Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani is hoping that premier spinner Kuldeep Yadav can regain his top form as the team’s playoff chances are in jeopardy after a loss to Chennai Super Kings. In the match, Kuldeep was hit for three sixes by Sanju Samson, adding pressure on DC as they defended a modest total of 155. Despite being brought in to make a breakthrough, Kuldeep struggled and CSK easily chased down the target.
Kuldeep’s performance in this IPL season has been disappointing, with his economy rate exceeding 10 runs per over and only seven wickets in 10 matches. Badani expressed his support for Kuldeep, emphasizing his past success and belief that he can bounce back from this rough patch. Captain Axar Patel also acknowledged the importance of Kuldeep in the team.
Kuldeep had also missed several games during the T20 World Cup 2026, raising concerns about his form and rhythm. Badani attributed Kuldeep’s struggles to a lack of peak form and pace in his bowling, but remains optimistic about his potential to return to his best.
Overall, the Delhi Capitals are standing by Kuldeep and are hopeful that he can turn things around in the remaining matches of the season. Published on May 06, 2026.
