Yash Dhull (Central Delhi Kings Captain): "(On their winning run) That's the hallmark of a good team—that every player contributes and you get a new performer in different matches. If you look at our team, almost every player has played at least one innings that has helped us win a game. Touch wood, hopefully, this continues for us going forward as well.
(Toss going in their favour) No, sir, the toss is definitely a factor, but at the same time, it's not everything. We'll show you that we can perform with the bat even when we bat first.
(On Siddharth Joon) No, sir. Siddharth Joon has a lot of talent. I've rarely seen a player in Delhi who can hit sixes at will and control the game the way he does. It's important for him now to gain confidence from this innings and carry that forward. Hopefully, he'll continue playing good innings for our team. I'd like to wish him all the best."

Siddharth Joon (POTM): "(Wishing him Happy Birthday) Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
(About his family's presence today in the stands) Yes, sir. My whole family came today for my birthday. I don't think there's a better way to celebrate your birthday than this.
(How are you feeling?) Sir, I'm feeling really good. This was something I had been trying to achieve for a long time, but it just wasn't happening. So, today I'm feeling really good. It's my birthday as well, so that makes it even more special for me. I'm really excited and very proud today.
(About his partnership with Yash Dhull) He supports me a lot. Even off the field, he supports me, and on the field, he keeps talking to me a lot. He tells me, "Don't lose your wicket, take your time, have a look." He talks to me a lot and gives me a lot of support. We have really good coordination, and I always build good partnerships with him.
(Thoughts on the surface today) It was a very, very flat pitch. It was really easy for the batters, and thankfully, I was able to play on it today."

A magnificent performance with the ball from Grewal, Tripathi and Khurana then a spectacular boundary showcase from Dhull, Saini and Joon. A couple of trios helping the Kings strengthen themselves at the top of the DPL points table with 12 points to their name!
