Former India cricketer Dodda Ganesh criticizes Delhi Capitals’ team selection in IPL 2026 chennai super kings Tuesday.after captain Axar Patel After electing to bat, Delhi Capitals managed to score 69 runs in 5 overs in 11 overs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Sameer Rizvi, who scored 40 not out, while Tristan Stubbs, who scored 38, added 65 to help the team reach 155 runs in seven games.Ganesh questioned the team management and Axar’s decision to X. He pointed out that players like Prithvi Shaw, Abhishek Porel and David Miller were missing from the starting XI. He also questioned whether the decisions made by the team were working properly.“There is a lot of Indian batting talent in the Delhi camp. They can easily start with Shaw/Rana/Porel and KL and have Miller in the middle. Instead, the Talents used Nissanka over the top and dropped Miller. Tell me, how can this be a serious cricket team? ” Ganesh wrote on X.

Delhi’s problems started early when opener Pathum Nissanka was dismissed for 19 off 15 balls after failing to clear the center fielder off Mukesh Choudhary’s slow delivery.KL Rahul took 12 off 13 balls before getting out while trying to take a shot from Akeal Hosein, only to have it caught by Chennai skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad.Delhi posted 37 for two in the powerplay, with Hussain bowling several overs, including the one that removed Rahul.Soon after, Axar Patel was dismissed and he caught Gurjapneet Singh’s cover fielder to take the team to 69 for five.Stubbs and Rizvi hit some sixes during their partnership, but early failures meant Delhi ended up with 155 for seven, which proved to be insufficient.CSK chased the target in just 17.3 overs and won the match comfortably by 8 wickets.
