IPL 2026: Momentum Slipped After DC Lost A Cluster Of Wickets, Admits Skipper Axar
On a pitch which had dry cracks, DC slipped from 74/1 to 89/5, thanks to a spin choke from Kolkata Knight Riders, and ended up at 142/8. KKR eventually chased down the total with 34 balls to spare, thanks to Finn Allen’s unbeaten 47-ball century. Compared to KKR spinners taking 3-76 in their combined 12 overs, DC’s spinners conceded a whopping 102 runs from nine overs for just one wicket.
“I think the runs were definitely below par, and at the same time, the spinners made quite a few mistakes. Looking at the way the pitch behaved, I feel the spinners did make errors. But at the same time, if you notice, we lost five wickets in two to three overs, and I think that’s where the momentum slipped away from us. That’s probably something we need to think about because the same thing happened against CSK. We started well, and then suddenly wickets kept falling,” Axar said at the conclusion of the game.
