Delhi Capitals' captain Axar Patel has been criticised by Mohammad Kaif for publicly blaming teammate Kuldeep Yadav for the team's struggles in IPL 2026. Despite a recent win over Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals remain under pressure with 7 losses in 12 matches. Kaif argued that experienced captains should avoid singling out players publicly, especially those with proven records like Kuldeep. Axar had spoken out after a loss to Chennai Super Kings, prompting Kaif's response on his YouTube channel. Kaif highlighted Kuldeep's consistency for both Delhi and India, urging team issues to be handled internally. Axar led by example in the win against Punjab Kings with a captain's knock, praising his team's character and bench strength. The incident raises questions about the team's internal dynamics amidst their playoff push.

Madhav Tiwari reflected on his all-round performance, contributing to the win.
