IPL 2019: Shikhar Dhawan reveals the reason behind DC’s consistent performance

XtraTime Web Desk: Though Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer was the Man of the Match in today’s game against Kings XI Punjab but it was Shikhar Dhawan’s brilliant half century which laid the foundation of the chase of the home team. Dhawan scored 56 runs in just 41 runs with a strike rate of 136.59 which gave a great start to the home side.  Dhawan looked pleased after DC’s win as he revealed that they have become better in finishing the game.” It was very important for us to win this game. We are playing good cricket and want to qualify for the knockouts. We have become better in finishing the game, but we have to get better,” said Dhawan after the game.

Dhawan just tried to capitalize the power play while chasing a par score.”I knew that we had to cash in the first six overs because it gets harder and slower after that. I have been preparing well for it and executing it on a match day,” added Dhawan.

Another star of the match was home skipper Shreyas Iyer. He remained not out on 58 to take the team home. Shreyas looked pleased with the team’s complete performance.” Really satisfied on winning this one after losing three home games. The way we played, it was really good to see,” said Iyer at the post match presentation ceremony. He lauded Dhawan for giving the side a brilliant start.” Dhawan got us off to a good start and that made it easier for the batsmen to follow. This pitch isn’t suitable for our batsmen who like to play it on the rise, this one’s a really slow wicket.

“. Dhawan is playing fearless cricket right throughout the season and that’s helping us,” added Iyer.
