Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel expressed deep frustration during his post-match interview today, April 27, 2026, after his team suffered a crushing 9-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Axar was blunt about his team's performance, stating they did not support their bowlers and made too many mistakes to merit a win. He noted the surface was flat and provided little help, but emphasized that a professional bowling unit must find ways to adapt. The captain pinpointed costly fielding errors and missed opportunities as the primary reasons for the one-sided result.

He urged the middle order and bowling unit to take more accountability, remarking that the team cannot rely on lower-order heroics every time. He admitted the team was in "disbelief" after losing 6 wickets for just 13 runs in the powerplay. Patel noted how "mad" cricket can be going from their highest team total to one of their lowest in just a few days.

“Even I don't know what happened,” Patel remarked. “That's why they say you have to be on your toes in cricket. We have to move on from this match. From today's point of view you can say it did effect, but you can look back, if the catches were taken or had we taken the single against GT, then momentum would have been with us.” 

 The game is such that there is no room for ifs and buts. You have to be positive, you had a bad day and take the positives from the last 5-6 games. I wasn't surprised, they are world class bowlers, they swing it every ground, but if our openers or top order had played them out then the result might have been different.”
