Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was disappointed and blamed the batters for their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore by 16 runs on Saturday.
The skipper lauded David Warner for a blazing half-century but rued over others as they failed to carry the momentum and eventually were restricted to 173-7 after 20 overs.
The Delhi Capitals’ captain said he would not blame Mitchell Marsh as it was his first game for DC, however, Pant said his bowlers could have done better and bowled according to their plans.
“Can’t blame Marsh also, since it is his first game. He looked rusty, but it’s part and parcel of the game,” Pant said after the match.
“I think we could’ve bowled according to our plans but we were slightly under the pump from DK (Dinesh Karthik) in the latter half. I’ve said before too, we’ve got to learn from our mistakes,” he added.
Meanwhile, Mustafizur Rahman had a terrible outing against RCB as the Bangladesh star went costly in his allotted four-overs with 48 for none.
