In the aftermath of the Delhi Capitals' (DC) three-wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2026, former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla raised concerns about the management's decision to drop veteran South African batter David Miller. Miller made a significant impact upon his return, scoring 51 runs off 28 balls and helping DC chase down a target of 211 runs. Chawla emphasized that DC's previous season was marred by middle-order failures, questioning the rationale behind Miller's exclusion. He noted that Miller had started the season strong before being sidelined, and his explosive innings underscored his value to the team. Additionally, Chawla praised Ashutosh Sharma for his quick 24 runs off 10 balls, suggesting he is being viewed as an experienced finisher despite his limited experience. Madhav Tiwari also made a notable contribution in his first game of the season, scoring 18 runs and taking 2 wickets for 40 runs. With this win, DC now holds five victories this season, placing them seventh on the points table with 10 points from 12 matches.
