The 17th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has now reached that stage where every match has become very important from the point of view of reaching the playoffs. So far, 60 matches have been played in this season, in which only KKR team has qualified for the playoffs, while Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings teams are out of this race. Apart from this, the remaining 7 teams still have hopes of reaching the playoffs. The 61st match of this season, played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals team, is considered very important for both the teams. While RCB needs to win this match to remain in the playoff race, Delhi Capitals team is also in a similar situation. One good thing that has come out for Delhi from this match is that David Warner is completely fit, who can be seen playing in this match.
Coach Ricky Ponting gives update on Warner’s fitness
David Warner was not a part of the playing 11 of the Delhi Capitals team due to injury in the last few matches. His hand was injured, but now he is completely fit. Regarding Warner’s return in the match against RCB, Delhi Capitals team head coach Ricky Ponting said that Warner has worked hard in the nets recently and he looks completely fit. I can only hope that David Warner will be available for selection in the match against RCB. Let us tell you that in this match, Akshar Patel will be seen handling the captaincy of DC team in place of Rishabh Pant. Pant has been suspended for one match for violating the IPL Code of Conduct.
Warner’s bat has remained silent so far this season
In the 17th season of IPL, David Warner has played 7 matches so far, in which he has scored only 167 runs at an average of 23.86, which includes only one half-century innings. Warner’s form will definitely be a matter of concern for the Delhi Capitals team, but in the absence of Pant, his experience can definitely prove to be very useful for the team on the field. Whereas in the IPL, David Warner has seen an excellent record with the bat against RCB in which he has scored 861 runs at an average of 43.05 in 22 matches, which includes one century and 9 half-centuries.
