Delhi Capitals middle-order batter Sameer Rizvi was awarded Player of the Match for his unbeaten 70 against Lucknow Super Giants. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he revealed that he had been told he would bat at No. 4 and had received strong backing from the coaching staff. He said (as quoted by ESPNcricinfo):

"During practice sessions and matches, I was told I’ll bat at 4 and was given a lot of support by the coaches. Playing at home, you know the conditions and that helped as my state league takes place here. I wanted to be positive in the powerplay but two wickets fell and the situation changed, Stubbs said respect the conditions."

"Once we were set, we knew we could play our natural game. It’s not that I started hitting after getting to fifty. I wanted to take on bad balls, if I got it I’d hit it to the boundary."
