How Delhi Capitals Bounced Back From COVID-19 Setback In IPL 2022, Shane Watson Shares The Secret

Having registered three wins and four losses in their first seven matches, Delhi Capitals will look to start their second half of the IPL 2022 campaign on a solid note as they take on Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium. Reflecting on the campaign so far, Delhi Capitals' assistant coach Shane Watson said: "For me, the most important thing is, us getting closer and closer and playing the perfect game of T20 cricket and just doing that over and over again. We had that a few times, we did that against Punjab Kings. We were good, we weren't at our absolute best, but Punjab Kings on that day weren't great. We also had some other performances where we got really close to that, and that's all we can do."

With seven matches to go, the Delhi Capitals assistant coach said, "For us to get into the final, we have to be consistently playing at our best for the whole 40 overs, not just 35 or 36 overs."

"We know we can do that. So, definitely, the most exciting thing is that we have got the incredible skill and incredible talent within our group. We just got to harness that and bring that together for the next seven games," he added.

When asked about how the team bounced back from the COVID-19 setback, the former Aussie all-rounder stated, "It is challenging when you are isolated because we human beings are social animals. So, when you are isolated from the group when you are just in your own thoughts for more than a couple of days, it does make it challenging. But, it also made us appreciate getting out, getting to the ground, getting to the training, and getting to the game as well. And, to appreciate being out in the fresh air, making the most of it. So, it was definitely a challenging week for everyone, having
