Delhi Capitals faced another setback in the IPL 2026 season with a defeat against Chennai Super Kings. Despite deciding to bat first, Delhi could only manage 155/7 in 20 overs. The highlight was a 65-run partnership between Tristan Stubbs and Sameer Rizvi. However, it was not enough as Sanju Samson’s brilliance led CSK to victory. Axar Patel admitted that their batting performance was inadequate, falling short by 10-15 runs. He emphasized the importance of set batters in challenging conditions. Axar expressed disappointment in Kuldeep Yadav’s ineffective bowling. With just 8 points in 10 matches, Delhi Capitals are in seventh place and must win all remaining games to have a chance at the playoffs. Axar stressed the need for a clear mindset and determination for the upcoming matches. The team will face Kolkata Knight Riders next on May 8.
