I am virgin\u201d\u2014left the physio unable to continue the conversation without laughing.<\/li>\n<li>Axar said Craig couldn\u2019t ask anything further, and both men eventually returned to the field after sharing the moment.<\/li>\n<li>Delhi Capitals missed the playoffs again, finishing fifth in IPL 2025 and then sixth in the most recent season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The helmet incident and the off-beat reply<\/h2>\n<p>Axar described the situation as tense for Ashutosh, explaining that he was batting when he received a blow to his helmet. As part of standard safety procedures, Craig Anthony de Weymarn\u2014Delhi\u2019s physiotherapist\u2014went out to assess the player and determine how he was doing.<\/p>\n<p>Axar said Craig was about to ask Ashutosh for an update on his condition when the batter responded with the unusual line that immediately broke the seriousness of the moment. The DC captain shared the exchange, quoting Ashutosh as saying: \u201cYes bro. I am virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Axar noted that both Craig and Ashutosh struggled to control their laughter after that. He added that later, the physiotherapist informed the team captain about what had been said, and that the incident stuck because Ashutosh came across as extremely funny. Axar also remarked that Ashutosh could \u201cdo anything,\u201d highlighting his playful nature even in pressure situations.<\/p>\n<h2>Delhi Capitals\u2019 season ends outside the top four<\/h2>\n<p>Despite Axar\u2019s leadership and the presence of key performers, Delhi Capitals failed to reach the playoffs for the second consecutive year. The franchise finished fifth in IPL 2025, and this season they slipped to sixth place.<\/p>\n<p>Axar\u2019s comments also came against a backdrop of broader concerns about Delhi\u2019s campaign. The batting, while producing a major contribution from KL Rahul\u2014who scored 500-plus runs\u2014was viewed as having limited impact in the bigger picture of results.<\/p>\n<p>The batting line-up, Axar\u2019s narrative suggested, lacked enough depth and variety to consistently challenge opponents and give Delhi a pathway to the business end of the tournament. With too many players being seen as one-dimensional, the side struggled to generate the sustained firepower required to push deeper.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi\u2019s bowling also came under pressure, with the unit not showing the potency needed over the course of the season. The situation was made harder by Mitchell Starc missing the first half of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Individually, their main spinner Kuldeep Yadav endured a difficult season, while Lungi Ngidi\u2014despite being in form\u2014could not shoulder the burden alone and do enough to tilt matches in DC\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n<p>With another disappointing finish, Delhi Capitals are among the teams expected to consider changes to their leadership setup going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel has shared a light-hearted story from
