Axar Patel’s social media post triggers backlash after heavy defeat
Axar Patel and the Delhi Capitals squad have come under criticism from fans after the captain shared a video on Snapchat. In the clip, Patel was seen having a light-hearted conversation with teammates Sameer Rizvi and Rehan Ahmed on the team bus. The video quickly went viral on social media, with many fans questioning its timing after DC’s poor performance.
The reaction comes after the Delhi Capitals were bowled out for just 75 runs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026. Fans felt the casual tone of the video was not appropriate given the heavy defeat, leading to strong criticism online.
In the video, Axar Patel is seen interacting with Rizvi and Rehan Ahmed, who recently joined the Delhi Capitals as replacements for Ben Duckett. Since Rehan Ahmed does not speak Hindi, Rizvi was seen communicating with him in English. When asked about his experience so far, Ahmed said he had seen both extremes of the game, mentioning scores of 264 and 75 all out, which made Axar Patel and Rizvi laugh during the conversation.
Delhi Capitals collapse for just 75 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Delhi Capitals suffered a major batting collapse as they were bowled out for just 75 runs by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2026 match on Saturday. After a heavy defeat to the Punjab Kings in their previous game, DC carried visible pressure into this contest, and the impact was clearly seen in their performance.
The Axar Patel-led franchise was in deep trouble early, slipping to 8/6 within the first four overs and nearly on track to register one of the lowest totals in IPL history. On a tricky home pitch, the RCB new-ball attack of Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar completely dominated the batting unit, sharing wickets and building constant pressure. Hazlewood also dismissed Sameer Rizvi, while Bhuvneshwar removed key batters, including Tristan Stubbs and captain Axar Patel.
Delhi’s innings never recovered and ended at 75 all out, with only Abhishek Porel showing some resistance. He scored a composed 30 off 33 balls and tried to hold the innings together with brief support from David Miller, Kyle Jamieson, and Kuldeep Yadav. However, the lack of partnerships meant DC collapsed well short of a competitive total.
In response, RCB chased the target comfortably. Jacob Bethell gave a quick start with 20 off 11 balls, while Devdutt Padikkal scored a fast 34 off 13 deliveries. Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 23 off 15 balls, hitting the winning runs and guiding RCB to an easy eight-wicket victory. His knock also took him past 9000 IPL runs, marking a major milestone in the match.
Fans react angrily as the post goes viral online
