Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): "[Thoughts on the flexibility in the team] In T20 cricket, it's all about the flexibility. If you have players who can play anywhere, it's good. We are open-minded. If the wicket suits any player, we send them.
[On selecting Sameer ahead of Ashutosh as Impact Player] When you practice together, you get to know players. Ashutosh is batting really well. But it's a good thing if this is the problem I'm facing to select players.
[What's the secret behind the wins?] It's important to take one game at a time. If you are winning, it's important to carry forward the momentum. IPL is a long tournament and it's important to carry forward the winning momentum. We will make sure that we don't repeat the mistake we committed last year."

Player of the Match: Sameer Rizvi
Sameer Rizvi: "(What changed since the last year?) I have worked really hard on my weaknesses. I used to have some problems against fast bowlers, but I worked on it in the last year and now I am reaping the fruits.
(Mindset coming in to bat?) I try to play according to the situation. I took some time in both the innings I have played. I tried to watch the ball till the end. And it paid off."
He gets handed the orange cap, grabs it and wears it proudly. Then, continues to talk with a smile on his face. "When you take some time, things become easier for you. (How important is the IPL?) It is an important time for any player, because if you do well here, you can get more opportunities. So, I'll try to continue the good work."

Only the future will tell where this caravan ends for Sameer Rizvi and Delhi Capitals. But the start has been perfect. The rakish right-hander has played two swashbuckling knocks in tough situations to take the team home. And with that, Axar Patel and co. have two Ws against their name. This is despite the big names not firing yet. They play their next game against Gujarat Titans at the same venue, on Wednesday, April 8.
Meanwhile, for Mumbai Indians, it will be quick turnaround. They will fly to Guwahati to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, April 7. But right now, the inaugural champions are in action at Ahmedabad. Switch tabs to tune into GT vs RR.
