IPL 2023 Live: Shocking! Axar Patel sent before Rovman Powell despite DC needing 94 runs off last 6 overs

The decision to send Axar Patel ahead of dominating hitter Rovman Powell was unexpectedly shocking. Considering that DC were in a need of a batter who can change the game by levelling up since Warner who is settled in is currently playing at a strike rate of 110 only.

Rovman Powell is known to smash the spinners and two crucial overs of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin could have benefited Delhi Capitals.

The commentators also think that Rovman Powell waiting at the pavilion in these moments where required run rate is over 16 runs, was unacceptable.
