“Last Moment Decision Mess Up Game”: Delhi Capital Star Vipraj Nigam did not copy words

Due to the defeat of a third house, spin all-rounder Vipraj Nigam said that Delhi’s capitals are firm to bounce back, not only to reach the playoffs but also to finish the top-two in the IPL standing. DC lost 14 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders after falling low in his 205 pursuit, and Nigam admitted that some shot -selection errors gave him a match in the match on Tuesday. “There are some decisions that we take at the last moment, due to which the game sometimes gets messed up here and there. But we are still in the top four, and we have five more games left, in which we will try to return and finish in the top two,” Nigam told reporters.

The capitals currently have 12 points and are occupying the table fourth.

“Our plan was to target our two main spinners and we did it in the first two overs, but there were some moments where we wiped out our shot in selection or something happened because our set players went out.

“It is very difficult for such a bowling line-up, coming immediately and playing a shot. That is why if the set players continue to play, we must have won the match easily,” Nigam said.

The 20-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder, who had become wicket-wicket in the last four matches, returned with a 2 figure for 41 and also made 19-heads 38.

“IPL is a journey where you always face ups and downs. But the main thing is how strong your mindset is, how the team’s atmosphere is – the role of seniors is very important, and they have always supported me.” The Uttar Pradesh cricketer demonstrated his batting skills, which had five fours and two sixes to give DC a glimpse of expectation against KKR.

“Until last year, I had performed in domestic cricket in the same way. I scored 70-75 runs in 2-3 matches, but in the middle, I flopped in some innings, as my confidence went down, and then you needed support or backup time.

Rahane may require a few days to recover: Anti Roy

KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane suffered a hand injury during a victory over Delhi’s capitals, leading senior spinner Sunil Narin in the last nine overs.

Rahane hurt his hand while fielding on the short cover, when a firm shot from DC opener FAF du Plessis hit him, causing the Captain to be dropped from the field for medical attention. He drowned heavy with his hand, he did not return.

KKR spinner Anukul Roy said that doctors would assess and determine the severity of the injury.

“It doesn’t look very serious. He may need a few days to recover. The doctor will assess and provide more clarity, but for now, he is fixing. He gets some stitches,” Anukul said.

Defending 205, Raine’s gambling paid the ball to toss Anukul (1/27), who was playing his first game this season, because the spinner produced an early success, rejecting Abishek Porl (4) on the second ball of the innings.
