New Delhi: It was a joy for the fans as the game between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the (KKR) at the Feroze Shah Kotla here went into the Super Over, but DC skipper Shreyas Iyer rightly pointed out that it was a game that the home team should have finished well before time.
“Definitely a long day at the office. We didn’t expect it to go that deep, expecting us to finish it in the last or second last over; but credit must go to Kuldeep Yadav for that over, taking that pressure and getting through,” he said.

Commenting on Kagiso Rabada’s execution of the yorkers in the Super Over, he said: “Kagiso is a belter of a bowler and at his pace it is tough to hit him. I had a chat before the super over and he told me that he would go for yorkers all through, first, second, third, fourth, every ball. The first one didn’t come off well, but the way he came back takes some special skill to execute.”
KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik also praised Rabada for executing the plan well, but also had a word of encouragement for his own Super Over bowler Prasidh Krishna.
“I think it was a great game, both teams fought pretty well. It went to the Super over and they came out on top. I think Prasidh has been bowling consistently for us at the death, it was a straight forward decision to make. And I think he bowled really well. He has been bowling the tough overs, so we need to back him. It was a topsy-turvy kinda game,” he said.
