The start of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023 has not been as expected. Already playing without their captain Rishabh Pant, the team has suppressed both the opening matches with their own hands. Apart from this, the performance of many experienced and expensive players of the team has also not been as per the expectations. In such a situation, Delhi Capitals need to come back and for this, each of its players will have to exert their full force. Even before the next match against Rajasthan Royals, however, Delhi has suffered another major setback. Because Delhi Capitals star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is returning to the country. Delhi Capitals, who have already suffered two consecutive defeats, are going to face Team Rajasthan Royals in the next match. Their match is going to be played in Guwahati. In this match to be held on Saturday, Delhi will have to go without Mitchell Marsh.
* Marsh out for a week :
Before Saturday's match, Delhi Capitals batting coach James Hopes revealed this while talking to the media and told that Mitchell Marsh will not be able to play in the next few matches as he is returning to the country for his marriage. Let us tell you that Delhi bought Marsh for Rs 6.50 crore in the mega auction. However, his performance in the first two matches of this season has not been good.
In the match against Lucknow Supergiants, he was bowled on the very first ball, while against Gujarat Titans he could score only 4 runs, although during this match he definitely took 1 wicket. But now Mitchell Marsh is going to tie the knot with his girlfriend Greta Mack, both of whom got engaged in 2021, after which both of them have been in a relationship for a long time. Marsh, 31, also has a 7-year-old son, who was born in 2016.
Now, who will get a chance in the team:
If we talk about Delhi Capitals, now they already have a good option in the form of West Indies T20 captain Rovman Powell to fill Marsh's place. Because Powell has played only one match this season. Like all the batsmen in that match against Lucknow, he too could not perform anything special and lost his wicket after scoring only 1 run. Although Powell has been in good form for the past few weeks, Delhi would hope that he can fill Marsh's place in the team.
