That's it from another high scoring thriller in the Indian Premier League. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Deepak Prakash, AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals Captain and Player of the Match): "I think we have seen it before that Nortje has struggled a bit in the past. He has had a tough time in the death overs. T20 is a funny game. The ball was coming nicely onto the bat after 14-15 overs. The thinking process is that when a bowler is having a nice day, then you should back that bowler (Rasikh Salam).
We need to follow our instincts. Sometimes, it comes off, and sometimes it doesn't. I guess I was spot on tonight. Happy that it came off.
At 44/3, we (Axar and Pant) had a simple conversation. The only conversation between Axar and me was to keep going and target their main spinners. Each and every day, I feel better. I give my 100%. It takes some time sometimes. Every hour, I just love being on the field. I think the first six in the match give me confidence in a game. The more time I spend in the centre, the better I feel. Just try to do my best on the field."
