"I am enjoying captaincy because the players make it really easy, especially the bowlers. Even the way the support staff is managing the team meetings is commendable," Iyer said during the post-match presentation ceremony.

"I think the mixture in our team is really good and we have worked really hard on this. The boys have shared their thoughts pre-tour and their strengths and weaknesses. I am happy with how we are progressing and hoping to maintain the momentum. We can't take anything lightly and need to come with our plans, execute them well," he added.

Asked to bat first, DC posted 184/8 on the board with notable contributions from Shimron Hetmyer (45 off 24 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (39 off 30 balls).

Defending the total, Capitals bundled out Royals for 138 in 19.4 overs, with Kagiso Rabada (3-35), Ravichandran Ashwin (2-22) and Stoinis (2-17) doing the bulk of the damage.

"I'm really happy with the way we came out in the second innings. We thought it was an under-par score but it was stopping on the wicket and the bowlers executed their plans really well. We were also going to bowl first with the dew factor, but thankfully it went in our favour," Iyer remarked.

Delhi Capitals will take on Mumbai Indians in their next clash on Sunday (October 11) in Abu Dhabi.
