Aaron Finch expressed bewilderment at Delhi Capitals’ decision to only use Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav for a total of four overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Abhishek Sharma’s explosive innings of 135 left Finch and others questioning the skipper’s tactics, especially considering that part-time spinner Nitish Rana bowled his full quota of overs. Finch criticized Axar’s defensive mindset and lack of trust in his own abilities, highlighting the importance of using key players effectively in pressure situations. Despite Delhi Capitals’ struggles in the IPL 2026 campaign, Finch believes that a change in approach and mindset from the captain could make a significant difference in the team’s performance. Finch emphasized the need for bowlers to back themselves under pressure and execute their plans effectively, regardless of occasional missteps in execution. Overall, Finch’s comments shed light on the strategic and tactical challenges faced by Delhi Capitals and the importance of strong leadership in driving the team’s success.
