"I believe this is more than enough" - Axar Patel after DC scored 224 in IPL 2024 clash vs GT
At the mid-innings break, DC all-rounder Axar Patel reflected on the action that unfolded during the first innings and said:
"I think it's a phenomenal effort. They finished it off very well. It's good to see we are finishing well. I think I went up the order as the role was to negate the spinners. When Rishabh came out in the middle our plan was to take it deep and try to finish it off well."
Patel added:
"I think the mindset is very important. It's important to have a positive mindset against bowlers like Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan. So we thought if it's in our area we will go after it. When we were in the middle we were thinking about 170-180 when the wickets were falling. I believe this is more than enough."
