    IPL 2026: 'KL Gave Me Some Tips On How To Play In These Venues', Says DC Opener Nissanka

    Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals opener Pathum Nissanka said his 76-run opening stand with KL Rahul was built on a clear plan to attack early, and credited the senior wicketkeeper-batter for sharing valuable tips during their partnership.

    Thanks to that partnership, where Nissanka made 41 off 24 balls and even took 23 runs off Ashok Sharma in the final over of power-play, DC reached 100 in 9.4 overs in a chase of 211. But they suffered a one-run defeat to Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, as DC got their first loss of the competition.

    "Me and Rahul tried to dominate in the powerplay. I think that’s our game plan. We batted really well. He shared his experience and gives me some tips on how to play in these venues. I try to do my best every time because I trust myself, I believe in it, and I go and do it – that’s it," said Nissanka in the post-match press conference.
