After winning five games out their first six in IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals have had a bit of setback with three losses in the last four games. Former South Africa skipper Shaun Pollock thinks that 'DC top order has to be more consistent' in the remaining games to overcome that.
The comments come on the back of DC's 14-run loss against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Tuesday (April 29) while chasing a 205-run target.

Pollock says DC need consistency at top
"They have shown us what they can do. They have scored some cameos here and there, but you look at the teams that are sitting on the top," the ex-SA skipper said while talking to Cricbuzz after DC's loss against KKR.
"For example, Sai Sudharsan has scored nearly in every game, Shubman Gill's been very consistent. Suryakumar Yadav does not have less than 20 runs in the whole tournament; there is always someone who is scoring there. KL Rahul is DC's man. They will be happy that Faf is back at the top of the order, but I just think the other three need to score runs more consistently. They need 3–4 guys to score consistently every game," Pollock added.

Rahul, who switched sides from LSG to DC ahead of this season, has been their best batter with 371 runs in nine games. The next best is Abhishek Porel with only 257 runs - which highlights Pollock's point of consistency.
DC have looked strong this season to go into the playoffs and before their three losses in last four games, they were among the top two teams on the points table along with Gujarat Giants.
Currently, DC have six wins and four losses from 10 games which gives them 12 points. In the rest four games, they need two to three wins to finish in top two to have a double shot at making it to the final.
