We had the game in the bag: Axar Patel reflects on DC's first loss in IPL 2025
After four consecutive wins in a row, Delhi Capitals suffered their first defeat of the season against Mumbai Indians on April 13. However, at one point, DC were looking to win this match as long as Karun Nair was batting but the things changed after his dismissal. After the match, DC skipper Axar Patel reflected on his teams’ first loss in IPL 2025.
“We had the game in the bag. Some soft dismissals and bad shots in the middle order. You can't leave it to the batters in the lower order everytime. Don't need to overthink, just one of those days. Was happy at the halfway stage. The ball was stopping initially but it got better. And then dew helped us further. Out of our three spinners, two can bowl in powerplay and death as well. Kuldeep is bowling unbelievably well. Need to forget this game from a batting point of view,” Axar Patel said at the post-match presentation.
