IPL 2026: DC Were 10–15 Runs Short, Difference Made By Set Batter, Admits Axar
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel admitted his side was below par in their eight-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 on Tuesday, conceding that the team was 10–15 runs short with the bat, and on a sticky pitch, they missed the point of difference a set batter could offer.
“Obviously, the way the wicket was playing in the first innings, I felt that yes, 155 was a good score. But since we were playing with eight batters, I felt we were about 10-15 runs short,” Axar said after the match ended, with Sanju Samson hitting an unbeaten 87 in a successful chase for CSK.
Reflecting on the surface, Axar said conditions eased out for set batters but remained tricky for new ones. “I feel it got a little better, but I think the difference was made by the set batter. When a batter is well set, it feels like there is nothing in the pitch, but I still feel there was something in it.
