The disappointed Eoin Morgan says talent alone cannot take far
After suffering a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan said that his side has a bunch of talented individuals, but the only talent cannot bring victories. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan starred with the bat as Delhi Capitals defeated KKR by 7 wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Shaw and Dhawan played knocks of 82 and 46 respectively as Delhi Capitals recorded a win with 21 balls to spare. With this victory, Delhi moved to the second spot in the points table with 10 points.
“Very disappointed. We were slow off the blocks with the bat, lost wickets in the middle period and Russell got us to 150-plus. Then got slow off the blocks with the ball. Shaw played brilliantly, nothing much we could do. Also shows how good the surface was. We were not good enough with all departments. He (Cummins) is part of our new ball plans," Morgan told host broadcaster Star Sports.
Shivam Mavi was hit six consecutive fours by Shaw. Morgan lamented saying, “Mavi bowled four on the trot last game and bowled well. Just did not go to plan today.”
