Delhi Capitals tried to preserve Kolkata Knight Riders’ Andre Russell away from dealing with spinners too regularly throughout their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on the Narendra Modi Stadium, says allrounder Lalit Yadav.
“We had a plan that we would not bowl spinners much in front of Andre Russell. We had a plan of bowling Ishant, Rabada and Avesh to him and implementing bouncers and yorkers against him,” mentioned Yadav within the post-match press convention on Thursday.
Russell walked to the center within the eleventh over after Yadav dismissed KKR captain Eoin Morgan and Sunil Narine for geese. He finally scored 45 from the 27 balls, pushing KKR to 154/6. However, DC received the match by seven wickets.

This was the third consecutive match by which Yadav made a big contribution with the bat or ball. He mentioned that having the ability to play commonly and the truth that he has performed in home cricket with lots of the senior members of the squads helps in constructing confidence.
“Confidence increases when you are able to contribute to the side’s cause. Cricket is all about how we think and how positive one can remain,” mentioned Yadav.
