New Delhi. Delhi Capitals captain Akshar Patel said that he would like to ensure that his team is always alert and keeps coming back with full strength. Even though they had to face a crushing defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the match played at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Monday. He will inspire the team to forget it and move ahead. Delhi Capitals team was all out for just 75 runs. The score in powerplay was 13/6. This is the lowest powerplay score in IPL history. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood destroyed the top order.
After this, RCB achieved the target in less than seven overs. Handed Delhi Capitals one of the biggest defeats of the season by defeating them by nine wickets.

During the conversation, DC captain Akshar Patel talked about forgetting this match and moving ahead. Akshar said in the post-match presentation. “I still don’t understand what happened. But everyone says that in cricket you have to be alert every day and repeat the same things again and again. When you go to the next match, you have to forget it and move on. If I talk about today, you might think so. But I think if-buts, we will keep going.”
Panic rarely helps any team to recover, but after such a big defeat, the morale of any team breaks. DC losing 6 wickets for just 13 runs was embarrassing for the fans and players.
