DC vs RR Highlights: ‘There’s room for improvement’, believes DC skipper Pant after win over RR
Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant feels that there is always room for improvement for his team, even after registering a thumping win over Rajasthan Royals.
A 144-run stand between Mitchell Marsh (89) and David Warner (52*) helped DC register.
An eight-wicket win against RR here at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
“Very close to a perfect game. Always believe there’s room for improvement.
When you know the wicket is going to turn, little bit not much, there’s an opportunity to both bowl first or bat first.
In the toss I said anything around 140-160 would be good for us, and we got 160,” said Pant in a post-match presentation.
