In a remarkable turnaround, the Delhi Capitals, led by Axar Patel, secured a seven-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals, marking their fourth win of the IPL season. This victory came after a disappointing nine-wicket loss to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where the Capitals were bowled out for just 75 runs, the 12th lowest total in IPL history. Patel highlighted the team's resilience, stating he encouraged them to remain positive and focus on their game. The Capitals successfully chased down the Royals' target of 225 runs, thanks to impressive half-centuries from Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul.

His performance was pivotal in dismantling the Royals' batting lineup early in the match, showcasing his status as a top player in the league.
