The Delhi Capitals had to let Axar Patel be their temporary captain. BCCI suspended to rishabh pant to broken the rules.. Pant broke a rule about how fast the team was playing for the third time this season, so he had to miss one match. Pant didn’t directly talk about the suspension, but he put a mysterious message on Instagram.
In the game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Delhi team lost by 47 runs. This loss probably means they won’t be in the top 4 teams anymore.
Even though both the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers have 12 points, Royal Challengers have a better score difference. This means they still have a chance if they win their last game and some other things go their way.
Delhi Team Faces Challenges, Slim Playoff Chances
Axar Patel, leading the Delhi team in the match, felt they could have performed better. They missed catching some balls, and losing four wickets early on made it difficult to catch up. Patel believed that without those early wickets, they could have aimed for a score between 160 to 170, which would have been normal. The pitch was tricky, with some balls moving quickly and others slowly.
The Delhi team faced setbacks due to two mistakes in running between bases, which harmed their chances greatly. Patel acknowledged that it’s now tough for his team to reach the top four in the league. Although he understands that anything can happen, he hasn’t dwelled on that possibility yet.
According to Patel, when key players are run out and four wickets are lost in the powerplay, it puts the team on the back foot. As an all-rounder, he realizes that his team’s chances of reaching the top four are slim. While he acknowledges that anything can happen in cricket, he hasn’t thought that far ahead yet.
