KKR vs DC: Who Said What?

Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals Captain): "It was a good option to bat first. As a batting unit we didn't bat well, 150 was below par with how things were going. But we learn from our mistakes, every day is not your day. The way we were going as a team was nice (winning 4 out of their last 5 games), but these games come along in T20s. I think anything around 180-210 would have been a good score, we didn't give our bowlers enough runs to defend."

Shreyas Iyer (KKR Captain): "Not at all. Considering the last few matches, 200 was a par score. After the powerplay the pitch started helping the spinners, was tacky. We got a fair idea as to how it played and to tackle the tackiness. Narine still does not attend those meetings but Salt is always there, gives us his inputs and it's pure bliss to see him coming up and doing all this.

"He doesn't. I would not recommend him to come either. [on Chakaravarthy] He has been assessing the wicket and has been giving us inputs. The way he performed today was brilliant. We have always been looking at it, even from the first game. The mindset is to qualify as early as possible. Just work on our work ethic and processes, don't want to look at the points table."

Varun Chakravarthy (KKR Spinner): "It was holding a bit, as the game progressed in the 2nd innings, it was turning as well. Nothing like that, when the catch was dropped, I felt that was a better ball, and the one I got him, on other grounds, it would have gone for a six. Cricket has become a game of little margins.

"I liked Tristan Stubbs' wicket. I planned to bowl the leg-spinner to him and it worked out. Silence. When something doesn't work for me, he is always there. In the last game after conceding so many runs, it was a tough pill to take but the whole team motivated us. Abhishek Nayar and even Shahrukh Khan came and spoke to me, definitely motivated us. [on the cheerleaders dancing] They should start dancing only for the sixers and not for the fours."

Phil Salt (KKR Batter): "Good to be contributing. Have had a good run in the home games. Nice that we've had continuity in conditions. Coming from the last game, to put in a performance like that from the bowlers, really pleased for them. It is high risk at times, but it's about putting the odds in your favour.

"Have to keep backing yourself and make those right options. It does (good keeping performance helps confidence?). Very helpful keeping first and see what it's doing. Gives an advantage in assessing conditions first. Sunil keeps things simple but he's a deep thinker about the game. We've dovetailed nicely in this competition. If one of us gets going, we feed the strike to them."
