We just didn&rsquo;t turn up on the day, said Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Rishabh Pant while asking his teammates to introspect following the side&rsquo;s crushing 106-run defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) here on Wednesday.

&ldquo;As a batting unit, we only wanted to keep going hard as a team. I would rather get all out as a team than not go for the target,&rdquo; he added.
<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/kkrs-narine-russell-muscle-their-way-to-2727-23342861" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sunil Narine</a>, who blazed away to 85 off 39 balls, got a life as Pant was late in calling for DRS on an outside edge by the West Indian early in the game.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I think it was quite loud here. At the same time, couldn&rsquo;t see the timer on the screen. There was some problem on the screen. But there are some things you can control, some things you can&rsquo;t,&rdquo; said Pant.
Axar Patel, the lone spinner in the DC team, bowled only one over that yielded 18 runs. &ldquo;See the thought process was that we didn&rsquo;t want to use spinners, but our fast bowlers were going through the motions. I think it is time for reflections as an individual. We need to learn from these mistakes and come out positive in the next match.&rdquo;
Pant, who is coming off a long layoff, himself looked in fine touch as he scored his second consecutive fifty.
