New Delhi: It has been a rollercoaster few days for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, and the team’s young spinners Rehan Ahmed Caught it perfectly with a light-hearted remark that has now gone viral.In a candid team bus chat, the 21-year-old – yet to feature for DC this season – was asked by teammate Sameer Rizvi about his experience with the franchise so far. His response divided teammates: “Great, 260 one game, 70 the next.”That quip summed up DC’s astonishing inconsistency in their last two matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Just days after posting a mammoth innings of 264/2 against Punjab Kings, he was bowled out by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for just 75 runs.Look:
The viral moment captured DC’s extremes.
Rehaan’s off-the-cuff remarks have struck a chord as it reveals the dramatic inconsistency of the team. The Capitals went from producing one of their highest totals of the season to suffering one of their most humiliating collapses — all in the span of three days.By contrast, hard to ignore even inside the camp, players acknowledged the odd swing in fortunes. Even the captain Akshar Patel “I don’t even know what happened,” admitted after the RCB defeat, reflecting the shock in the dressing room.The loss to RCB was particularly stark. Chasing just 76 runs, Bengaluru reached the target in 6.3 overs – one of the fastest in IPL history. The game was effectively decided in the powerplay, as the pacers tore through DC’s top order, taking their tally to 8 for 6.While a few batsmen offered brief resistance, the fall proved too great to recover from. In reply, RCB cruised to victory with ease, narrowing the gap between the two performances.For Delhi, back-to-back defeats have resulted in a three-match losing streak, raising questions about consistency at a crucial stage of the tournament.
