Delhi Capitals have started the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 with flying colours and they are currently placed at the top of the points table as well. Having secured seven wins in nine matches, they are all set to qualify for the playoffs. However, they will look to keep their winning momentum while playing against Kings XI Punjab at the Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday.

"We are very happy at the moment because, in the first game that we chased, we lost against SRH. We couldn't chase their target of about 160, but against CSK it was good because it was a tough task to chase," told Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Mohammad Kaif.

"We were not chasing well so far in this tournament - we were a defending kind of team. Our bowlers have done well so far, but it was good to see Shikhar - the way he batted, and he had been doing so well in the whole tournament but was getting 20s, 30s every single game. So it was good to see him also getting his first hundred in the IPL," further added Kaif.

While speaking about the squad that can post as well as chase totals with ease, Kaif said that to win a tournament like IPL, one has to be an all-rounder.

"That's the strength of the team and we want to achieve that kind of target you know so that when we are put into the bowl first and chase a target, we should be able to do it. We have some experienced players in the squad and have good bench strength - of course, we were a bit unlucky with some big injuries. But overall we have a squad to go all the way and so far we have done well," shared the assistant coach.
