Gujarat Titans posted 210 runs in 20 overs in the first innings. With a magnificent knock by KL Rahul, supported by Pathum Nissanka's aggressive batting early in the second innings, DC was looking in good shape while chasing the challenging total. Because of a collapsing middle-order, the contest suddenly spiced up, and all the responsibilities shifted onto the shoulders of David Miller.
With a narrow defeat, Miller was devastated; the entire Delhi Capitals team was devastated. DC skipper Axar Patel kept himself as calm as possible during the presentation ceremony and during the post-match press conference as well. He did not blame the experienced Proteas batter at all.
"As I said earlier, in a close chase, in a close game, you can point out a lot of things. But I think in the chase, I think we could have played smarter," Patel said in the post-match interaction.
Burst of emotions as soon as the DC players went inside the dressing room
In the dressing room, Patel mentioned that they could have lost the match earlier if David Miller had not been there in the middle to smash those big shots. The skipper said that everyone was sad, feeling bad after the heartbreaking result, but it was not the end for them.
Axar Patel did not blame David Miller
"At the start of this season, I told you (all) to control emotions and stay calm in any situation. We are all sad, feeling sad, but we can still smile, it's okay. All are, you know, sad, feeling sad. We can still smile, it's okay. It is a long tournament."
