It was the Delhi Capitals' 6th defeat in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. In the last five matches, they suffered four defeats, confirming only one win. After the match, it was another harsh moment for the DC skipper Axar Patel as he had to hold the mic to explain the match, and where they lost their grip against the Chennai Super Kings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Later, the skipper himself admitted that because of the pitch, the batters face difficulties in rotating strike and protecting the wickets as well. In the second innings, CSK also lost a couple of early wickets in their run chase, but Sanju Samson was there in the middle to confirm the win.

Axar Patel explains why they lost against CSK
“Obviously, the way the wicket was playing in the first innings, I felt that yes, 155 was a good score. But since we were playing with eight batters, I felt we were about 10-15 runs short. (on the pitch) I feel it got a little better, but I think the difference was made by the set batter. When a batter is well set, it feels like there is nothing in the pitch, but I still feel there was something in it,” Axar Patel said after the match.
