Watch the best moments and top performers from CSK vs DC IPL 2026 as Sanju Samson delivers a stunning unbeaten century and Ayush Mhatre shines with a brilliant fifty
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. The incident occurred in the 19th over when umpire denied Tristan Stubbs' request to change his wet gloves, leading to a heated dispute.

Gujarat Titans skipper Shubman Gill has recovered from the muscle spasm that forced him to miss the previous game and will take the field against Delhi Capitals in the IPL here on Wednesday. Gill's opening partner Sai Sudharsan confirmed that the former is fit to play. "He is absolutely fine and will play," said Sudharsan on the eve of the game. Titans have been tagged as a top heavy batting side. The middle order in the last game was unable to do the job after the launch pad provided by Sudharsan. The left-hander said the team firmly believes in the middle order comprising Washington Sundar and Glenn Phillips. "If someone from the top three batters plays longer, it's always a great thing for the team. We believe in our middle order. This is the team which played last year and we qualified. So it's just two games and I and the whole team believes that our middle order will win games," he said. The way T20 cricket is going, Sudharsan feels one has to evolve as a batter every six .
Delhi Capitals have won their first two games without Mitchell Starc but bowling coach Munaf Patel wants his pace spearhead to link up with the squad at the earliest as there is "no bigger bowler than him in the IPL". With what Starc brings to the table, former India pacer Munaf said the Australian can only be compared to Jasprit Bumrah.

"We have won two games so it has not been felt," Munai said on a lighter note. "If we don't do well, it depends. He is one of the best in the world. There is no bigger bowler in the IPL than Starc. Bumrah is the only one I can think of. He has so much experience, he swings at 140kmph plus with the new ball. I follow up with the team every day. Cricket Australia will update us. We need him as our main bowler," said Munaf. At DC, Munaf is
