DPL 2025: Outer Delhi Warriors Pacer Shaurya Malik Reflects On Performance Against New Delhi Tigers

The Outer Delhi Warriors: Following Friday's intense encounter between Outer Delhi Warriors and New Delhi Tigers, the Warriors displayed commendable fighting spirit despite facing challenging conditions throughout the match, which resulted in a seven-wicket loss for the Warriors.

Shaurya Malik of the Outer Delhi Warriors provided some resistance, notably by dismissing both Himmat Singh (58 runs) and Shivam Gupta (59 runs) during the Tigers' chase, finishing with figures of 2 wickets for 30.

Speaking about the team's performance and strategic decisions made during the match, Malik emphasised the importance of adapting game plans in real-time situations. He outlined his thoughts on the team's bowling strategy and fielding positioning while looking ahead to the upcoming fixtures with optimism and determination.

Speaking about his tactical approach with the ball, Shaurya Malik, explained how he planned to exploit specific bowling variations at crucial moments.

“I just had a plan to use the slower ball more because there was due and we had to go for the Yorker. There was a stage where they were going to chase the target quickly."

Sharing thoughts about the team's defensive strategy during crucial phases, Shaurya Malik said, “Rather than defence, we went to counter attack. We brought up the fielders and took chances. Of course, the runs were not the priority at that time. Taking wickets was the priority at that time. So, our focus was to take 2-3 more so we can close the gap."
