I Credit My Confidence To A Quality Conversation With Dhoni: Ripal Patel
Delhi Capitals' middle-order batsman Ripal Patel, who made his IPL debut against the Chennai Super Kings on Monday evening, was thrilled about the fact that Mahendra Singh Dhoni saw him bat from behind the stumps.
"It was a different feeling altogether to see Mahi bhai behind the stumps when I took guard. It felt really good that Mahi bhai was watching me play. I started playing cricket watching Mahi bhai and I am looking to become a finisher like him. After the game, I asked him how he finishes every match, how he thinks on the field and what goes on in his mind while chasing a score. We had a good chat and he gave me a lot of confidence," said Ripal, who scored 18 runs off 20 deliveries in his debut game as Delhi Capitals defeated the three-time IPL champions by three wickets in a low-scoring game.
