Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel conceded that the side’s batting collapse cost them momentum in their IPL 2026 clash, where they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by eight wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, while also admitting the spinners erred on a tricky surface.

On a pitch which had dry cracks, DC slipped from 74/1 to 89/5, thanks to a spin choke from Kolkata Knight Riders, and ended up at 142/8. KKR eventually chased down the total with 34 balls to spare, thanks to Finn Allen’s unbeaten 47-ball century. Compared to KKR spinners taking 3-76 in their combined 12 overs, DC’s spinners conceded a whopping 102 runs from nine overs for just one wicket.
