“Hopefully, we continue with the same momentum”- KKR captain Shreyas Iyer’s post-DC victory statement

During the post-match presentation, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer praised his teammates following a convincing victory against the Delhi Capitals. Commenting on the win, Iyer remarked:

“Sunny’s job is to go out there and free his arms and see to it that we have a great powerplay, even if he doesn’t, we’ve got other batsmen who can take on the bowlers and see to it we get a commendable total by the end of the powerplay.”

“He (Raghuvanshi) was fearless right from ball one, and when you see him at training, he’s top notch in terms of analyzing the situation, he’s a smart batsman when it comes to leading the situation.”

Shreyas also discussed his bowlers’ performance and his team’s unbeaten record in their initial three matches, stating:

“Great to see all the bowlers stepping up at the right time and taking responsibility, owning their yards. The way they stood for each other is what we thrive on. He (Vaibhav) was sensational, although he went for two fours the first over, the way he came back and took crucial wickets.”

“Hopefully, we continue with the same momentum. You always got to be down to earth, especially in the IPL.”

KKR’s next match is against CSK on April 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
