Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao said losing four wickets in as many overs proved to be the turning point as they went down by 23 runs to Chennai Super Kings in their IPL match here. Chasing 213 to win, DC were placed 61 for no loss in 4.5 overs but lost the wickets of KL Rahul (18), Pathum Nissanka (41), Axar Patel (1) and Sameer Rizvi (6) to slip to 76 for 4 in 8 overs on Saturday. "I think after seeing this second inning's batting, there was a bit of due there. I felt losing four wickets in four overs was the turning point. In this format, always felt that back-to-back wickets, it's always cause for the team," Rao told reporters. DC were also sloppy in the field as they missed a run-out of Ayush Mhatre and dropped a catch of Sanju Samson, who made them pay by scoring a 56-ball 115. "It happens. It's a long tournament, we will have one or two bad games. In the first three games, we fielded well. One-off game; after the strategic timeout, we missed a run-out and ga
Delhi Capitals batter Nitish Rana has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee for an intense altercation with the fourth umpire during their Indian Premier League match against Chennai Super Kings here.

Chennai Super Kings bowling coach Eric Simons said three successive defeats did not dent the side's spirit but admitted the players were "tired of losing" as the five-time champions finally opened their account in IPL 2026. CSK snapped their losing streak with a commanding 23-run victory over Delhi Capitals here on Saturday night. "The boys really were desperate to win this one today. I think we were tired of losing after losing three in a row," Simons told reporters after CSK bowled out DC for 189. "The mood in the changing room tonight is obviously really good, but it never really dropped. I think people looked at the RCB game and thought, oh, we were a long way behind. We didn't think we were a long way behind. "In this tournament, you need to get on the roll and you need to get the positivity going There's a lot of positive to be around the camp after a win like this but even leading into it, the practices have been good, the attitudes have been good."

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming on Friday rejected suggestions that he is struggling to keep pace with the rapidly evolving IPL, asserting that he remains very much in touch with the modern T20 game despite recent setbacks. Addressing criticism following inconsistent performances this IPL season, Fleming acknowledged that results dictate perception but maintained that scrutiny is part of the role. "Criticism is fair when you don't do well," he said, while pointing out that his year-round involvement in coaching and player auctions across competitions keeps him closely aligned with global T20 trends. "Look, I'm coaching throughout the year and two other competitions, and I'm doing auctions across a lot of players. So it's not that I just turn off and then come to the IPL without an idea of where the game is going. "In fact, it's the other way. I probably never spent more time studying T20 cricket around players around the world, just to service the other teams as well
