No capital benefit for Delhi: Poor strategic call of assistant employees, dipped in bowling of Captain Axar Patel

The IPL title has now removed Delhi’s capitals for 18 sessions, and it would not be surprising if the script is repeated in its 19th season. The capitals of Delhi have often not more than losing their IPL season on the auction table, when Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly carried forward a quality side. Rishabh Pant’s unfortunate accident created a void in the 2023 season and since then, things have once again boiled. Management swapping of GMR (as per the agreement) from JSW also meant that the new coaching staff made by Hemang Badani and Venugopal Rao in the headlines had come up with new philosophy and got rid of pants before the auction.

Partha Jindal, one of the co-owners of DC spoke to words when he said that many aspects would require “introspection”.

“Sorry for fans of all Delhi capitals – as you too, I am also restarting from the second half of the season. What started is very well ended. There are positivity to take from this campaign, but now everyone has been focused on the next game that we need to win.

Jindal wrote on ‘X’, “Post the season, many aspects will require a lot of introspection.”

But it would be a high time that both Jindal and GMR head Honcho Kiran Grandy would need to sit on the table and accept that the team is not a practical solution at one time.

Anyone can bet on their last shirt that Venugopal Rao, Badani and Munaf Patel will not be seen anywhere after the 2026 season – even if they remain with them.

While the coaching staff of the team can be selected that the release of pants was a prudent call, which was watching his devastating show for LSG after a record fee of Rs 27 crore, but KL Rahul was not very objective to get for half the price as Indian test experts could hardly win any game where the pressure factor was high.

Delhi’s capitals, first Delhi Daredevils, on the auction table, have not found it wrong and therefore, most of the weather, they fail to qualify for the play-off.

This year, the beginning had surprised everyone and everyone. Half of the way, he was in a position of a pole winning five out of five of his first six matches, but everything went to the Hivire with a magical delivery from Mitchell Santner, which lost the conspiracy by Karun Nair and DC.

Feroz Shah, the biggest factor for DC, will lose four of his five domestic sports in Kotla, a track that cannot be seen properly by the All India Coaching Staff of Venu, Badani and Munaf.

Trio was an assistant employee who directed Dubai Capital for his first ILT20 title, but removed Ricky Ponting (whose PBKS team liked the best), was a very poor call by management.

If someone uses a football parliar, the coaches fit for the ‘Championship’ (English Second Division), they are given the charge of an elite premiere side. Handling the ILT20 team is very different from the management of the IPL team.

There was no clue of Troika what kind of combination in Kotla. It is not that he had a lot of options to maneuver and beyond five foreigners, being out of Jake Fraser McGark, he had not a reliable sixth option to fall back.

Why was the second largest run-song Abishek Porl (301 runs) for DC, which fell down despite starting? This begs an answer.

People are at the end of their Wits how a team can lose domestic games continuously. Even the only match he won was a brilliant 20th and later on the bowler by Mitchell Starc on the super over, which did not return after the IPL’s one week’s suspension.

This match against Rajasthan Royals was as good as it was lost.

Ditto for the initial game in Vijag where Ashutosh Sharma and Vipraj Nigam pulled a successor against LSG.

And the way things were going on, the Dharamasla game was being clearly dominated by Roseb Kings, who had scored anything between 220 and 240, the innings was complete due to the Pakistan drone attack.

Between the coaching trio, Badani has some lineage that is working with Sunrisers Hyderabad, but the market will promise to all of them with Indian coaches that there is not much to write a house.

The IPL circuit was a mbat that how the director of Cricket Venugopal’s younger brother Dnyaneshwar Rao was planted as a fielding coach, even when DC already had a foreign fielding coach.

DC had some good performances, but no extraordinary outings.

Rahul was once again on a 500-run plus season and a decent strike of more than 148.

But like earlier years with other franchisees, Rahul’s run gave beef to his figures, but not of the team.

His century was a good knock against Gujarat Titans, but still the lost runs in the powerplay cannot be ignored.

Rahul is a great player, but T20 Grammar has made a sea change nor was he good during a big pursuit nor when DC needed to establish big yoga.

The biggest disappointment is certainly captain Axar Patel and in this version, he has a large extent in his bowling form.

Five wickets out of 12 games and unfortunately are not available on a Wankhed track, where Michel Santner worked, his magic did not help him.

For DC, this season certainly looked without a plan. Until the individuals won the game, they looked good, but beyond this it was the same old saga.
