But I have received support from the coaches and support staff. On top of that, the team has been so special. Really lucky to have such an amazing team. Emotions keep going up and down, so you can’t have the same set of routines, “Iyer said.

“Hoping that in the next game too, against the Mumbai Indians, the biggest team, we can play freely. We’re going 10 runs over, but we know that Rashid can be lethal in between. The plan was to not give him land. They were lacking with the opening society. He needed a rocket start. We thought that if he (Stoinis) goes and plays the maximum deliveries he can give us a good start, “said Iyer.
Excited for the guys to make it to the first @delhicapitals IPL final, it’s a huge payoff for all the tough stuff… https://t.co/twzQadxB6c
