#IPL #Axar #seeks #fan #support #move #damaging #loss #RCB">IPL 2026: Axar seeks fan support as DC looks to move on from damaging loss to RCB Delhi Capitals’ (DC) forlorn skipper Axar Patel wants his team to try and move on after it suffered a nine-wicket rout at the hands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday.
On a warm evening where Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood caused mayhem under lights, DC was shot out for a paltry 75 in 16.3 overs. According to Axar, the run fest at this venue just two days ago, when Punjab Kings chased down a record 265, may have had an effect on the host’s batters.
“What happened in the last game, when we lost after scoring 264, may have had an effect. There was hesitation from the batters. Other than that, it was bad luck. The batters just kept getting out within a few balls.
“We will just have to forget this day and move on,” Axar said at the post-match press conference. “Bhuvneshwar and Hazlewood are world-class bowlers who held a good length.”
With DC’s fans expressing their anger after an abject display, the 32-year-old pleaded for support for his players. “If the fans are disheartened, the players are just as disheartened. This is the time for the fans to support the team. The players are down. At this time, it is very important for the fans to lend their support and trust the players,” he stated.
Meanwhile, RCB, with six wins in eight games, is hitting the right notes. Asked if the defending champion is the hot favourite to go all the way, Krunal Pandya said, “You can’t think too far ahead in this tournament.
“There are six more games to go in the league stage. We want to just continue doing the right things more often than not, stick to the process and look to get the desired results.”

The venue was Delhi. The format was T20. But at the start of Monday’s fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in the IPL, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood were so irresistible with the new ball that the proceedings resembled a Test match unfolding on a green deck in Dunedin.
If Bhuvneshwar teased Delhi Capitals’ batters with swing from a good length, Hazlewood tormented the opposition with the short delivery. The deadly combination broke the back of the host inside the PowerPlay, and made victory for Royal Challengers Bengaluru a matter of formality.
Both pacers scalped three wickets each in their opening spells as Capitals were incredulously reduced to eight for six in 3.5 overs, with the scores of the top six reading 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 0. The record of the lowest total in IPL history — 49 by RCB against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017 — was in danger for a while, but Abishek Porel and David Miller put together 35 for the seventh wicket to avert that ignominy.
Eventually, Hazlewood finished with figures of 3.3-0-12-4 as DC folded up for 75. The defending champion took just 6.3 overs to clinch a nine-wicket win, leaving Axar Patel and Co. with a lot of soul-searching to do in the coming days.

Heightening the sense of disbelief about the evening was the fact that 529 runs had been scored for the loss of just six wickets across two innings on an adjacent pitch just 48 hours ago.
Bhuvneshwar sparked the collapse. With debutant Sahil Parakh on strike in the opening over, the 36-year-old conjured up an inswinging yorker to uproot middle stump. He would also account for Tristan Stubbs and Axar in the third over.
From the other end, Hazlewood was just as spellbinding. Off his first two balls, he dismissed K.L. Rahul and Sameer Rizvi. Rahul was hurried by a bouncer, miscuing a pull to wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma. Rizvi was enticed into a loose drive to a ball wide of off-stump.
The others crumbled predictably like a pack of cards, with Hazlewood fittingly ending the Capitals’ misery by cleaning up Porel with a yorker.
