Ashwin Slams Delhi Capitals for Kuldeep's Misuse

Ravichandran Ashwin's got some spicy thoughts on how the Delhi Capitals are treating Kuldeep Yadav this IPL season. After DC's nail-biting win against RCB, Ashwin took to his YouTube channel to question skipper Axar Patel's handling of the left-arm wrist spinner. Kuldeep’s been left hanging, not bowling his full quota in multiple matches, which Ashwin believes is a blunder. "Let him bowl! Even if he concedes runs, he’s your best bowler. Not using him properly is a mistake,” Ashwin fired, echoing the frustration of many fans.

The match itself was a classic, with DC pulling off a surprising win at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite the tricky conditions, the bowlers managed to restrict RCB to just 175 runs. Ashwin wasn't shy about criticising Patel’s decision to bowl first, saying, "It’s a risky choice in the afternoon heat. RCB was in a strong position, and if they’d set 190, it could have been a different story."

On a brighter note, Ashwin praised KL Rahul's explosive innings that helped seal the win, saying, "What an innings! Rahul's showing he can hit over 200 strike rate, which is fantastic for a keeper. He’s proving his versatility and strength with the bat." With these insights, the IPL 2026 season is heating up, and it’ll be interesting to see how DC responds to these critiques.
