MUMBAI : New Zealander Tim Seifert became Delhi Capitals' second overseas player to test positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday prompting the organisers of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to shift Friday's match from Pune to Mumbai.
MUMBAI (Reuters) - New Zealander Tim Seifert became Delhi Capitals' second overseas player to test positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday prompting the organisers of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to shift Friday's match from Pune to Mumbai.
The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season is a prime example of good catches turning a game on its head. At the same time, a dropped catch is enough to show a team the exit door. Apart from a number of jaw-dropping and acrobatic efforts by the fielders, the IPL this year has also seen a number of catches being dropped. During the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, DC captain Rishabh Pant made a mess of a caught behind chance off Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav. Karthik was batting on 5 when Pant failed to grasp Karthik's catch. Karthik went on to score an unbeaten 66 off 34 balls to eventually help RCB register a win. In another instance, in the Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants match LSG's Krunal Pandya put down a dolly at long-on off Krishnappa Gowtham. RR's Shimron Hetmyer was batting on 14 when he was dropped by Krunal and the Windies batsman made a mockery of the LSG bowlers and piled on an unbeaten 59 off 36 balls to help RR post 165 on the board. In reply, LSG managed 162 and lost the match by 3 runs.
Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has by no means been poor with the bat in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, scoring 144 runs from five matches with a strike rate of 146.94 and average of 36, but he hasn't looked his destructive best either, as he has tried to play with a more circumspect approach while batting. However, former India coach Ravi Shastri feels that he should forget about batting responsibly and just play freely, as that is what brings out the best in him. He also said that it would help him captain the side better as well.
Delhi Capitals face Punjab Kings in Match 32 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. The match was originally scheduled to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune, but DC all-rounder Mitchell Marsh tested positive for COVID-19, which prompted the BCCI to shift the venue from Mumbai to Pune. Marsh will miss the game, and as a result the DC management is likely to make a few changes to their playing XI. The Rishabh Pant-led side have played five matches so far, winning two and losing three, and currently occupy the eighth spot in the points table.
Team allowed to practice on Tuesday, match vs Punjab moved to BrabourneBeing in the Delhi Capitals camp right now isn't the most lucrative prospect. Uncertainty has gripped the franchise. They were yet to settle down on a Plan A in their first matches of this season. Now they are hustling to draw up a Plan B and execute it. Unavailability of foreign players to start with and now a Covid outbreak in the camp has ensured Capitals haven't had the easiest initiation to the season. On Tuesday, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) decided to move Capitals' match against Punjab Kings from Pune to the Brabourne stadium in Mumbai. The reason was "to avoid any further incident due to any undetected case during a long-distance bus journey in a closed environment".
Delhi Capitals (DC) face Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Match 32 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, on Wednesday. DC are currently eighth in the IPL 2022 Points Table with four points from five games (two wins and three defeats). Meanwhile, PBKS are seventh in the standings with six points from six fixtures (three wins and three losses). Both sides will be aiming for a win in the upcoming match.
Although he might be going through a bad patch of batting form. Virat Kohli showed fans that he can still contribute to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in other ways in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season on Saturday. Kohli was dismissed after only registering 12 runs off 14 balls against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, but pulled off a fantastic one-handed catch to send opposition captain Rishabh Pant back to the pavilion. On the 17th over of the chase, Pant received a wide full toss from Mohammed Siraj and tried to send it over extra cover. But the DC captain toe-ended his shot towards Kohli at extra cover, who instinctively hopped and completed a one-handed stunner. After completing the catch, Kohli's celebration included waving to wife Anushka Sharma in the stands.
