Delhi Capitals players were once again forced into isolation in the ongoing IPL-15 after a net bowler of the franchise tested positive for COVID-19. "One net bowler tested positive today morning in test. Players have been asked to stay in rooms," IPL sources said hours ahead of their Sunday's match against Chennai Super Kings.
David Warner has been a revelation for Delhi Capitals (DC) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. In eight matches, he has scored 356 runs at an average of 59.33 with a strike-rate of 156.82 to be DC's top-scorer. He was not retained by his old team SunRisers Hyderabad, and was picked for INR 6.25 crore by Delhi Capitals in the IPL mega auction. This is Warner's second stint with the Delhi franchise. Earlier from 2009 to 2013, he played for them (when the side was called Delhi Daredevils).
Delhi Capitals are currently at the fifth spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table with 10 points from 10 games. The side will next clash against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday evening and the Rishabh Pant-led side would look to register their second win on the trot to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the playoffs. In the last game, the side had defeated SunRisers Hyderabad after David Warner, Rovman Powell and Khaleel Ahmed emerged as standout performers. Heading into the game against CSK, it needs to be seen whether Prithvi Shaw would be in the mix to start for Delhi Capitals.
Chennai Super Kings have struggled for form this season, with just three wins in 10 matches. The franchise had a captaincy change mid-season, with MS Dhoni back as the skipper as Ravindra Jadeja stepped down. While they won the first match after that change against SunRisers Hyderabad, they suffered a defeat in their next game to Royal Challengers Bangalore. The defending champions next take on fifth-placed Delhi Capitals at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai in Sunday's second match as they look to keep alive their slim hopes of making it to the playoffs. Shivam Dube and Dwayne Bravo have missed out on the last two matches and while there is no word on Dube, Bravo is understood to have a niggle that has kept him out of the playing XI.
Rajasthan Royals on Sunday informed that West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer has left the team camp in Mumbai to travel back to Guyana for the birth of his first child. The franchise said that the left-handed batter will be back soon. The batter has been in incredible form this season for the franchise and has provided the much-needed boost lower down the order.
Rajasthan Royals on Sunday said that their West Indian batter Shimron Hetmyer has left for Guyana for the birth of his first child. "We are helping him (Hetymer) in every way we can, and our best wishes are with him and his wife Nirvani," the Royals said on their official Twitter handle. They also said that Hetymer would return to Mumbai soon and resume his duties for the franchise for the remaining matches of the IPL.
Delhi Capitals bowlers need to stop opener Ruturaj from taking chargeA glance at the IPL table may suggest that eight wins (16 points) is a minimum to qualify for the Playoffs. If that holds true, then Delhi Capitals with 10 from 10 are on a tight-rope walk and Chennai Super Kings (6 points from 10) are already playing for pride. But strange things have happened in IPL before with everything going topsy-turvy towards the business end. That makes CSK believe that seven wins can still be enough for the fourth team to sneak through. Albeit mathematical, there's still a chance for CSK and that's what is going to make them a dangerous proposition for Delhi.
Focus on struggling Kane Williamson, Virat KohliIt's ironic that two of the best batsmen in modern times are struggling and so are their teams as they head into the last stages of the league phase in IPL. Having followed a similar career trajectory since their junior days, Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson are going through a lean patch with the former at No. 32 in the batting charts with 216 runs from 11 outings - a highest of 58 - and Williamson is at No. 34 with 199 from 10 innings with a highest of 57.
