We just didn’t turn up that day. Today was one of those days,” Pant said at the post-match presentation ceremony.

DC’s only spinner, Axar Patel, bowled just one ball and scored 18 runs.

“The idea was that we didn’t want to use spinners but our fast bowlers were just going through the motions. I think it’s time to reflect as individuals. We need to learn from these mistakes and improve in the coming games.” Demonstrate a positive attitude to match.”

“Cricket is all about batting, so hopefully contribute more as a batsman. That said, I still enjoy bowling.

“I have a role and the less I know about it the better for me,” he said when the team joked about him not attending batting sessions.

“At the end of the day, that’s what the team needs. If they need me to bat, I’ll bat,” he added.

Winning skipper Shreyas Iyer was full of praise for Narine and youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi, both of whom scored brilliant half-centuries.

“As I said in my bowling interviews, Sonny is here to take on the bowlers and if he can’t, the rest of us should do the same. That’s the plan.

“He (Raguvansh) is fearless off the first ball. His work ethic is outstanding. His ability to analyze situations is good. He is an intelligent batsman and his shots are a joy to watch.”
