Delhi Capitals coach Hemang Badani is facing heavy criticism as the team struggles in IPL 2026, currently sitting 7th on the table
Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth didn’t hold back, taking aim at Badani over his earlier comments on Stephen Fleming and Chennai Super Kings.
Srikkanth’s blunt take:
- Criticized Badani for “talking too much”
- Urged him to focus on his own team’s performance
- Questioned his remarks that CSK’s success was only due to MS Dhoni
Tactical decisions also under fire:
- Dropping experienced Prithvi Shaw
- Backing debutant Sahil Parakh in a crucial match
- Questionable batting order choices involving KL Rahul
The criticism comes after DC’s shocking collapse to 75 all out vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, intensifying pressure on the coaching staff.
A tough phase for Delhi — and the spotlight is now firmly on leadership decisions
