Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel pointed to poor fielding as a major factor in their 23-run defeat to Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2026 clash at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday (Apr 11). Reflecting on the chase, Patel said his side started well but lost control of the game soon after the powerplay due to regular setbacks in quick succession, which disrupted their rhythm and made the target increasingly difficult to chase.&nbsp;"I think we got off to a good start, but if we talk about the chase, after the power play, we lost two or three wickets in quick succession, which broke the momentum. I feel the difference in fielding was the game-changing moment for me. And if you look at it, whenever wickets fell, they fell in pairs, which made things very difficult. Wickets kept falling in clusters, and that led to a drop in momentum," Patel said during the post-match presentation.&nbsp;Patel further credited the bowlers for keeping the opposition to around the 215-run mark on what he considered a good batting surface. He also mentioned that missed chances in the field made the difference, adding that taking even a couple of them could have changed the result.&nbsp;"I think the batsmen did a decent job, but overall, our fielding let us down, because if you look at it, chasing around 213-215 was pretty much possible. I would like to credit the bowlers; they did a very good job restricting the opposition to around 215-217. It was a very good batting wicket. But as I said, if we hadn't dropped one or two catches in the field, the result could have been different. (Did the pitch slow down?) No, nothing really changed. I think it was tougher for them, maybe because of the dew, and they bowled pretty well," Patel added.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/asian-wrestling-championships-2026-sujeet-abhimanyou-clinch-gold-medals-as-india-s-medals-tally-swells-to-14-1775927413495">Asian Wrestling Championships 2026: Sujeet, Abhimanyou clinch gold medals</a>&nbsp;The victory marked CSK’s first win of the season and ended their six-match losing streak at Chepauk, as they secured a comfortable triumph over Delhi.&nbsp;The contest was headlined by a brilliant unbeaten century from Sanju Samson, while Jamie Overton played a key role with the ball, claiming four wickets to dismantle Delhi’s batting lineup.&nbsp;After being invited to bat, skipper Gaikwad was dismissed for 15, but Samson accelerated the innings alongside Ayush Mhatre, who provided valuable support from the other end.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-updated-points-table-csk-secure-maiden-win-dc-stay-fourth-1775964322334">IPL 2026 updated points table: CSK secure maiden win; DC stay fourth</a> Samson reached his half-century in just 26 deliveries and went on to score an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, hitting 15 fours and four sixes.

A fresh controversy erupted in the Pakistan Super League 2026 when a match between Quetta Gladiators and Rawalpindiz was briefly disrupted by an on-field misunderstanding involving Daryl Mitchell and spinner Usman Tariq. The situation happened during the middle phase of the chase at the National Stadium in Karachi, where Tariq’s unusual bowling action, featuring a short pause before delivery, appeared to unsettle Mitchell. The batter repeatedly stepped out of his stance, indicating he was not fully set to face the delivery. This led to a short stoppage as the umpires stepped in to calm things down and ensure play could continue smoothly.&nbsp;&nbsp;The moment quickly drew attention from commentators and fans, who began debating whether the bowler’s action was fair and legal.<h2>Watch the video below</h2>

The IPL 2026 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday (Apr 9) was one to remember but there was a controversy as well. Batting first, KKR scored 181/4 thanks to Ajinkya Rahane (24-ball 41), Angkrish Raghuvanshi (33-ball 45), Cameron Green (24-ball 32 not out), and Rovman Powell (24-ball 39 unbeaten). KKR's score might have been better at least by six runs if Finn Allen's caught out dismissal was properly checked. Allen was caught out on boundary in the second over by Digvesh Rathi off Prince Yada but not without the drama. Upon replays, it was seen that the boundary cushion moved ever so slightly, making the out decision a dubious call.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ipl-2026-bat-speed-develops-lsg-s-inr-2-6-crore-buy-mukul-choudhary-reveals-how-he-scored-54-not-out-off-27-vs-kkr-1775800332834">IPL 2026 | LSG's INR 2.6 crore buy Mukul Choudhary reveals how he scored 54 not out off 27 vs KKR</a><h2>Was Finn Allen not out - KKR reacts to controversial dismissal</h2>Allen, batting on 9 runs, tried to hit the ball from Prince towards square leg region but the ball took the outside edge of his bat and flew towards the third man area.

Definitely (more angles should have been looked at). We talked about that when he came off. We thought we had seen in the IPL that the umpires have gone upstairs for lesser things, and that are not as close as that. Maybe it was a blunder on their part, but we're not going to look into that and say that is what cost us two points tonight," Powell said.<h2>Mukul snatches win from KKR</h2>Despite all the drama, KKR were on the verge of winning after reducing LSG to 128/7 in 16 overs in a chase of 182. LSG's Mukul Choudhary, however, took it upon himself to turn the tables. The batter scored unbeaten 54 off 27 balls including 52 off his last 19 balls to take his team home on the last ball of a proper humdinger of the match.
