After this resounding victory, KKR captain Shreyas Iyer praised the team’s performance. He said they had only set a target of 210-220 runs.

Iyer also praised the bowlers who maintained pressure on the Delhi batsmen throughout the match and did not give them any chance to score runs.

Captain Shreyas Iyer said, ‘To be honest, we had only set a target of 210-220 runs. But scoring 272 was really a bonus. I said in the pre-match interview that Sunny owes us a good job. Talking about Raghuvanshi, he said that he was fearless from the first ball. His hard work is amazing. And the way he played the shots was something to watch. It is a matter of happiness that all the bowlers came forward at the right time and took advantage of the opportunities presented. Regarding Harshit Rana’s injury, he said he didn’t even know what happened. He was standing in the field holding his shoulder. I myself have been through a similar situation. Vaibhav Arora took some important wickets for us, he bowled brilliantly today.’
