Axar Patel
The Delhi Capitals think-tank of Ricky Ponting and Sourav Gangly along with captain David Warner were at the receiving end from fans on social media and critics alike for holding back in-form batter Axar Patel in their narrow nine-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Kotla on Sunday night.
There is little doubt that they blundered by sending struggling batters Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg and Sarfaraz Khan ahead of Axar. By the time the southpaw came to bat at No. 7 the asking rate had spiraled and there was immense pressure on him. Axar did try his best by collecting a quick, unbeaten 29 from just 14 balls, but a win remained elusive.
