Speaking ahead of the match, Amre said, “Many teams have made comebacks after a poor start in the IPL. That’s the beauty of this tournament. Any team can beat any side. That’s why we have to give our best. It’s going to be challenging for us to play against Gujarat. But you never know, what can happen in the IPL.”

The assistant coach added, “We have to stay in the present and focus on taking the two points in our next game. Our middle order has to bat better and we’ll look to improve our batting in the death overs.”

Asked about pushing an in-form Axar Patel up the batting order, Amre said Delhi also needs him in the finisher’s role. “Axar has the ability to finish the game. We need someone to play the finisher’s role.”

“He has struck the highest number of sixes for us this season. Therefore, we have to hold him back sometimes, so that he can play the finisher’s role in the batting order,” he said.

When DC and GT met in the IPL match on 4 April, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Gujarat comfortably won by six wickets.
