Delhi Capitals Anrich Nortje has said that he may be disappointed with the team not winning the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) title but he is also proud of what they achieved this season. DC’s campaign came to an end when they lost the second Qualifier to Kolkata Knight Riders by three wickets.

The loss meant that DC were denied a second consecutive IPL final and missed out on winning the title once again despite an impressive performance in the league stage. DC topped the table this season with 20 points to their name.

“In sport and in life, things move so rapidly. Can’t believe how time went by with this amazing bunch. Proud of what we achieved and disappointed that we couldn’t get the trophy. Thank you to everyone involved, especially the fans for sticking with us,” Nortje said in his tweet.

DC had lost their last league match to Royal Challengers Bangalore and ended up continuing that form into the play-offs. They first lost to Chennai Super Kings by three wickets. Their defeat to KKR put paid any hopes of winning a maiden league title.

Nortje took 12 wickets and was part of DC’s formidable bowling attack which included his compatriot and fellow fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada, Indian fast bowler Avesh Khan and spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel.
