Axar speaks on poor fielding display from DC

Axar, serving as the stand-in captain for DC in Rishabh Pant’s absence, didn’t shy away from addressing his team’s shortcomings, particularly the numerous missed catches. While acknowledging the impact of these errors on their defeat, he stressed that tighter fielding could have restricted RCB to a total of 150.

“Dropped catches hurt us. Could’ve restricted them to 150. When you lose four wickets in powerplay, you’re always chasing the game. 160-170 would’ve been a par score. Pitch was two-paced,” Axar said in the post-match presentation.
