Ahead of their critical IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Delhi Capitals (DC) captain Axar Patel brought some levity to the training ground with a light-hearted interaction that has since gone viral.
In a video posted on social media, Patel is seen engaging with a robot dog, playfully asking it, “Gujarati samajta hai?” (Do you understand Gujarati?). The humorous exchange, met with laughter from both Patel and onlookers, has captured fans’ attention and added a cheerful twist to DC’s preparations.
This amusing moment offered a welcome break for the squad, who are under pressure to secure a win as the tournament heats up. Patel, who has been in strong form with both bat and ball this season, continues to lead by example—not only on the field but also in boosting team morale off it.
Delhi Capitals currently hold the second position on the points table with five wins and two losses. However, the team has stumbled recently, losing two of their last three matches after an initial four-match winning streak. Axar Patel’s leadership has been a key factor in DC’s strong campaign, and his ability to keep the atmosphere light could be a crucial edge as the team pushes for a playoff spot.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have also been consistent, sitting in fifth place with five wins and three losses. The LSG squad has built momentum with four victories in their last five matches. Despite Rishabh Pant’s ongoing struggles with the bat, his captaincy has kept the team steady, with the top-order consistently providing explosive starts.
The high-stakes match between DC and LSG is scheduled for April 22, 2025, at 7:30 PM IST at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
