“I spoke before the game about being positive. We knew the wicket was slow and low, and we spoke about playing off the backfoot. I thought 180 was par, I felt we would have to bat really well to get there. (On Mitch Marsh) He came in and hit the second ball for six or something like that, it put bowlers on the backfoot. Loving the support, specially here in Delhi,” said Salt after the match.

Really liked, the way Phil Salt and DC have ruthlessly humbled the RCB tonight. Now it’s Mumbai Indians boys turn to do humble them on 9th May. pic.twitter.com/axfZ7F4aSk
