Axar Patel's DC Drama: IPL 2025's Biggest Letdown?

Delhi Capitals kicked off IPL 2025 like a house on fire, but somewhere along the line, they turned into a complete village team. After revamping their squad and binning players like Rishabh Pant, expectations were sky-high. But Axar Patel, who stepped into the leadership role, seems to have lost the plot.

From early fireworks to stuttering performances, DC's campaign went from ‘wow’ to ‘how?’ quicker than you can say ‘pie chucker’. The squad, brimming with talent, should’ve been cruising into the playoffs, yet here we are, watching them crash harder than a dodgy nightclub DJ.

An ex-KKR star has thrown shade at Axar, calling out the inconsistency that’s plagued this team like a bad case of the yips. With a squad overhaul and all the promise in the world, it’s time for Axar to step up or risk becoming just another IPL footnote. Can he rally the troops for a comeback, or are they destined for the ‘also-ran’ list?
