Delhi Capitals’ Australia batsman Alex Carey is excited to be featured in the Indian Premier League and he was ‘prepared to anything to come here and play.’ The league was initially scheduled to begin on March 19 but it was suspended due to global pandemic COVID-19.
"It's a different situation to be in and to be able to come over here (UAE) and play, to have the IPL go ahead is an amazing feeling. For that, we thank the players - thank everyone for putting things together for us. When we were in England, we had a bubble life there, which went really well," Carey said in a statement.
Alex Carey was earlier featured in the three-match ODI series against England where he scored a century against their arch-rivals England to win the third match.
"From there, we jumped on the plane the day after the game (against England) and stayed in Dubai in our hotel bedrooms for the next 24 hours and got our COVID tests done. We were prepared to do anything to come here and to be able to play. The tournament has started so well for us and with another game just around the corner against CSK, hopefully, big Stoiney (Marcus Stoinis) can continue his great form," he further added.
However, Carey didn’t take part in Delhi Capitals’ game against Kings XI Punjab where they won the game in the super over and he said that he had faith on Kagiso Rabada who bowled the super over and claimed two wickets while restricting the opponent within 2.
"It was my first IPL game and also my first Super Over, so that was a new experience as well. I suppose we went into the Super Over with a bit of momentum and managed to steal the game then. I had full confidence in Rabada, I have faced him a few times, so I was sure that he was going to nail his yorkers, which he has done a few times to me. He was incredible," he concluded.
