Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre opined on the need to bat better in the powerplay overs before facing Mumbai Indians on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. He feels the top four batters getting runs makes a massive difference as well. However, the Capitals are under a lot of pressure, as they have lost their first three games. Barring David Warner, no other batter has managed to contribute.

Ahead of the crucial game on Tuesday, Amre said: “IPL is a long tournament, and we are hopeful about our chances. Sometimes you don’t start well, but the way we finish is more important. We have to work on our powerplay game with the bat. When your top four batters get runs, then your team is in a different position. However, we have to execute our plans well in all three departments of the game as well.”

While David Warner has been amongst the highest run-scorers of the season, he has struggled to score at good pace. He scored 56 off 48 against the Lucknow Super Giants and 65 off 55 against the Rajasthan Royals, which saw him facing criticism also.

“We are currently focussing on the present, and we are looking forward to our match against Mumbai Indians. And the fact that we are playing at home is a plus point for us. Prithvi Shaw is a capable batter. But yes, he hasn’t delivered according to our expectations. We are hopeful that he will deliver for us. We all know that he has the ability,” Pravin Amre concluded.
