Rehan Ahmed’s roller-coaster few days for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 have left everyone in splits. NEW DELHI: It’s been a roller-coaster few days for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026 and the team’s young spinner Rehan Ahmed captured it perfectly with a light-hearted remark that has now gone viral.In a candid interaction on the team bus, the 21-year-old, who is yet to play for DC this season, was asked by his teammate Sameer Rizvi about his experience with the franchise so far. His response left teammates in splits: “Very well, one game 260, the other game 70.”The joke summed up DC’s stunning contrast during the last two matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Just days after posting a mammoth 264/2 against Punjab Kings, they were bowled out for just 75 by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a crushing defeat.WATCH:
The viral moment captures the extremes of DC
Rehan’s off-the-cuff remark struck a chord as it reflects the team’s dramatic inconsistency. The Capitals went from producing one of their highest totals of the season to one of their most humbling collapses — all in three days.

Even captain Axar Patel admitted after RCB’s defeat that “even I don’t know what happened,” reflecting the shock in the dressing room.RCB’s loss was particularly glaring. Chasing just 76, Bengaluru completed the target in 6.3 overs – one of the fastest chases in IPL history. The game was effectively decided on the powerplay when the pacers broke through the DC top order and reduced them to 8 to 6.While several batters put up brief resistance, the collapse proved too steep to recover from. In response, RCB cruised to victory with ease, underscoring the gap between the two performances.For Delhi, the back-to-back extremes have resulted in a three-game losing streak, raising questions about consistency at a crucial stage of the tournament.
