IPL 2026, DC vs PBKS | I’d be happy to bat higher up the order: Capitals’ Stubbs

Too often in this IPL, Tristan Stubbs has had to come in to bat when Delhi Capitals has lost a spate of wickets. It has resulted in the South African having to rebuild rather than attack from the get-go, as indicated by a middling strike-rate of 137.06 after six matches.

It prompted Venugopala Rao, Capitals’ Director of Cricket, to remark after their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad that they could look to free up the 25-year-old by moving him to No. 3.
