I feel that our momentum is building nicely: Phil Salt
“It’s nice to perform and win a game for the team. We had a tough start to the competition, but we have won a few games now. And I feel that our momentum is building nicely. We’ve put the bowlers in difficult situations at times during the tournament and they’ve always stood up. So it was good for the batting unit to go out there and play so freely against one of the strongest sides in the competition,” Salt said.
The Player of the Match also spoke about his batting plan against RCB, “I was very clear about where I was going to hit the ball while batting against the spinners. We also tried to take down RCB’s best bowlers. We don’t need to change what we are doing at the moment. It’s about repeating our performances with the bat and ball. And keep being fearless.”
The Delhi Capitals will be up against Chennai Super Kings in their next game of the IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Wednesday (May 10), while Royal Challengers Bangalore will play Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai a day before (May 9).
