Nothing good seems to be happening for the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2024. The team is going through many difficulties at this time. His performance has been very poor since the beginning of this IPL series. The team has played a total of 6 matches so far, where they have won only two, while they have lost four matches so far. His team is at 9th position in the points table. Meanwhile, he has suffered another shock. Now there is suspense over the play of one player of the team. This player is none other than David Warner.
Injury increased tension
Before the match against Gujarat Titans in IPL, the Delhi Capitals team suffered the biggest blow when the injuries of the players became a big problem for them. Some key players are struggling with injuries. First Australian player Mitchell Marsh returned to Australia due to hamstring injury and now another star player David Warner is under injury. Actually, he got injured in the finger of his left hand during the match played against Lucknow Super Giants. In such a situation, suspense remains regarding him in the match against Gujarat Titans. And head coach Ricky Ponting gave an update on him in the pre-match press conference, saying that a final decision on him will be taken on the match day.
Ricky Ponting said this
Ricky Ponting said that David had an X-ray after the last game. That X-ray came back absolutely clear. But, there is a lot of swelling around the bottom of his left hand. He had a fitness test this morning. The Capitals have two wins from six matches and while another defeat at this stage of the tournament could jeopardize their playoff dreams, the batsmen will once again have to perform well as they face the challenge of Afghanistan’s spin twins Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed. There will be danger to be faced, especially if Warner is not there for the match in Ahmedabad.
If Warner is out then who will enter?
If David Warner does not play in the match against Gujarat Titans, then the team will first look for an opener and a foreign player. In this case, the team can get Abhishek Porel to open, while the team has many other options in the form of foreign players. In which he can give a chance to Jhye Richardson. In fact, if the team bats first, Richardson can be seen playing as an impact player during the second innings.
