Venugopal Rao rues poor form of Axar, Kuldeep as DC near IPL 2026 exit

4 min readUpdated: May 9, 2026 07:19 AM IST “Eighteen years, obviously, it hurts.” ​Delhi Capitals director of cricket Venugopala Rao has endured a lean run with the franchise as a player a decade ago. It was the Daredevils back then, when Rao was part of a squad that bagged the wooden spoon twice between 2011 and 2013. ​A stinging eight-wicket loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday, a fifth in succession at home, put the Capitals all but out of Playoffs contention, extending the wait for the elusive title by another season. ​“I think today also, when we got a good start, we couldn’t capitalise. In this kind of tournament, you can’t miss those patches. Eighteen years, obviously, it hurts. Seriously, when you look back, when I played during my days, I always wanted to win from the Daredevils’ time to now. It’s a learning process for me. Coming into the administration part, I’m still learning a lot of things,” said Rao, who took over the role with the franchise last year. ​While …

KKR have jumped up to seventh with this win, exchanging places with DC themselves. They are now on nine points in 10 matches, trailing fourth-placed Rajasthan Royals by three points. DC are on eight in 11 games and in arguably deep water with respect to the race for the playoffs. The only team to have played as many games as them are top-ranked Sunrisers Hyderabad and so DC could yet sink even further in the points table if Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants win their next matches.

Allen’s ton sees DC sink to another loss

Allen’s ton sees DC sink to another loss

Published by Parlour News

New Delhi: It’s rare to see a century in a low-scoring match but Finn Allen struck an unbeaten 101 off 47 deliveries, helping the Kolkata Knight Riders register their fourth win on the trot. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive loss. Finn Allen of Kolkata Knight Riders. (Sanchit Khanna/HT) The Feroz Shah Kotla wicket has sprung many surprises throughout the season: one day it was a belter where over 520 runs were scored, another day it was a sluggish surface that gripped, or it resembled the first session of a Test match with significant movement. On Friday, DC set KKR a mere 148-run target and it could be argued that they once again failed to come to terms with the pitch. Spin. Slow. Stump to stump — the Kolkata spinners had received the memo early. It wasn’t a minefield but the Delhi batters struggled to apply themselves. This is exactly what Allen did en route to his century as he led Kolkata Knight Riders to an eight-wicket win. Allen’s innings, a …

2 min readUpdated: May 8, 2026 10:56 PM IST Finn Allen smashed his way to his first Indian Premier League century as he powered Kolkata Knight Riders to their fourth consecutive victory. KKR beat Delhi Capitals by eight wickets as Allen’s unbeaten 100 in 47 balls helped them chase down a target of 143 with 34 balls to spare. Allen had found the going difficult for much of the early part of his innings, dragging himself to 18 in 20 balls. However, the Kiwi batsman then smashed as many as 10 sixes and five fours to get to the mark. Earlier, KKR’s spinners choked the life out of the DC batters as the hosts dragged themselves to a score of 142/8 in 20 overs. KKR had as many as five different wicket-takers. Anukul Roy and Kartik Tyagi took two each while Vaibhav Arora, Sunil Narine and Cameron Green got solitary wickets. Narine was the star of the show despite having only one wicket, conceding just 17 runs in his four overs. AS IT HAPPENED | …

Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) IPL 2026 Playing 11 Today Match, Squad, Players List: In a must-win clash for both sides in the Indian Premier League 2026, the Delhi Capitals host the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday. Delhi’s season has gone from bad to worse, having lost six of their last eight matches. The side began with two back-to-back wins to open their IPL 2026 campaign but now finds itself stranded in seventh place on the points table with 8 points from 10 matches. Their performance at home has been especially demoralising. After winning their opening fixture at the Kotla, the Capitals have lost four straight home games. While KL Rahul has been in fantastic form at times for Delhi, the inconsistency of the collective batting unit has cost them dearly. Skipper Axar Patel has also been out of form and has failed miserably with the bat this season. Delhi could look to someone like Abishek Porel in the top order. The wicketkeeper-batter has …

DC vs KKR Synopsis: Sunil Narine shines with bat, ball and on the field as visitors prolong DC’s horrid home run Perhaps the only reprieve for the Delhi Capitals (DC), after succumbing to a tame 14-run defeat at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) here on Monday, is that they only have one remaining fixture at their traditional home patch. Three defeats, each from winnable positions, and only one victory, via a last-minute Super Over finish, in New Delhi has exposed more than a few problems for this side. Despite a potent spin attack, their batters themselves struggle to unleash in the middle overs against spin. KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav, both of whom started the tournament expertly but have now tailored off at the worst point of time. And their pacers are failing to contain the runs at important junctures. All this has combined to make them struggle at the Kotla. Story continues below this ad With a brilliant all-round display with bat, ball, and in the field, Sunil …

IPL Today Match, Points Table 2025, Orange Cap, Purple Cap, DC vs KKR Team Predicted Playing 11 Live Updates: Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns in their first and only meeting of the season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi at a crucial juncture in the league with every lost point proving to be fatal in the run to the Playoffs. With teams around them slowly picking up steam in the race, both DC and KKR cannot avoid any slip-ups. The equations are pretty much tougher for Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata, who are on seventh place with seven points. The slower turners, uncharacteristic of the Kotla tracks, have hampered Delhi a little bit in their home games. Axar Patel’s men have found it hard to manoeuvre the middle-overs despite posing a strong assortment of hitters and it will be interesting to see how they counter the spin attack of KKR, comprising Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine.

IPL Today Match, DC vs KKR Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Cricket Score Streaming Online: Match No 48 of the Indian Premier league promises a thrilling encounter as Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals face off against Ajinkya Rahane’s Kolkata Knight Riders for the first time this season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday. Slow pitches have been frequent at the high-scoring venue and the Capitals have sort of suffered partly because of this devious nature of the strips. The pitch in Arun Jaitley Stadium has always been favourable to the batters. The high-scoring ground has witnessed totals ranging between 190-200 being scored consistently due to the dimensions of the ground, which is quite small in size. Hence, ideally, winning the toss and batting first would be to the advantage of teams. However, the catch is not to over-attack in the first innings as has been evidenced in the last two matches here. Delhi will be hoping they aren’t served another slow turner.

IPL 2025, DC vs KKR Predicted Playing 11 Today Match, Full Squad: Delhi Capitals take on Kolkata Knight Riders in a high-octane clash of the Indian Premier League 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday as the hosts seek to get back to their winning track after a 6-wicket defeat against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. While DC are fourth on the IPL 2025 points table and marching on with impressive form, reigning Champions led by Ajinkya Rahane, are placed 7th and will need to bounce back from a set of back-to-back defeats. DC are likely to continue with 33-year-old Dushmantha Chameera’s inclusion in the playing XI, who took Virat Kohli’s wicket and bowled a tight spell against RCB; however, he couldn’t drag the team to victory against RCB. On the other hand, KKR are expected to stick with their playing XI, and use their strategic substitute to mix things up to find a winning formula.

IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals hope Kotla pitch isn’t slow turner against KKR | Ipl News

Published by Webster

In their six-wicket loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Sunday, Delhi Capitals (DC) had to contain a sluggish, two-paced surface with plenty of turn on offer, a far cry from the batting paradise that their traditional home patch at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground was last year. 2151 runs were belted in five games in New Delhi in the 2024 season at an average strike rate of 179.39. In the three games there so far this year, despite the tiny boundaries, scoring has been contained by the spinners – not only through the smarts of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, but also bringing the likes of Vipraj Nigam and Karn Sharma into play. Call the correction a side-effect of the reversal of the ban on using saliva on the ball, allowing crucial reverse swing at the death, and a general variety in the kind of wickets that most IPL grounds have seen this year. But so far, games at the Kotla are shedding the tag of being all-out run fests. Story continues below …
