Delhi Capitals' captain, Axar Patel, is facing an uphill battle in the IPL 2026 as his batting troubles persist, landing him in the unwanted record books. With the second-worst captain's average in the history of the league, Axar Patel's struggles at the crease have become a cause for concern for the team. His dismal strike-rate only adds to the woes of Delhi Capitals, who are navigating a challenging season. In a recent match against KKR, Axar Patel's woes were further highlighted as KKR's spinners effectively stifled Delhi's batting lineup, ultimately leading to a disappointing batting collapse. The pressure on Axar Patel as both a captain and a batsman is mounting, and it remains to be seen how he will navigate through this tough phase and lead Delhi Capitals to victory in the remaining matches of the season.
