“It was a slightly tricky wicket” - KL Rahul reflects on his game-changing knock against RCB

KL Rahul’s unbeaten knock of 93 off 53 deliveries guided the Delhi Capitals (DC) to a win against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). During the post-game presentation, while accepting his Player of the Match award, the Karnataka batter acknowledged that the pitch was tricky, but he knew it better than anyone else as it was his home ground. He said [as quoted by ESPNcricinfo]:

“It was a slightly tricky wicket but what helped me was being behind the stumps for 20 overs, watching how the wicket played. The ball sat in the wicket but it was consistent throughout, it was one-paced. I knew what my shots are, wanted to get off to a good start, and then assess it accordingly. This is my ground, my home, I know this (ground) better than anyone else.”

Next up, DC will face Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday, April 13, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
