Patchy run: DC's diminishing returns
The Morning Standard
|May 06, 2025
A little over three weeks ago, things were looking rosy for Delhi Capitals (DC). The Axar Patel-led side had just pulled off a thrilling victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, their fourth scalp in as many games of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League.

Incidentally, it was the first time DC had won their first four games in a season in the history of the competition.
