New Delhi. Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has praised the performance and dedication of the Old Delhi 6 team in the Adani Delhi Premier League (DPL). The semi-final match against South Delhi Superstarz was canceled due to rain, which shattered Old Delhi 6’s dream of reaching the final. However, Pant praised the team’s efforts throughout the tournament. After the semi-final match was washed out due to rain, according to the rules of the tournament, the team that finished higher in the points table reached the final of the tournament. In this way, second-placed South Delhi Superstarz made it to the final and Old Delhi 6, who finished third with 10 points, was eliminated. Rishabh Pant, who closely monitors the performance of Old Delhi 6, said that the team will come back stronger in the next season.
The Indian star wicketkeeper batsman also shared a post on his Instagram story, the caption of which was “Our team has won hearts. Pant said in a statement, I saw the performance of the team and also their hard work. They worked hard to reach here. It is unfortunate that the rain spoiled our work a bit, but I am very proud of every player. We left our mark this season. I am confident that we will come back stronger next year and aim to win the title. Meanwhile, veteran Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma praised the commitment of Old Delhi 6 during the season. He was disappointed at not being able to play in the semi-finals, but praised the dedication of the players during the Delhi Premier League.
Ishant said, I have seen how much effort the players have put in throughout the tournament. It is disappointing to be out like this, but the team can keep its head high. We have shown great potential and I know that the next season will be even better. It is worth mentioning that rain has spoiled the fun of the tournament for the last few days in the Delhi Premier League. Seeing these problems in the tournament, it has become clear how important it is to have a reserve day for knockout matches. If there was a reserve day, Old Delhi 6 could have got a chance to make it to the final.
