'Dropped catches hurt us': DC’s Axar

DC’s stand-in captain drops a catch during the match against RCB in Bangalore on Sunday

A dejected stand-in skipper Axar Patel blamed below-par fielding from his men for not being able to restrict RCB to 150 and possibly blowing away chances of qualifying for the IPL play-offs after being handed a 47-run thrashing on Sunday night.


“Dropped catches hurt us. We could have restricted them to 150. Also, when you lose four wickets in the Powerplay, you are always chasing the game. 160-170 would have been a par score as the pitch was two-paced. Some [balls] were skidding, some were holding,” Axar said after the match.


DC’s poor start was also marred by  two run-outs—the first being a freak one of the team’s most impactful batter Jake Fraser-McGurk and the other of Tristan Stubbs. “When your main players are run out and you lose four in the Powerplay, you’re chasing the game,” added Axar.
