"There are two facets of the game for me - batting and fielding. I look to stop ones in the ring and take some catches near the boundary. Fortunately, I got one, and it was a great result for us. I get a buzz out of fielding, and I try to save runs for the bowlers," added Warner.

On Monday, Sarfaraz Khan played a decent knock of 16-ball 32 that played a valuable role in DC's win. Speaking on his innings, Sarfaraz stated, "I had never opened before the game against Punjab Kings, so I was looking to enjoy the position. Before I got this opportunity, I had a feeling that I could bat well as an opener, and things went according to plan against Punjab."

"I wouldn't have been happy if my innings hadn't helped the team win. The environment within the team is good, and we have to play well in one more game to qualify for the playoffs. After our batting, I told everyone in the team that it was only a matter of one wicket. If we get one wicket, we'll be in the game, and we kept picking up wickets throughout Punjab's innings," concluded Sarfaraz.
