After his side’s seven-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, England and Delhi Capitals opener Phil Salt said that his side’s momentum is building up quite nicely after notching some wins in their last few matches.
The Delhi Capitals registered a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Saturday. The Delhi Capitals restricted RCB to 181/4 in their 20 overs, before chasing down their total in 16.4 overs.
Speaking about the game, wicketkeeper-batter Philip Salt said as per a press release from Delhi Capitals, “It is 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.”
Salt, who scored 87 runs off 45 balls, added, “We have put the bowlers in difficult situations at times during the tournament and they have 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.”
In five matches so far, Salt has scored 151 runs at an average of 30.20 and a strike rate of 177.64. He has scored two half-centuries this season, with best score of 87.
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 do not 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.”
