Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth has slammed Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel, raising concerns over his poor form in the Indian Premier League 2026. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Srikkanth shared how Axar has failed to perform with both bat and ball this season as well.

“He hasn’t done anything with the bat in a long time. Even as an all-rounder and captain, it’s been ages since he has done anything. When was the last time he did anything deadly with bat or ball? How can the team come up if this is the case?” said Srikkanth.

Speaking on DC’s batting concerns, he also commented on Tristan Stubbs, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, and David Miller, blaming them for DC’s struggles this season in the IPL.

“It’s been ages since Tristan Stubbs scored something substantial. Nitish Rana is a gone case when you bounce him. Sameer Rizvi struggles against fast or medium-fast bowling at the start of his innings. If he gets set after smashing some spinner for 20, he’ll play well then even against pacers. Miller has also done nothing impactful,” he further added.

Against RCB, DC were at 8/6 within the first four overs of the game. But it was a valuable knock from Abishek Porel (30 in 33 balls, with three fours), Miller (19) and Kyle Jamieson (12) that helped them with a fighting total as well. In reply, RCB reached the target with Devdutt Padikkal (35*), Virat Kohli (23*) and Jacob Bethell guiding them as well.
