Delhi Capitals tried to keep Kolkata Knight Riders' Andre Russell away from facing spinners too frequently during their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, said all-rounder Lalit Yadav.

"We had a plan that we would not bowl spinners much in front of Andre Russell. We had a plan of bowling Ishant, Rabada and Avesh to him and implementing bouncers and yorkers against him," said Yadav in the post-match press conference. Russell came onto the middle in the 11th over after Yadav dismissed KKR captain Eoin Morgan and Sunil Narine for ducks. He eventually scored 45 from the 27 balls, pushing KKR to 154/6. However, DC won the match by seven wickets.
