"Richa was absolutely awesome" - Ellyse Perry heaps praise on her batting partner after 74-run partnership against Delhi Capitals

Soon after the first innings ended, Perry had a chat with the host broadcasters, where she lauded Richa Ghosh for her handy cameo. The Royal Challengers Bangalore star also spoke about the difference between the conditions at the Brabourne Stadium and tonight's venue, Dr DY Patil Sports Academy.

Ellyse Perry said:

"Look I think considering our start and how tricky it was, Richa was absolutely awesome hitting and took the momentum back in our favour which was absolutely cool. I felt like all the matches at Brabourne, felt like it was holding up a bit. I don't think I struck the ball that well in the beginning."
