Delhi Capitals captain David Warner is coming under increasing pressure after his team's losing start to the season stretched to four matches to sit bottom of the Indian Premier League table.
David Warner is under fire in the Indian Premier League after the Australian's Delhi Capitals lost for a fourth time in as many matches and sit bottom of the pile.
Delhi Capitals on Tuesday saw two very contrasting half-centuries in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 game against Mumbai Indians. While Dc vice-captain Axar Patel scored his maiden IPL fifty in just 22 balls, Dc skipper scored his 58th half-century in the league in 43 balls. Ultimately, Warner fell on 51 off 47 balls as Delhi were all out for 172. Several experts criticised Warner for his slow knock. There was another strange aspect during Warner's innings. The left-handed opener changed his stance to a right-handed one in the eighth over while facing MI's Hrithik Shokeen.
Eyeing their first win of the season, the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals take on Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. DC lost to Lucknow Super Giants by 50 runs in their first game, before going down against Gujarat Titans at home earlier this week. Already without the services of Rishabh Pant, DC will miss the presence of star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh who has flown back to Australia for a week for his wedding. DC's batting has been battered and bruised by raw pace in back-to-back matches, which is likely to find some breathing space on a featherbed in Guwahati.
Following his side's first home game at Arun Jaitley Stadium in four years, Delhi Capitals vice-captain Axar Patel said that he told the team's regular skipper Rishabh Pant, currently recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident last year, that the one-handed-six he hit was for him and it was great to meet the wicketkeeper-batter in the dressing room. Axar also expressed hope that Pant recovers soon so that they can both hit one-handed shots together.
Vice-captain Axar Patel is of the opinion that Delhi Capitals shouldn't be tinkering with too many aspects of their overall game despite twin defeats as it is just a matter of time before things start falling in place. DC went down to Lucknow Super Giants in their opener by 50 runs before being outplayed by defending champions Gujarat Giants by six wickets on Tuesday. Axar added that the Delhi side will take some time to gel together as a unit.
The David Warner-led Delhi Capitals lost their second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season. Having put a total of 162 runs on the board, the hosts didn't do much with the ball to prevent Hardik Pandya's side from going across the line. It was Sai Sudarshan and David Miller whose blitzkrieg guided the Titans to a 6-wicket win on Tuesday. However, many wondered if Warner's call to not bowl Axar Patel backfired. In the post-match presentation ceremony, Warner was asked about this decision of his.
Delhi Capitals are set to play their first home match in Indian Premier League 2023 against Gujarat Titans at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday. Delhi Capitals' regular skipper Rishabh Pant will support his team playing their first home match from the stands as he is not playing this season due to injuries he sustained in the car accident that he met with last year. Ahead of their clash against defending champions Gujarat Titans, the Delhi Capitals squad sent a special heartfelt message to Pant in a video posted by the IPL Twitter handle.
