With 5 wins in 12 matches, Delhi are barely alive in the race to the playoffs in this tournament. The team had almost been eliminated from the competition until a stunning victory over the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala kept their hopes alive.
Kuldeep was actually dropped for DC's game against Punjab Kings on Monday. That was one of the five changes that the Capitals made for that match in order to break their two-match losing streak.
After the match, Axar Patel said that he "definitely missed" Kuldeep Yadav. Against CSK, Axar took 1 wicket and conceded just 25 runs in his four overs, whereas Kuldeep Yadav bowled three wicketless overs for 34 runs, with Samson being particularly harsh on him.
"A mature captain never publicly names his players" - Mohammad Kaif
Kaif slammed Axar Patel for not being mature about Kuldeep Yadav's poor form in IPL 2026. He said that the DC skipper shouldn't have named his teammate publicly and that experienced captains should avoid naming individuals.
Kaif went on to stress that even if some players were underperforming, it does not mean that a captain should name and inadvertently shame those players.
Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav's poor form in IPL 2026
Even though all the players of the Delhi Capitals have been struggling in IPL 2026, Axar's own bowling form has been somewhat respectable.
Kuldeep Yadav, on the other hand, has fared much worse. He only has 7 wickets in 11 matches at an average of over 50 and an economy rate of 10.67 runs per over.
