Axar Patel’s batting crisis is costing Delhi Capitals — and nobody knows where to bat him

Axar Patel’s batting crisis is costing Delhi Capitals — and nobody knows where to bat him

Published by Webster

Neutral pitches curated by the BCCI have stripped Delhi Capitals of any advantage at the Kotla, said head coach Hemang Badani after his team’s sixth defeat on Tuesday night — and few have felt the varying surfaces more acutely than Axar Patel. The Delhi square has produced extremes this past month. But when the Capitals batted first across the last fortnight, the captain was conspicuous by his absence. The streak of losses has stretched to four successive home matches, with the confusion around Axar’s role running through all of them. Tactical lapses and a batting order in constant flux have made a difficult season harder. When Delhi vaulted to a record 264 for two against Punjab Kings last month, Axar hadn’t turned out to bat. When they nailed a record 226-run chase against the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur last week, he aptly stayed out of the top five. When the top order was humbled by a Royal Challengers Bengaluru seam masterclass, Delhi turned to their crisis man for rearguard action. Axar tottered back with a …

2 min readUpdated: Feb 3, 2026 06:23 PM IST The Pakistan Government have announced that they will be boycotting the game against India in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 to be played at Colombo. However, what are the implications for the Pakistan cricket board if they did not play that game? Former ICC Head of Communications Sami-ul-Hasan Burney said the game will cost USD 250, and Pakistan’s annual revenue is 35.5 USD million if there were to be sanctions and was hopeful that the cost was taken into consideration. “I am sure an extensive exercise would have taken place before the government of Pakistan made that decision. As regards the sanctions or the losses you are talking about, that one match is costing USD 250 million (everything accounted for not just broadcaster’s loss),” Burney was quoted as saying to PTI. “Pakistan’s annual revenue is USD 35.5 million, so there is a big, big difference,” he added. Ever since Bangladesh put in a request to move its matches from India to Sri Lanka citing security …

How Bole Chudiyaan Ended Up Costing More Than K3G’s Whole Budget

Published by Parlour News

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham continues to be remembered as one of Bollywood’s most loved family dramas, known for its scale, emotions, and iconic performances. Over the years, several behind the scenes stories from the film have surfaced, and one of the most fascinating ones is about how the entire initial budget of the film was exhausted on just one song, Bole Chudiyaan.    Recalling the incident in a chat with Radio Nasha, Nikkhil Advani shared how budgeting worked very differently back then. “These days, people make budgets on spreadsheets. They take nearly two months to finalise them. But when we narrated the script of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham to Yash Johar, he called me to his office and asked me to write the budget. I wrote Rs 3 crore. It was approved, and we were told to begin the film.” The team jumped straight into production without lengthy planning, driven purely by passion and instinct. Talking about the chaos during the shoot of Bole Chudiyan, Nikkhil said, “Our very first set was for Bole Chudiyan. …
