New Delhi, Apr 15 Delhi Capitals' England pacer Chris Woakes, who made his debut for the team in IPL 2021's second match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), has said that he was feeling positive at the franchise. Woakes was picked by DC in IPL 2020 auction but he had pulled out of the tournament to keep himself fresh for the busy international summer for England. However, the franchise showed faith in him and retained him for the 2021 season. In the absence of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, Chris Wokaes led the pace attack of last year's finalists in their first match of the season and picked up 2 wickets by spending 18 runs against MS Dhoni-led CSK. Woakes has said that he was getting 'good family sort of vibe' at Capitals. "Yeah, always nice to, I suppose to start with a new team. Obviously, played with a couple of IPL teams but there is a real good feel here, good family sort of vibe going on," Woakes said in a video posted by Delhi Capitals' official Twitter handle. Delhi Capitals under their new captain Rishabh Pant registered a thumping 7- wicket win against CSK on Saturday. Woakes said that starting the campaign on a winning note was good for the team. He added that DC are confidently looking forward to their next game against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday. "It is too early, it's always good to get off to a good start. Winning your first game gives everyone a bit of confidence.
