Axar Patel, skipper of the Delhi Capitals, arrived for the post-match press conference beaming moments after his team beat Rajasthan Royals via the Super Over on Wednesday night at the Kotla here.

The Capitals have their star pacer Mitchell Starc to thank for the win. He first brilliantly defended just nine runs in the last over that comprised four accurate yorkers, and then ensured RR could score just 11, losing both wickets, in their Super Over which was easily chased down by DC in just four deliveries.
