Delhi Capitals’ batting lineup has suffered a setback as Mitchell Marsh, one of their key players, has been sidelined for the remainder of the Indian Premier League 2024 season. The Australian all-rounder sustained a hamstring injury during Delhi Capitals’ clash against the Kolkata Knight Riders, marking an abrupt end to his IPL campaign this year.
Marsh, who played a crucial role in the team’s strategy, has returned to Australia for treatment after being diagnosed with a partial tear in his right hamstring. Unfortunately, the severity of the injury has ruled out any possibility of his return to the cash-rich league.
The absence of Marsh not only impacts Delhi Capitals’ performance but also raises concerns for Australia’s national cricket team. With the T20 World Cup 2024 looming on the horizon, Marsh was considered a frontrunner to lead the Australian squad. However, his injury puts a question mark on his availability and readiness for the prestigious tournament.
Having featured in four matches for Delhi Capitals this season, Marsh’s contribution was significant, both with the bat and ball. His absence will undoubtedly leave a void in the team’s lineup and strategic plans for the remaining matches of the IPL.
