New Delhi, May 26:
Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani admitted that his side failed to produce consistent performances through the season and paid the price for not capitalising on key moments in crucial matches.
DC ended their 2026 IPL campaign in sixth place with seven wins and as many defeats, falling short of the playoffs for the fifth year running.
There were several matches where DC came close to winning but failed to cross the line. They suffered a heartbreaking one-run defeat against Gujarat Titans at home and were also unable to defend a massive total of 264 against Punjab Kings.
To add to their woes, there were dropped catches galore which proved to be decisive in their losses against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“There were many games that I genuinely felt that could go either way. And we did not seize those moments. Even with us batting, we did not many a times hold on to our wickets. We have lost too many in clusters,” Badani said.
