Delhi Capitals (DC) assistant coach Ajit Agarkar said it is wrong to blame Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan for Delhi Capitals’ second defeat in the Indian Premier League 2023. According to the former India pacer, DC have failed collectively.
Gujarat Titans defeated the Capitals by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, April 4. Batting first, Delhi posted 162/8, a target GT chased down in 18.1 overs. While Shaw scored 7, Sarfaraz managed 30.
“They have batted well in the past. We failed as a team as there were no significant contributions from the batting unit, not just one or two batters. Our top order has collapsed in both teams, so there is no point picking two players for the defeat,” he said.
“We haven’t been good enough in both games and need to improve to play good cricket. Credit goes to Gujarat Titans for how they played against us. For us, we need improvement,” he added.
