IPL 2026: Toss Was Crucial, MI Were 10-15 Runs Short With The Bat, Says Deepak Chahar
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Deepak Chahar admitted the toss played a decisive role after suffering a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026, saying the side ended up 10-15 runs short with the bat on a slow black soil pitch which later became better to bat under lights at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
Suryakumar Yadav captained MI in place of an unwell Hardik Pandya and top-scored with 51 off 36 balls. But barring him, most of the other MI struggled to play their shots as they posted 162/6. Chahar himself found help from the pitch in power-play and even took out KL Rahul, but Sameer Rizvi’s 90 took DC over the line with 11 balls to spare.
“I think the pitch was really slow and the toss was crucial. I think there was a bit of moisture there. They were slow to start, and you could feel the moisture. The toss was very crucial at that time, and that’s why we were 10-15 runs short,” Chahar said in the post-match press conference.
