IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals (DC) spinner Kuldeep Yadav has revealed that he has massive respect for Ishant Sharma for turning up against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and picking up match-winning two wickets on Thursday despite not being well for a week.
The match was Ishant's first since 2021 and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands by picking two wickets and giving just 19 runs from his four overs. The veteran pacer was adjudged Man of the Match for his performance which helped Delhi bundled out KKR for 127.
"Ishant was very accurate with the ball. And you also gain confidence when you enter the field with an experienced player. He knows the conditions well in Delhi and gave us important breakthroughs. I have massive respect for him as he produced such a performance after being unwell for a week," Kuldeep said.
The Delhi Capitals registered their first victory in the IPL 2023 after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The Delhi Capitals dismissed the Kolkata Knight Riders for 127 before chasing down the total in 19.2 overs.
Wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who picked up figures of 2/15, spoke about the importance of the victory, "The first win is always important to gain momentum. We bowled very well against Kolkata Knight Riders. It was a great effort from our side to restrict them to 127."
The Delhi franchise was in a spot of bother when the wickets Manish Pandey and Aman Khan fell in quick succession during the team's chase. When asked about the same, Kuldeep said, "We lost back-to-back wickets at one point in the game.
"But we weren't too tense as there were few runs to get. Axar and Lalit finished the game for us. You always have to fight for your first win and we did that."
Speaking about his own bowling performance, Kuldeep said, "I am really happy that my contributions have helped the team win. If I am bowling well and our team is not winning, my performance doesn't matter."
