IPL 2022: When you win, everything seems positive even if you commit mistakes, says Lalit Yadav

Lalit Yadav, one of the blue-eyed boys of Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting, feels that a victory always creates a positive vibe despite the mistakes committed on the job. The COVID-hit DC crushed Punjab Kings by nine wickets with 57 balls to spare. Lalit with figures of 2/11, which included the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan, contributed to the victory.

"It was a different vibe altogether. You know, when we win, everything seems to look positive, no matter how many mistakes we commit," Lalit said ahead of Capitals' next match against Rajasthan Royals on Friday. "That's a really great thing for the team, especially when the next match is in two days.

The momentum we've gained is really important, and we will go into the next game with confidence." With six positive COVID-19 cases in the DC camp, there was an element of uncertainty but Lalit said that players were all focussed on the game. "We just discussed how to enjoy the game and give our 100%. We were just focusing on the match.

We also had one training session the other day, so it's not that we didn't have any practice at all. "It's just that we didn't know whether the match would happen or not, but overall, we were confident about our abilities," he said. Speaking about the next match, the all-rounder said, "They (RR) have been one of the most consistent teams in the tournament so far, and have been playing quality cricket.
