Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh had a memorable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 campaign with Delhi Capitals, even as the franchise failed to make the play-offs. Marsh scored 251 runs from 8 matches, with two half-centuries and was one of DC's better players in the season. In recent seasons, Marsh has struggled with injuries whenever he has played in the IPL, and this year too, he came in to the tournament nursing an injury and after finally playing a match, he contracted COVID-19.

"It was a shame we couldn't get into the (IPL) finals," the 30-year-old said here ahead of the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, beginning on June 7.
