Ayush Doseja (West Delhi Lions Captain): "(On today's win) Absolutely, sir. We had discussed our plans before the match, and everyone executed them really well. Our bowling was very good, and our fielding was also excellent. In the end, when the match started, the plan was to bat positively, never allow them to get into the game, and play in a dominating manner. That was the plan, and that's exactly how we executed it.
(Everyone is missing Nitish, but do you want to dedicate this win to him, considering the personal loss he has suffered?) Absolutely, sir. We want to dedicate this game to him and his mother. I said at the toss as well that we would play this game for him and for his mother. From our side, we want to give Nitish Bhaiya our full strength and support. Whenever he rejoins the team, obviously our team and our balance will become even stronger."

Krish Yadav (POTM): "(His approach while chasing) Absolutely, sir. The target was only 60 runs, so there wasn't much time to settle in. I was just trying to capitalise on the two-over powerplay we had. I got a chance, so I was a little lucky there. Then I finished the innings, and it felt really good.
(On his batting form) As a keeper, I feel really good. It's basically a role where you have to be involved in the game and keep things moving, and I really enjoy that. It keeps me fully involved. It also helps me read the pitch really well when I go out to bat. Overall, before this match, I felt I was slightly off touch. I wasn't middling the ball as well as I wanted to. But because this was a small target, there wasn't much time to settle in, and this innings has given me a lot of confidence."

West Delhi Lions add two more points to their tally while things look to be worsening for the East Delhi Riders as they are still searching for their first victory of the season. The only point which they have is from a washed game.
The DPL action continues with Outer Delhi Warriors taking on Purani Dilli-6 in the next encounter. Another exciting contest awaits as the tournament moves forward. You can follow that game for LIVE updates by switching tabs.
