The uneasiness was clearly visible in Delhi Capitals after the eight-wicket defeat against Chennai Super Kings. Team coach Hemang Badani and captain Axar Patel gave such statements after the match, which made it clear that the current form of star spinner Kuldeep Yadav has become a big concern for the team. In the match played at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Kuldeep Yadav could not take any wicket giving 34 runs in three overs. Kuldeep’s ineffectiveness on a pitch where the spinners were getting help proved costly for Delhi.
