Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel credited his bowlers’ smart execution for their six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026. Exploiting helpful new-ball conditions, DC’s pacers set the tone early, restricting LSG to a modest total.
Mukesh Kumar impressed in the Powerplay, while T Natarajan and Lungi Ngidi claimed three wickets each to derail LSG’s innings. Axar highlighted the team’s awareness and planning, saying they focused on building pressure through disciplined bowling.
Chasing 142, DC stayed composed despite early setbacks, with a crucial middle-overs partnership sealing the game. Axar also praised Sameer Rizvi for stepping up and delivering under pressure.
