IPL 2026: Top-order Collapse Sabotaging DC’s Impact Player Strategy, Admits Badani
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani admitted that the team’s recurring top-order collapses are not only costing them matches but are also affecting their tactical flexibility, especially in terms of using the ‘Impact Player’ rule.
In DC getting an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday night, the hosts lost control of how they intended to play. Last week, in their infamous 75 all out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, they struggled on a pitch with swing and bounce to be 8/6.
On pitch number four, which looked a bit dry and had some bite for both spinners and pacers, DC found themselves at 69/5 in 11 overs. In both of the aforementioned games, early wickets changed their strategy of impact player usage – from being a tactical instrument, it was now a rescue mechanism to get a respectable total on board.
