Kolkata: After registering a thrilling win over SunRisers Hyderabad in the thrilling eliminator Delhi Capitals advisor Sourav Ganguly gave all the credits to young wicket keeper batsman Rishabh Pant who played a magical knock of 49 runs to help Delhi to reach the second playoff.” Rishabh played a magical knock against SRH. Hough it’s not the right time to say that he is India’s best wicket keeper batsman after MS Dhoni but if he wasn’t thee today then we would have lost the game. In that pressure situation Rishabh kept his cool and helped us to win the game.
Ganguly also took a dig at the BCCI selectors for not picking Rishabh in the World Cup squad and termed it as a ‘Wrongful act’.” The selectors have made a huge mistake by not picking Rishabh in the World Cup squad. His power hitting would have been handy for the Men in Blue in World Cup,” added DC’s Advisor.
The team who will play better cricket on the given day would win the second playoff feels the former India skipper.” Any team can win the match on that day. You have to play good cricket on the given day to get over the line. Though they have a player like MS Dhoni in their side but you have to remember that they have lost their last two matches and we have won our last two encounters. But we aren’t thinking of final right now. I have just told the boys to enjoy the playoff,” added Sourav.
Ganguly revealed that the whole dugout was under immense pressure during the final two overs of the game.” We were under a lot of pressure in the final over of the game. The whole dug out was praying to god that somehow the players take two runs and finally we won the game,” concluded Ganguly.
