After inflicting a huge blow to the Punjab Kings' hopes of making their place into the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs, Delhi Capitals (DC) assistant coach Shane Watson on Friday said that DC will ruin some seasons in the cricket extravaganza.

In the pre-match conference, Watson emphasized the importance of the game for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and what role DC could play against the IPL Giants. "Playing CSK is always a big game and there will be a lot of yellow at the Kotla.

Our job now will definitely be to ruin some seasons and this is exactly what Ricky (Ponting) spoke in the pre-match talk," Shane Watson said.

In the absence of DC skipper Rishabh Pant, a few players were expected to play a crucial role and fill in his boots to maintain the balance in the young dynamic team.
