The 48th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings has sparked major debate among fans and experts. After winning the toss, DC decided to bat first despite rain affecting conditions in Delhi — a decision that has raised serious questions about captain Axar Patel’s game awareness and leadership.
