Rohit Sharma is confident of bouncing back in the IPL after facing a loss against Delhi Capitals in their first match. Rohit Sharma who won the toss opted to bowl. Rishab Pant's 78 of 27 with 7 sixers and 7 boundaries helped DC to secure a victory.
Rohit Sharma who spoke at the conference said, "First game is always a bit of a challenge for most of the teams. Lot of new players in the squad as well. We made a lot of mistakes today, as simple as that. We were pretty much in the game in the first 10 overs when we were bowling, but the way Rishabh batted, you've got to give him credit.
We didn't execute our plans well with the ball, but having said that, we're all professional cricketers, and we have to learn from our mistakes and come back positively next time. We had six options. We didn't have another spinner because we thought the pitch would do something initially, and they had a few left-handers so we didn't pick the legspinner. I wasn't convinced he would bowl four overs. That was my thinking. The combination might change for the next game."
