IPL 2022: BAD news for Delhi Capitals, THIS all-rounder unavailable for 3 to 4 games

Mitchell Marsh was bought by the DC for Rs 6.5 crore during the IPL 2022 mega auction. The Australian was the ‘Player of the match’ during his team’s T20 World Cup 2021 final win.

Delhi Capitals have been dealing with injury issues in their squad ever since the IPL 2022 got underway. First South African pacer Anrich Nortje was unavailable for the initial games and now Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is yet to recover from injury he suffered on the tour to Pakistan.

Mitchell Marsh was bought by the DC for Rs 6.5 crore during the IPL 2022 mega auction. The Australian was the ‘Player of the match’ during his team’s T20 World Cup 2021 final win.

It was initially expected that DC would replace him but they opted to integrate him in their squad so that he could continue his rehabilitation in India.

DC’s head coach and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting previously had stated the game against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 10 as Marsh’s possible date of return but he didn’t feature in that now.

Now, their troubles have been compounded as it has been revealed that Marsh is still some way from making a full recovery and is expected to miss the next 3 to 4 matches. “Mitch is still being assessed. There’s some time before our next game, so we may get a clearer idea closer to that,” a source in the know was quoted as saying by ‘The Telegraph’.
