IPL’s second leading wicket-taker, Delhi Capitals’ experienced
leg-spinner Amit Mishra made his first appearance of the season on Friday
against Chennai, and produced a wily performance to put his team into a
commanding position.
The crafty spinner over a virtual press conference on Monday said
having won two matches they are not taking any opponent lightly.
DC will face SRH in next match. David Warner lead team is winless
from last two matches.
Asked whether SRH losing their first two matches gives an edge to
his team, Mishra answered in the affirmative. He said, “Having lost the first
two matches, there is always pressure on the team. However, it is just the
start of the tournament so it won’t be that much. But we don’t talk about such
things in our dressing room – we focus on ourselves. We have a good rhythm to
our game and are high on confidence. It doesn’t mean we are complacent. We are
fully focused on our planning and giving our best tomorrow on the field.
Certainly won’t be taking them lightly.
Amid talks of Kane Williamson returning to the line-up for the
opponents on Tuesday, Mishra said his team will be prepared to tackle that
challenge as well. “There is always planning involved for the whole team. Like
I said, we don’t take anyone lightly – we have our plans in place for bowlers
and batsmen – and it will be similar for him (Williamson) as well,” expressed
the 37-year-old.
