Indian Premier League 2023: In the 16th season of IPL, the batting of Delhi Capitals (DC) has so far been very poor compared to other teams. A similar performance was seen in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), for which now former Indian player Harbhajan Singh, taking a jibe at Delhi Capitals' batting, said that he should get his assistant coach Shane Watson to open now.
In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, after winning the toss, Delhi Capitals decided to field with a new opening pair, in which Phil Salt was sent along with captain David Warner. Salt was given a chance in place of Prithvi Shaw, who has been seen in very poor form so far this season. Although Phil Salt could not do anything special and returned to the pavilion on the very first ball of his innings.
Regarding this, former Indian player Harbhajan Singh took a dig at the batting of the Delhi Capitals team on his YouTube channel and said that I want to say that Delhi Capitals should feed Shane Watson. He has not had much time to retire and the way Delhi's opening partnership is looking, Watson will be seen performing better.
Harbhajan Singh praised Akshar Patel
In his statement, Harbhajan Singh praised the performance of Akshar Patel and Manish Pandey and said that it seems that the Delhi team has scored 25 to 30 runs less while batting first on this pitch. Delhi batsmen did not bat well at all. The way Akshar Patel and Manish Pandey handled the innings together from 62 for 5 wickets, they must be praised and they should also be credited for taking the team's score to 144 runs.
