At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar ran through the DC batting line-up with impeccable lengths, swing and bounce to bundle them out for 75, which defending champions RCB chased down with 81 balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I still don\u2019t understand what happened. But everyone says that in cricket, every day you have to be on your toes, and you have to come back and do the same things again and again. But yes, when you go into the next match, you have to forget this and move on,\" Axar said at the conclusion of the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On the early swing that undid his side\u2019s top order, Axar said the top three batters could have negotiated the swing better. \"I wouldn\u2019t say surprised - they are world-class bowlers, and they swing the ball anywhere, they have done it on every ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut yes, I feel if our openers or one of the top-order batters had negotiated those first couple of overs better, it could have made a difference, and the match might have been different. But credit to them for the way they bowled.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on momentum shifts for DC, who are now on a three-game losing streak, Axar said, \"Yes, if I talk about today, you can think like that. But I feel ifs and buts will keep happening. You might think that if we had taken that catch or completed that run in the GT game, maybe the momentum would have stayed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut these things keep happening. What\u2019s important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what you\u2019ve been doing. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe IPL is a very tough tournament - you can\u2019t think even for a day that things will come easy. You have to come and execute every time. Yes, momentum matters, but you can\u2019t keep thinking \u2018what if that had happened.\u2019 It\u2019s better to focus on what\u2019s in front of you,\" he elaborated. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut these things keep happening. What\u2019s important is that you come every day and keep doing the same things, stay on your toes, and keep doing what you\u2019ve been doing. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201dSo we have to forget this and move ahead. I'll also tell the team the same - one bad game doesn\u2019t mean you start pointing fingers or blaming the batters. We need to stay positive, continue what we\u2019ve been doing in the last 6-7 matches, and keep the right mindset.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
