    IPL 2026: We Play Every Match To Win, But Relaxed Mode Is Over, Says Munaf Patel

    Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel stressed that while every game is played with the intent to win, the side has moved past its ‘relaxed mode’ and is now firmly focused on maintaining the winning momentum if they are to enter the IPL 2026 playoffs.

    Both DC and Chennai Super Kings, their opponents in Tuesday’s clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, are at eight points. But DC are at seventh spot due to their net run rate being in negative. With both teams in a similar situation, it will be a crucial game for DC to prove that their campaign revival is for real after chasing down 226 against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.

    “You don't have any other option but to win the match. Obviously, we play every match to win, but now the relaxed mode is over. If you want to qualify, you have to win all the matches. We have won and we have forgotten that. If we keep remembering that, we will lose again. It is better that we forget that and move forward with the momentum of the winning match,” said Munaf in the pre-match press conference.
