Delhi Capitals captain David Warner credited his spin bowlers Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for registering a thrilling seven-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Monday. Batting first, Delhi restricted Sunrisers to 137 for six after scoring 144 for nine. For Delhi, Akshar took two wickets for 21 runs in four overs and Kuldeep took one wicket for 22 runs in the same over, increasing the difficulties of Hyderabad. Apart from the spinners, Warner also praised fast bowler Mukesh Kumar and veteran Ishant Sharma for defending 13 runs in the last over.
At the post-match award ceremony, Warner said, “Mukesh was absolutely amazing there under pressure and our two left-arm spinners were brilliant. You would not want the batsman to get used to the bowlers, so I was not using both together and it worked. Should meet He has worked very hard to come back to IPL and what he did was extraordinary. He was telling me from the very first match that I am ready to play. Hopefully we will win the next three matches, then think about it. Our next match is also from Hyderabad.
