DC vs CSK: The mathematics that Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel has done to reach the play-offs is beyond comprehension. After the loss to CSK, the calculations they made to enter the playoffs were astonishing. Akshar Patel explained the formula for his team to reach the playoffs after the defeat against Chennai Super Kings. But the question is, how does it fit?

Has Akshar Patel forgotten how many matches are left?

Delhi Capitals has played 10 matches so far in IPL 2026. In these 10 matches, he has won only 4 and lost 6. In this way, with 8 points and minus run rate, he is at number 7 in the points table. Now the captain of Delhi Capitals says that he will take his team to the playoffs from this position also. Can also be taken. There is no doubt about this. Because there are still hopes left. But from the mathematics used to reach there, it seems that Akshar Patel is forgetting something.

4 matches left and Akshar Patel talked about winning 5 matches

Even after losing the match against Chennai Super Kings, Axar Patel looked positive about his hopes of reaching the playoffs, which is a good sign. But what he said that for that he would have to win the next 5 matches was a bit surprising. The mathematics of Akshar Patel winning 5 matches was not understood because Delhi Capitals had played 10 matches in the same manner. Now all the teams have to play only 14 matches in the group stage, so the question is how can Delhiites win 5 matches?

If DC loses even one match in 4 matches, it will be out of playoff race.

It is clear that there has been a mistake in Akshar Patel's accounting. Perhaps while saying this the Delhi captain may have forgotten how many more matches are left. Well, it is certain that if they lose even one of the remaining matches, the doors to the playoffs will be closed for them.
