Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals' skipper Axar Patel believes their seven-wicket defeat against Gujarat Titans on Saturday can be attributed to his side falling ‘10-15 runs short’ while setting the total which proved to be the difference in the day.
DC were cruising at 173-4, and with just three overs left, fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium here were expecting them to go all out. But Prasidh Krishna’s late spell which dismissed Axar and Vipraj Nigam on consecutive deliveries handed heavy blows to the visitors and solid death bowling by Ishant Sharma and Sai Kishore restricted them to 203/8 in 20 overs.
Axar believes the reason for Delhi’s loss was the fall of regular wickets but it was not a concerning outing and they will not dwell on the game for much longer.
