Reflecting on the challenge posed by the youngster, Jamieson said the Delhi Capitals had done its homework but still felt the pressure of facing an unusually composed teenage batter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m up here. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been so fearful of a 15-year-old kid in my life. But yeah, we\u2019d obviously done a bit of planning leading into the game, and it was just nice that it played off,\u201d Jamieson said in a video released by IPL on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
DC pulled off a record chase, overhauling Rajasthan Royals\u2019 225\/6 with five balls to spare to seal a seven-wicket win. While the batters, led by KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka, starred in the chase with half-centuries, Jamieson highlighted the importance of early breakthroughs with the new ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFor most teams looking at their side, it\u2019s their top two, especially, you\u2019ve got to get them off to a flyer. Starkey got one with the old high full toss, and I got one with the yorker,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo it was nice to get it away early and sort of, I guess, stem the flow a little bit in the power play,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jamieson also praised the impact of sharing the new ball with fellow left-arm quick Mitchell Starc, whose experience and quality added balance to the attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s world-class, right? So whenever you can have one of those guys in your squad, it\u2019s a huge benefit. So it came at the right time when we needed to get a bit of a move on on the points table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have him and nice to share the new ball with him. It\u2019s pretty surreal,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Meanwhile, with this win, Delhi Capitals have strengthened their position in the points table. They are now placed at the sixth spot with 8 points in nine matches. DC will next face Chennai Super Kings at their home ground Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
