Delhi Capitals told to ‘set their house in order’ for IPL 2027 as Axar Patel faces ‘uninspiring’ captaincy tag after KKR

Meanwhile, Axar Patel’s captaincy has come under scrutiny. Since taking over last season, he has not been able to guide the side into the playoffs, and the same outcome now looks likely this year as well. The continued failure to reach the knockout stage has raised questions around his leadership and the team’s direction. With results not going their way, DC are once again left facing familiar concerns about consistency and decision-making, as another season risks ending without a playoff berth.

Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh took a sharp swipe at Axar's captaincy, in a strongly worded post, he questioned the team’s direction and called for a clearer long-term leadership vision as DC continue to search for stability at the top.
