The struggles of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan against top quality pace attack has been the talking point in Delhi Capitals’ crushing defeats so far, but bowling coach Ajit Agarkar finds it unfair to single out any player when the failure has been a collective one. LSG beat DC by 50 runs in their first game before GT on Tuesday comfortably romped home by six wickets with 11 balls to spare.

Agarkar said –

“I mean they (Shaw and Sarfaraz) have got runs against fast bowling. I don’t think we batted well so why point out one or two guys.” In both the games, the two Mumbaikars, who have been prolific batters at the domestic level, seemed to have struggled against likes of Mark Wood (LSG), Shami and Joseph (GT), all of whom can bowl at 145 plus clicks, and get movement and bounce at good speed.

Agarkar added – “None of our top order players really got going in both the games. We haven’t had big runs at the top which some of the other teams have.” After being in a tangle against short ball by Wood in the first game, Sarfaraz was hit on the head by Alzarri and umpires called for a concussion check as he struggled to get to 30 off 33 balls.

Agarkar reasoned –

“No point picking individuals, collectively we haven’t been good on both nights and we need to improve as we are playing against some good teams. So lot of credit to Gujarat but we need to bat collectively as a unit to get results.”
