IPL’s Delhi Capitals receive a huge blow in the form of the absence of their key all-rounder
IPL’s Delhi Capitals receive a huge blow, Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of IPL due to a hamstring injury after he got a tear in his right hamstring in the tournament while playing against Mumbai Indians and went back to Australia on April 7th for treatment.
On April 22nd, news came in that he had been completely pulled out of the Indian Premier League because he was unable to recover and Cricket Australia needed their captain to be well-rested and recover from injuries.
Now Ricky Ponting’s Delhi Capitals will be without their key player. “I don’t think he’ll be coming back. There’s a certain cut-off point with replacement players. Cricket Australia were keen to have him at home to start his recovery process and we sent him back as soon as we could,” Ponting said.
“They’ve been managing his rehab for a couple of weeks now. I spoke to him the other day and it seems it’s taken a little longer than he first thought to get over it. I don’t think the T20 World Cup would be an issue.”

It Is also being speculated that the all-rounder will not play the warm-ups for the T20 World Cup that is set to kick off in June in the Caribbean and the USA.
Moreover, Delhi Capitals are yet to announce their replacement of Marsh. The team has already lost Lungi Ngidi and brought in Jake Fraser McGurk and he has been showing an amazing performance.
Rishab Pant’s lead DC is currently the eighth team on the points table and can’t afford to lose more points to qualify for the finals but except for Fraser McGurk, Rishab Pant, and Tristan Stubbs, the batters have failed to work.
