Delhi Capitals won a point in the Premier League of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Sunrisers Hyderabad, as all of the second innings were washed on Monday. However, the party led by Axar Patel would be happy to win a point from a match they could not comprehend since the first wholesale. Many of them were surprised to decide to open with DC Karun Nair and Faf du Plessis. SRH captain Pat Cummins kept Nair behind the first ball of the game and his tourists immediately regretted it.
Former Chennai Super Kings versatile Shane Watson admitted that DC was amazed by the decision to change the opening combinations of DC once again. Nair, including Nair, has now opened 5 different players for Delhi franchise this season – Kl Rahul, Faf du Plessis, Abhishek Porel and Jake Fraser -mcgurk.
“There was nothing simple as changing the opening combination randomly-there was no reason. I was really surprised. When I saw that Karun Nair went out to open it with Faf du Plessis, I fell out of my chair. This movement didn't make sense,” Watson Star Sports said.
In the old Australian versatile Delhi camp, too much 'overpting' continues. He even questioned the lack of clarity in the roles, especially after the call of brave Karun Nair against this recoil against SRH.
“Whatever the thought in the Delhi Capitals camp, I think they understood it completely. When you start to straighten and change such positions, show that there is no clarity in roles. Even if players do not consciously think, such decisions can predict them second.”
Delhi is currently 5th in the score table, 6 wins in 11 games. The names of 13 points, franchise, playoffs to close a place to close the remaining 3 matches need to win.
