Vice-captain Axar Patel believes the Delhi Capitals shouldn’t tinker with too many aspects of their overall game despite twin defeats as it is just a matter of time before things start falling in place.

DC lost consecutive games to the Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Giants. But Axar added that the side will take some time to gel as a unit.

“It’s still early days in the tournament. I don’t think we need to work on too many aspects of our game,” Axar was quoted as saying in a release.

The India international believes that as a combination, it will take some time to work as they haven’t played for a long time. “Once our combinations start working, then it’ll get better for us.”

The counter-argument to Axar’s opinion could be that all teams are facing the same problems.

The Capitals were back at their home ground, playing for the first time in four years at the Kotla on Tuesday.

“It was disappointing to be on the wrong side of the result. But it was great to play in front of our fans after a long time. I hope the fans enjoyed the game. Hopefully, we’ll perform well in the rest of our home games.”

Axar scored a brisk 22-ball 36, which was studded with a couple of fours and three maximums including a one-handed six.

“I didn’t plan the one-handed six. My bottom hand came off when I tried to extend my arms. Then I told Rishabh that the one-handed shot was for him.”
