Shreyas Iyer Excited about his First Win

New Delhi, April 28: Delhi Daredevils' new captain Shreyas Iyer has had one of the best starts possible to his new role after they registered a huge morale boosting win against the Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday evening in New Delhi

Iyer, who has taken over at veteran Gautam Gambhir stepped down last week, scored an unbeaten 93 off just 40 balls which propelled the Daredevils to 219/4. Iyer’s tally of 93 is also the highest by any IPL batsman on his captaincy debut.

In the chase, Kolkata could only manage 164 and fell short by 55 runs as Delhi’s batsmen and bowlers complimented each other with fantastic performances.

A delighted Iyer who believes it was good to have lost the toss said after the match, "Obviously a great feeling getting on the winning side. It is an amazing feeling winning my first game as a skipper. All of us contributed for this win. We wanted to bowl first. So, a nice toss to lose. It gave the batsman the freedom to express themselves."
