Forget their behaviour It's a strategic cricketing blunder that is worrying and should be looked into. Playing a debutant instead of a proven ipl performer who took that decision against bhuvi and hazelwood. Playing state leagues and playing in IPL is a different beast. Nothing on the youngster all the best to him. Captaincy from axar has been ordinary he doesn't have the aura and leadership that a captain demands.

- Delhi Capitals are 7th on the Table - NRR is in Negative - A must Win game against RCB - Their score is 13/6 after Powerplay & this is how DC’s Coach & Captain reacting on the field infront of 50K Home fans who have shown up to support them, spending their hard earned money.

The debate is officially over: T20 isn’t "broken" for bowlers; it just demands a higher level of mastery. 🏏 ​While everyone was busy complaining about flat tracks and short boundaries after that 268-run blitz, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood just delivered a defensive masterclass at the very same venue. ​The Blueprint for Bowlers ​Today proved that relevance in the modern game isn't about pace alone—it's about discipline. Even on a small ground and a batting paradise, these two showed that if you hit the right line and length repeatedly, you can still dictate terms. ​Consistency is Key: Hitting a "good ball" repeatedly forces the batsman to take uncomfortable risks. ​Skill > Conditions: Bhuvi and Hazlewood neutralized the "flat wicket" narrative through sheer execution. ​Evolution: To stay relevant, bowlers don’t need the game to change; they need to evolve their control. ​Stop blaming the pitch and start studying the masters. The art of bowling is alive and well in T20. 🎯🔥 ​#Cricket #T20 #IPL2026 #BhuvneshwarKumar #JoshHazlewood #BowlingMasterclass #CricketAnalysis @Abhishek060722 @ashwinravi99 @CricCrazyJohns @cricketaakash @IrfanPathan @jatinsapru @mufaddal_vohra @WasimJaffer14 @vikrantgupta73 @NikhilNaz @rawatrahul9

@_cricketsparsh I have seen prithvi play first hand in Mumbai cricket he was few years junior than me when I played !! He is a special talent and made a lot of buzz in cricket circles and maidans of Mumbai !! If he was more disciplined we won't be having any discussions about him !!

I've no idea what health his game is in right now, but one thing with Prithvi Shaw (unless he's changed) is that he's more of an along-the-ground four-hitter than a big six-hitter. I think teams today prefer batters who can take the aerial route; completely understandable.

@IrfanPathan A baffling shocking decision by the team management to play a youngster with nothing against him but it was destined to fail against bhuvi and hazelwood clueless thinking !!!

We discussed during our pre show abt Prithvi Shaw & Abhishek Porel. Want to understand the thinking of not to play one of them.

If there was a game he needed to play it was this match a very important game for them !!! Can't believe he is so back in the pecking order or batting horribly in the nets to be not given a chance. To play a youngster on debut against bhuvi & hazelwood was destined for failure !!! Baffling shocking decision by the management .

No Prithvi Shaw again, despite Nissanka being dropped. Man, this new flatpitch powerplay era is match made in heaven for Don Prithvi Shaw!!

@Abhishek060722 Very well put he is talented and has to make his chances count !! Wrong option against rabada who was bowling bullets whenever there is bounce in the wicket like yesterday its better to be playing behind the wicket using the pace

The curious case of Urvil Patel: I didn’t want to criticize him, but he has to understand that you cannot bat in only one gear. Like today, he had already hit a four against Kagiso Rabada, so he should understand that rotating the strike is also important. You cannot hit a six or four on every ball. If he doesn’t learn this from the next game, I’m afraid many people will start calling him a blind slogger.

@_cricketsparsh Yes abhishek porel also would have been a good choice. I feel for the youngster ipl is a ruthless tournament and he was found against bhuvi. Baffling decision by delhi management

@omkar1419 Abhishek Porel?

The 18-year-old Sahil Parakh makes his debut tonight.

Important match for Delhi and yet another baffling decision !!! I just don't understand how can you play a debutant instead of a proven ipl player like prithvi shaw. He had off field issues he has mended his ways and now looks to be back on track why not play him ???????? Nothing against the debutant sahil all the best to him but i fear for him against bhuvi and hazelwood he is up against it !!! Am i wrong in my assessment or right ?? @Abhishek060722 @ashwinravi99 @CricCrazyJohns @cricketaakash @desimojito @IrfanPathan @jatinsapru @LoyalSachinFan @WasimJaffer14 @the_cricketest

@Pratik19331527 @Hriday1812 Then brother he has to upgrade his game !!! Need to work hard and change his game plan or approach

@omkar1419 @Hriday1812 If he doesn't gets picked in ipl, that ignited fire will be of no use as he's just be out of every possible white ball cricket scenario Ipl is the only way he can stay relevant in white ball setup

Nahi bhai. He has done near irreparable damage to his reputation as a T20 batter now. I doubt if he will get more than 10 Crores in the next auction

Jatin bhai respectfully do you really think that this formula would win them the championship. They have 4 wins out of which one was a brain fade by David Miller at Delhi 1 run win. All the other wins have come against the side who are at the bottom of the table KKR CSK LSG. They would be found out against top of the table teams !!! Also if you have a problem it's ok there can be solutions but this problem is old from the last 2 yrs playing safe and weak middle order & they did not address it in the auction !!!

While most teams bank on batting to get the 20-30 extra runs - GT back their bowlers to not concede those .. And then a quality top order doesn’t need to go hammer and tongs.. Doesn’t always work - Middle order opens a debate - But they believe in that formula and playbook - At least they have a formula - And that’s what matters ..

@KshitizCritic I Just love the Meltdown Pls pls pls provide movies which were better than dhurandhar or at least at par or stop selling this bullshit.

Dhurandhar was a Great Franchise no doubt, everything was good except the fake fans. They think that Cinema started in December 2025 and ended in April 2026, There are many better movies than dhurandhar and many will come after it. Using Dhurandhar as tool to degrade other movies which are classics is just Idiocy of the highest Level.

Another post of delusion !!! I don't know which T20 matches of Pant you are talking about. His stats for last year Ipl 2025 Total runs - 269 Matches 14 Avg 24 Strike rate 133 Out of the 269 runs the score 118 was scored in a dead rubber match. If you take out those 118 from 269 He scored 151 runs in 13 matches at an average of just 11 runs per match . Rishabh is a great guy terrific talent i would love him to get back to his old ways but for that he has to first believe that his current method is outdated then only he can improve if we praise him blindly like your post he won't improve so pls BE Careful.

🚨 Shocking News 🚨 Rishabh Pant seems unhappy with his teammates’ performances. In yesterday’s LSG vs KKR match, Pant gave his all to win it for the team, but once again, luck didn’t go his way. The pitch was very slow, making it difficult to chase. KKR managed only 155 runs while batting first, yet Lucknow failed to secure the win. Pant can’t do everything alone. The rest of the team needs to step up. Players like Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, and Mitchell Marsh have been consistently underperforming. If the top players don’t deliver, Pant can’t carry the team single-handedly. Despite the pressure, Pant played a brilliant knock. He just needs a bit of luck on his side, and all the unnecessary critics will be silenced. No matter what anyone says, Pant is one of the best T20 batsmen. He just needs the right moment and proper support.

Sir the team needs a little bit of a tweak Rahul Prithvi Rana Rizvi Stubbs Miller Axar Kuldeep Starc Chameera Natrajan Ashutosh / mukesh impact sub I would also play ashutosh in the XI and ask him to bat 4-5 to just go out there attack and be aggressive be a point of difference in the middle overs .

Time to turn the heat on @DelhiCapitals we all know how good this squad is - time to be together, time to play together and time to bring our best cricket to the @IPL - this is where our season truly begins.

@samiprajguru @LucknowIPL Sell all the batters Marsh Markaram Pooran Pant Badoni Himmat

Bigger question is DR SANIV GOENKA must be thinking should I release Rishabh Pant next season or Sell LSG itself... he must be in a fix...kaha hath maar liya 😁😁😁 @LucknowIPL #rishabhpant

Pls no Naman dhir at 3 looking at the way Surya is batting in the middle overs i would bat him at 3 Rohit Rickelton Surya Rutherford ( more dangerous if gets some time to get settled ) Hardik Tilak Jacks Ghazanfar Bosch / bolt Ashwini Kumar Bumrah Naman dhir / mohammad Izhar impact player What do you think about this

Rohit Sharma Qdk/Rickelton Naman Dhir Surya Kumar Yadav Tilak Varma Hardik Pandya Will Jacks Mayank Rawat Corbin Bosch Allah Ghazanfar Jasprit Bumrah Ashwani Kumar In absence of Santner, this looks like the best possible XII at the moment.

Best KKR XI according to me !! Allen ( more upside to him if it comes off) Rahane Rachin ravindra Green Manish Pandey experience Rinku singh Angkrish / Tejassvi Dahiya Narine Anukul Roy Tyagi Vaibhav arora Varun Chakraborty impact sub What do you think guys ? @ashwinravi99 @CricCrazyJohns @cricketaakash @IrfanPathan @mufaddal_vohra @Rajiv1841

@the_cricketest Very well said sir

Captains these days after a loss are saying this all the time that it is not about one or 2 guys but about the team but in T20s those one or two players if they play at a critical juncture like Powerplay Batters and Bowlers, can disturb the entire team even if the whole unit is not that bad. For example, take Rajasthan Royals, have incredible PP Batting and also Wkt taking PP Bowling. Just 2-3 players contributing here. And when they do what they've been doing this season, this shifts the momentum towards you very early and makes the job easy for the other guys and most importantly you can cover your weaknesses way better. T20 strategy is very outdated. A new and well-researched thought process must be adopted in T20 Strategy and we're seeing the rewards PBKS and RCB are getting. T20 Strategy is very exciting but sadly nobody cares..... #IPL2026 #LSGvsKKR

@LoyalSachinFan Had to be Marsh Mukul Markaram. If you look right handers have found it slightly easy to hit sunil narine for sixes instead of left handers I wouldn't bat any left handers against on this pitch which was turning .

Just want to know who decided to send an out of form Nicholas Pooran to bat in the Super Over against Sunil Narine. LSG coaching staff can't be this horrible 😭
