Left speechless after Delhi Capitals&PU Plant Squishy Toys Manufacturers39; collapse, skipper Shreyas Iyer said his team simply "panicked" and "miscalculated" the target in its 14-run loss to Kings XI Punjab in an IPL fixture here.."I couldn't figure it out what happened today. Credit to Shami and Curran. We just have to apply ourself in between and just be smart, everyone has got a good mindset.Delhi were going strong at 144 for 3 in the 17th over, chasing 167 but Sam Curran's hat-trick saw the visitors being bowled out for 152 in 19."Our batting has been really dominant right from the start but we need to learn from this small things.. We were probably 25 runs short.In their earlier match, Delhi Capitals had won the game in a Super over despite looking good at one stage to overhaul the target against Kolkata Knight Riders. We didn't play smart cricket and Punjab outplayed us in all the departments. They got two wickets in succession, (Chris) Morris and (Rishabh) Pant and there we lost the match."I feel these things happen in the game, it is uncontrollable."Looking at the quality we have, I think we shouldn't be losing such matches.2 overs."Also we didn't bowl that great to be honest, we got a bad start but we controlled in between and that is something we need to take forward," the Delhi skipper said. We have played lot of cricket and have good experience also."A delighted KXIP skipper Ravichandran Ashwin said that they were waiting for Rishabh Pant to make a mistake and cash in from thereon.
We backed ourselves to defend with three spinners," he said."Iyer said Delhi will have enough time to work on their shortcoming since it happened early in the tournament.. It is a crucial match and losing such matches is not going to benefit us," Iyer said at the post-match presentation ceremony. I think It was just a panic in between..Iyer said his team needs to learn from their mistakes. With the way we were going, we came to run-a-ball and to lose from there. It happened in the previous match as well, we were going really good and suddenly ball-to-ball. # Iyer said his team needs to learn from their mistakes. Our batsmen did not taking initiative to win the game," the skipper said."We miscalculated the target. When Rishabh hit the six, we just needed to hang in there."Not many times, you defend. So I am really confident as a captain to pass on the ball to him at any time."In a way, it is good that it happened at the start of the tournament, there will lot of learning out of this and we will look to comeback strong," he said. We just have to smart and be calculative in taking risks."Asked about Sandeep Lamichhane, who took two for 27, Iyer said: "Sandeep is a confident lad, he has been playing all over the world, he has been bowling invariably really well."I am really speechless."Iyer was also critical of their bowling."It is not that we are weak."Really disappointing. I have great confidence on him and definitely he will do well in the tournament. these are key factors we have to work on," he said.Delhi were going strong at 144 for 3 in the 17th over, chasing 167 but Sam Curran's hat-trick saw the visitors being bowled out for 152."The way he varies the pace and he spins the ball even when the wicket is really flat。
