Ladies’ luck? Yes, lady luck is the key. In addition, I have faith in my ability to hit because of how I have been hitting over the past 12 months. I’m still holding onto that assurance. And when things are going well, I want to maintain the pattern and be consistent. I believe in that. In a video that was shared on the IPL Twitter, Axar said to Mukesh, “Lady luck is also a nutritionist.
After Washington Sundar took three wickets in one over, DC was reduced to 62/5 in only 8 overs. When he unexpectedly had to come out to bat, Axar said he was enjoying a cup of coffee.
“I made a coffee order. I enjoy a cup of coffee before going to bat. I decided to get some coffee after 2 wickets were lost. Only after I had the coffee cup in my hand did a few players hurry up and tell me, “Bhai, go, it’s your turn to bat.” The coffee also became cold, so I had to go,” stated Axar.
I spoke with Manish Pandey when I went there. He was questioned about the pitch. He added that he had only encountered one ball. But I was informed that the pitch was sluggish. We aimed to make the game more deep. We were successful in developing a collaboration, he added.
The Sunrisers are now ranked ninth in the standings after the loss, with just two victories in their previous seven games. The Delhi Capitals were still at the bottom of the league rankings despite winning the game.
Halfway through the league stage of the season, both SRH and DC need to produce a run of victories if they want to stay in the playoff race.
