Kuldeep Yadav of the Delhi Capitals (DC) believes bowling has been the team's strong suit this IPL 2022 season, and that the pace department is doing a fantastic job of keeping the opponent under strain during powerplays.

The Capitals won their second game of the season on Sunday, defeating the Kolkata Knight Riders by 44 runs.

“Our bowling performance has been our biggest positive this season. When we were bowling against Mumbai Indians in our first match, it looked like they were going to score over 200 at one point, but we restricted them to a total of 177/5," Kuldeep said in a media release.

“The fast bowlers have been bowling really well. They kept the pressure on the opposition in the Powerplay against KKR, which allowed us to bowl freely later on,” he added.

Kuldeep, who was named Player of the Match against KKR for his 4/35, also talked about his incredible caught and bowled to dismiss Umesh Yadav off his own bowling.

“I knew that only I could go for that catch. The ball was quite far away from everyone else. I kept my eye on the ball throughout while running for the catch and managed to reach for the ball in the end. The catch felt really good.”

The Delhi Capitals have a five-day break before their next IPL 2022 match, which will be against RCB on April 16 in Wankhede.

“These two points were really important for us. The morale in the team will be high as we prepare to play for our next game on Saturday. This win will ensure that there is positive energy in the camp during our five-day break.”
