IPL 2025: 13 points in 11 matches will still be out of playoffs Delhi Capitals? Former Indian gave shocking claim

Piyush chawla statement on delhi capitals: Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla commented on the dramatic decline in the form of Delhi Capitals, saying that Akshar Patel -led team, who was once a strong contender for the playoff, is now in danger of missing a place in the top four. Delhi’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad was canceled against Sunrisers Hyderabad due to heavy rains at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Monday.

Both teams shared one point each. With this result, DC ranks 5th with 13 points in 11 matches. DC still has matches against Mumbai Indians, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings and if they win all three matches and reach 19 points, they will have a great chance to make a place in the top two.

‘Experienced players have to perform well’

On the performance of Delhi Capitals, Piyush Chawla said on Jio Hotstar, “This is really going to be difficult. In his last six matches, he has lost four matches. However, the match for DC against SRH was not completely over, but based on the total score made by him, it seemed that it is moving towards the victory of SRH and the next three matches are needed. Three – and for this to happen, their experienced players will have to come forward and perform well. “

Humbled Delhi batting

Before spoiling the rain game, captain Pat Cummins (3–19) gave SRH a great start by dismissing Karun Nair on the very first ball. He took the wickets of Faf Duplesey and Abhishek Porel in his next two overs, staggering at 26/4 inside the DC Powerplay. Jaydev Unadkat dismissed KL Rahul and Cummins caught a great catch to dismiss Akshar Patel, making DC score to 47/5. Ashutosh Sharma (41) and Triston Stabs (41 not out) shared a 66 -run partnership to DC to 133/7.

Questions raised about the opening pair

Chawla commented on the top volatility, sharing his approach to DC’s frequent opening changes and selection dilemma. He said, “When KL Rahul opened, it was a forced change as Faf duplesi was injured. Rahul had to bat at number 3 or 4 to handle the innings in a state of pressure. DC has already tried six or seven combinations at the top. His biggest stake was Jake Frazer-Mackgrak, which recently did not succeed.”

On the verge of getting out of the playoffs

Chawla said, “But I think he should go to him again – if he performs well, he can give you a bang start in the powerplay. If he does not do so, it is not different from the situation already.

DC made a great start to his campaign, won five of the first six matches, but his impressive performance in the second half began to derail as he won only one of the next five matches, including the match which led to no result. DC will travel to Dharamshala on May 8 to play with Punjab Kings, while SRH will play its next match on the home ground against KKR on 10 May.
