Axar Patel Under Fire: Finch Questions Captaincy After DC's Defeat
Aaron Finch criticises Axar's decision-making in crucial IPL clash against SRH.
Hold onto your hats, Delhi Capitals fans! Aaron Finch has thrown some serious shade at Axar Patel, questioning his captaincy after a shocking bowling decision against Sunrisers Hyderabad. In a match where spin was king, Axar and Kuldeep Yadav bowled just four overs combined while part-timer Nitish Rana took his full quota. What gives?
Finch didn't hold back, saying, "The fact that he doesn't trust himself to execute under pressure... that says more about his attitude than anything else." Ouch! With Abhishek Sharma smashing a blistering 135*, leaving out your premier spinners in favour of part-timers is a bold move, but was it the right call?
As DC floundered to a 47-run defeat, the strategy left experts and fans scratching their heads. Axar's reluctance to bowl against left-handers like Sharma raises serious questions about his confidence as a captain. Are the Capitals’ tactics costing them crucial matches?
With IPL 2026 heating up, all eyes will be on whether Axar can bounce back and trust his game. Can he reclaim his mojo in the next match?
