Delhi Capitals (DC) have had a tumultuous IPL 2026 season, particularly at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. After a recent victory against Rajasthan Royals (RR), head coach Hemang Badani expressed frustration over the inconsistent pitch conditions, stating that the team has won only two out of nine home matches this season. He highlighted the stark contrast in their away performance, with four wins in six games. Badani pointed out that the team has struggled to adapt to varying pitch conditions, which have led to extreme score fluctuations, including being bowled out for 75 in one match and scoring 264 in another. He noted that the unpredictability of the pitches complicates match preparation, making it difficult to set a target or structure the team accordingly. Badani called for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to consider allowing teams to have a say in pitch preparation to enhance home advantage and provide a more consistent playing field. He concluded that the lack of predictability in pitch conditions has been detrimental to the team's strategy and overall performance.
