NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals have been dealt a significant blow with the news of Mitchell Marsh‘s return home to undergo treatment for a tear in his right hamstring.
Marsh, who is set to be named Australia‘s captain for the T20 World Cup in June, was recalled after consultations with the Delhi team management, according to ESPNCricinfo.While a final decision on his availability for the remainder of the IPL season is pending, Marsh’s absence leaves a void in the Delhi Capitals’ squad, particularly in the all-rounder department.
IPL: POINTS TABLE | ORANGE CAP | PURPLE CAP
Marsh last played against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 3 and missed their previous two outings against Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants.
Marsh’s top-score this season has only been 23 versus Rajasthan Royals, which DC won by 12 runs. He got out for a duck in their 106-run defeat against KKR.
Despite his relatively modest performances in the IPL this season, Marsh’s recent form for the Australian national team has been impressive, earning him recognition as the recipient of the Allan Border Medal. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball adds depth and balance to any team, making his absence a significant loss for Delhi Capitals.
In addition to Marsh’s injury, Delhi Capitals are also sweating over the availability of veteran Australian opener David Warner, who sustained a finger injury during a recent match against Lucknow Super Giants. Warner’s potential absence further compounds the team’s concerns ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
As Delhi Capitals navigate through Marsh’s absence and Warner’s injury concerns, they will be hoping for swift recoveries for both players to bolster their campaign in the IPL.
The team’s depth and resilience will be put to the test as they strive to maintain momentum and secure vital victories in the remainder of the season.
