We were not thinking of match going to Super Over: Iyer

Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer Saturday said that his side did not expect their IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders to go to the Super Over via which they eventually won.

"Definitely a long day at the office. We didn't expect it to go that deep, expected us to finish it with an over to spare," Iyer said after his side won the match in Super Over.

Chasing 186 for a win, the Delhi capitals could only score 185 for 6 to tie the match and take it to the Super Over.

"Credit must go to Kuldeep Yadav for that over (last over)."
Talking about his pacer Kagiso Rabada who bowled the Super Over brilliantly, Iyer said, "Kagiso and I had a chat before the super over and he told me that he would go for yorkers all through, first, second, third, every ball. It takes some special skill to execute that."
"All our batters decided that whoever gets going should take the side home, and Prithvi Shaw did that for us. Hopefully he can continue doing it for us."
"I am really happy with myself as well because I refused to let the pressure come onto me after a few dots."
"Obviously, lots of nerves. I just saw it as a simulation and glad it paid off. You have to keep your wits about you and be really clear on what you have to bowl. I just went with yorkers and it worked in the end. I was clear and backed my plan."
"I spoke to my support-staff, Ricky, Sourav, Praveen Amre and I figured out that I was going a little too hard early."
"Kuldeep and Piyush were getting good turn. Batting became difficult, but we were looking to pick the singles and doubles. I have ten more matches to come and I am hoping to continue with the same intensity in the rest of them as well."
