IPL 2026: DC Making Wrong Decisions Under Pressure, Kuldeep's Poor Form A Major Concern, Says Pathan
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals' poor decision-making when under pressure and Kuldeep Yadav's dip in form have emerged as the two biggest factors behind the franchise's stuttering IPL 2026 campaign, according to former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan, who believes the side has the firepower to finish in the top four but have failed to live up to its considerable potential in the ten-team competition. With the playoff race entering its critical phase, seventh-placed DC find themselves grappling with two stubborn problems chopping and changing in team selection and a baffling inability to win at home. Delhi have used 20 players this season, joint-second most in IPL 2026 alongside Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. The chopping and changing has been most visible in the middle order, where as many as seven different batters have been tried from four to seven Tristan Stubbs (9 innings), Sameer Rizvi (7), David Miller (6), captain Axar Patel (6), Ashutosh Sharma (3), Karun Nair (1) and Abishek Porel (1) - leaving little room for role clarity or settled batting combinations. I think, last year as well as this year, Delhi was a team that was to be a shoo-in contender for being in the top four. If you look at the players, they are very experienced and well-established players in this team. If you talk about KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc, and even Lungi Ngidi, who did well in the World Cup, we all know that his variation gives a lot of problems to the big players. If you look at Miller this season, hes also there to solve DCs issue with a lack of experience in finishing games last year. But I think that the match against the Gujarat Titans, in which they lost on the last ball, will haunt them big time because, yes, it is not easy to take responsibility for any player and say that I will win the match, and every player wants to do that. But many times you take the wrong decision under pressure, Pathan, an expert on JioHotstar's 'Champions Waali Commentary', told IANS in a virtual interaction on Thursday. The selection inconsistency was on full display in the CSK game, where Karun Nair was drafted in as a replacement for Rizvi, only for the latter to return as the impact player once the former was dismissed. Compounding the selection headache is an alarming home record DC have won just one of their five games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium this season, against the Mumbai Indians last month, and the rot stretches further back. Since IPL 2025, DC have managed only two wins in ten home games, a record that raises serious questions about their reading of home conditions. Adding another layer to their woes is DC losing all three games while batting first, while their record in chasing stands at four wins from seven attempts. Their bowling unit has been the poorest among all teams this season, claiming just 41 wickets so far at an economy rate of 10.2. All of this is something DC urgently needs to address as they prepare to face Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday evening in a bid to keep their playoff hopes alive. See, I think two things have been a big factor for Delhi Capitals - one, I think decision-making could have been better. If we talk about the last game, winning the toss, batting first, and thinking that the conditions would get better later, was an issue. Especially when the match against RCB, a few days ago, on the same ground, they were batting first and were 75 out. That day, there was a weather issue, and in this match against CSK, it also rained, and there was a possibility of the weather being inclement. So you want to chase there, and you had even won the toss too. So, a little decision-making, I think, there was a little problem in that. Then, the availability of Mitchell Starc, not being there at the start of the season, was a problem. But I think they could have used their resources better, added Pathan, who picked 29 wickets in 46 games for DC from 2011-13 IPL seasons. Add to it, Kuldeeps form has emerged as a major concern for DC this season, with the leftarm wrist spinner conceding at 10.4 runs per over, picking only seven wickets and going wicketless in five of his nine outings. His overall economy of 10.4 is the highest in any IPL season, surpassing his previous worst economy rate of 8.7 in 2019 and 2024. The left-arm wrist spinner has conceded at less than 10 runs per over in only two matches (against LSG and RCB), while in seven games, he has gone above that mark. Secondly, Kuldeep Yadav not being in form, this is a big problem for Delhi because you depend on him, right? Especially on a turning track, where there was a little help in the pitch, and if you concede runs and don't even take a wicket, then it's a matter of concern. Look, hes a very good bowler, and there are no two ways about it. But going above 10 runs per over, for any team, you would expect much better performance from your main spinner. So these are 2-3 things, in which Delhi could have been much better. If it had been the case, then maybe their team would have played according to that potential, and they would have seen better results, added Pathan. On his experience with the 'Champions Waali Commentary' - a feed aimed at Hindi-speaking audiences that features more deliberate, in-depth analysis compared to conventional commentary - Pathan said the format was allowing for richer cricketing conversations. I'm absolutely loving it. Our camaraderie, especially with our other co-commentators, is that they have different opinions, and we also have different opinions. So the viewers get a different and fresh perspective, and in comparison to the normal, conventional commentary, theres a slight difference in its pace.

IPL 2026: Kuldeep Is A Match-winner, Important To Have Him Playing Continually, Says Miller
Indian Premier League: Veteran Delhi Capitals batter David Miller on Thursday backed under-fire wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav to come good in the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, describing him as a match-winner whose presence in the playing eleven remains vital for the team despite a recent dip in form. Kuldeeps form has emerged as a major concern for DC this season, with the leftarm wrist spinner conceding at 10.4 runs per over, picking only seven wickets, and going wicketless in five of his nine outings. Kuldeeps economy rate has dipped sharply against righthand batters. While he picked nine right-handed batters' wickets at 6.7 runs per over in IPL 2025, this season he has taken six wickets at 11.1 runs per over from 21.1 overs. His overall economy of 10.4 is the highest in any IPL season, surpassing his previous worst economy rate of 8.7 in 2019 and 2024. He has conceded at less than 10 runs per over in only two matches (against LSG and RCB), while in seven games he has gone above that mark. In wins, he has eight wickets at 6.9 runs per over, but in losses, he has just two wickets at 10.7 runs per over. With someone like Kuldeep, I've always played against him, and don't like facing him. But now I'm with him in the same team and squad, and he adds so much to the team; he's a great character, and for me it's important to have those kinds of guys continually playing, because he is a match-winner, so take the good with the bad. There's been one or two games where he hasn't bowled the best that he could have bowled, but that's the same for everyone - you're not always going to be on. But he prepares really well, he's always up for the game and the battle, and he's really skilful, so bowled means if it was me playing every game, said Miller in the pre-match press conference, ahead of DCs must-win clash against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening. Addressing DC's poor fielding record this season - the side has the league's lowest catch efficiency with 64.6 percent and have shelled 17 chances so far, Miller insisted that the team has been putting in the work to improve this aspect of the game. No, there's been no conversation around that. I think we, as Delhi, have really trained really hard in the fielding department - we've put in the hard yards, as a team and individuals. For me, I love fielding, I don't bowl obviously as you all know, but for me, fielding is an attitude - it's about really making sure that you want the ball to come to you. You want to make a difference in the field, whether it's a diving catch, or an easy catch, or a run-out opportunity, always wanting to be in the game, and then generally you get into better positions. So I think maybe that could be something - I mean, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly, because everyone's different and everyone fields in different positions, and it could be lights, it could be whatever, I don't know. So I just think at the end of the day, like with our batting, bowling and fielding departments, we've just got to make sure that we're really on for the next four games, and whatever's happened in the last ten games, we take good with that, but the next four games are huge. Reflecting on the evolution of T20 batting, Miller noted that while fearless players have always existed, the modern youngster is taking the mindset to an unprecedented level. Let me start with the transformation of the game - obviously, you're seeing the youngsters coming through nowadays and playing a fearless brand. I always feel like, for a number of years now, there's been fearless batters, but nowadays, particularly, guys are coming in really early and looking to dominate from ball one, and it's wonderful to see the skills that the batters possess. Regarding his own approach in a rapidly changing landscape of T20 batting, Miller believes sticking to his core strengths is the key. In terms of scooping and playing straight and all these funky shots, I think it becomes very individual as to what your strengths are and what you prefer to do. Some guys like to be funky and change the position of the fielders through certain shots, and I suppose then conditions come into play, whether you can play it or can't play it, all these things, it's very in the air, so it's just about making those decisions along the way. But most certainly with where the game is going, the mindset and mentality around batsmen nowadays has definitely gone to another level. Someone like me - it's just about making sure that my skills and what my strengths are is to keep them really, really strong and back what has worked for a long time, trust myself in that process, and although there's a lot of things going around with where the game is moving, believing that what I have is still very much adding to the team, he explained. He further lauded his South African compatriot, Tristan Stubbs, for his mentality and versatile stroke-play. Great to have someone like Stubbo on the team as well - so enthusiastic and passionate about the game, and hugely competitive as an individual. Even if you're just throwing the ball around in the pool, he wants to beat you at that. But most certainly with where the game is going, the mindset and mentality around batsmen nowadays has definitely gone to another level. Someone like me - it's just about making sure that my skills and what my strengths are is to keep them really, really strong and back what has worked for a long time, trust myself in that process, and although there's a lot of things going around with where the game is moving, believing that what I have is still very much adding to the team, he explained. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Then in T20 cricket, he's got all the shots - the laps, reverses, straight down the ground, and the power. So he's got everything, it's just about, like everyone, trying to be more consistent, really, but hes done phenomenally well, so it's good, Miller concluded. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Varuns Ability Was Never In Doubt, Break Helped Him Bounce Back, Says Bravo
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders mentor Dwayne Bravo said the bowling unit has benefited from Varun Chakravarthys return to form, adding that his ability to pick wickets was never in doubt and that a six-day mid-season break helped the wrist-spinner to bounce back. Chakravarthy has turned his campaign around with two threewicket hauls in his last three outings. KKRs fortunes have mirrored his form - they were winless in three games in IPL 2026 when he went wicketless, but have a 31 record when he has picked two or more wickets in this season. Overall, Chakaravarthy has 10 wickets from seven innings at an economy of 8.9, including best figures of 3-14. After going wicketless in his first three matches at an economy of 11.7, he has claimed 10 wickets in his last four games at 7.3 runs per over. I think in sports, especially when you play sports, it's very resultoriented. Sometimes people get very emotional. A player like Varun, who's a worldclass spinner, just came out of the World Cup, which was also a very hectic tournament. So a break at the right time is always important. But no one ever questioned his ability because again, when you're so good, it's only a matter of time before you come back into form. The group is very supportive of him. A mental break is also very needed, especially in a tournament like IPL, where there are so many games, high pressure, and the best versus the best. It doesn't matter who you are as a player. There are so many other quality players struggling this season. I think that's the beauty of the sport. Players have to go through those moments, but eventually they will bounce back, said Bravo in the pre-match press conference, ahead of KKR facing Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening. On the availability of Matheesha Pathirana, Bravo said captain Ajinkya Rahane and head coach Abhishek Nayar will decide when he will be fielded in the season. They will always have plans to play someone like him. He is quality, but he's also someone you have to not rush back into anything. His loads are up, his bowling loads are up, and I think he's very close to playing. We leave the coach and the captain to decide that. We all want to see him playing cricket again, but we also want to make sure the timing is right, because someone like that, the type of injury that he had, you don't want to rush him. But it's good to have someone like Pathirana and me amongst the group again, because he's quality, he added. On his impression of young pacers in the KKR set-up, including Kartik Tyagi being impressive, Bravo showered rich praise on him. Kartik Tyagi is a bright prospect, and he's always someone with a lot of potential. Someone India has already had bright hopes of. For us as a bowling group, Southee and myself, we're not only with Tyagi, but with every bowler. Vaibhav is also doing a very good job, especially in the back end. That bowling requires you to be brave and skilful, but it also requires you to put in the work in the nets first. I think with our guidance, we don't allow bowlers to just bowl in the nets for bowling. We allow them to bowl with specific plans, specific field placements, and it's the only phase of the game that is very, very particular. Tyagi is someone who loves to learn. He asks a lot of questions and has a lot of energy. Sometimes we have to tell him as coaches, OK, please rest, take it easy. He says, No sir, no sir, I want to bowl, I want to bowl. But it's a lovely bunch. Umran Malik, someone working very hard as well he wants his opportunity and chance. But unfortunately, he didn't have it this season so far. But it's a group I'm very happy to be working with because they are young and energetic, and they're willing to learn, and you can see the improvement. All these guys needed was guidance, and to feel loved, and appreciated, and that's what my job is, to make sure that these guys are protected and they learn as they go along in the game. On his coaching style, with Delhi Capitals pacer Lungi Ngidi acknowledging that Bravo taught him the mastery of slower balls, the legendary West Indies all-rounder explained, I'm very handson, especially since Lungi talked about that. Everyone wants me to teach them that slower ball so thanks, Lungi. But it's one of my strengths when I used to play, and also my strength was my ability to read and understand the game. But it's a group I'm very happy to be working with because they are young and energetic, and they're willing to learn, and you can see the improvement. All these guys needed was guidance, and to feel loved, and appreciated, and that's what my job is, to make sure that these guys are protected and they learn as they go along in the game. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I do share it a lot with my bowling group. So as you can see, all these guys use the variations in games Vaibhav, Tyagi, everyone. Yesterday, I had a whole oneonone session with Pathirana because he wanted a specific one to dip. But there's more to a slower ball. The brain is the most important thing, and that's what I try to teach the younger bowling group because if they're able to think the game, I think they're all going to be better bowlers, he concluded.
