Axar Patel admits batting collapse cost Delhi Capitals against Kolkata Knight Riders
Axar Patel admitted Delhi Capitals’ batting collapse proved costly in their eight-wicket loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026.
DC slumped from 74/1 to 89/5 on a spin-friendly surface, eventually posting 142/8, which KKR chased with ease thanks to Finn Allen’s unbeaten century. Axar said losing five wickets in quick succession shifted momentum and exposed a recurring issue for the side. He also acknowledged that Delhi’s spinners made crucial errors, conceding 102 runs in nine overs.
With playoff hopes fading, Axar stressed the need for better game awareness and stronger partnerships under pressure.
