Injuries have become a cause for concern for Delhi Capitals (DC) as all-rounder Mitchell Marsh finds himself sidelined with a hamstring injury. This prompts worries within the team camp and among fans alike. The setback comes at a crucial juncture in the IPL 2024 season, posing challenges for DC’s campaign.
Assistant coach Pravin Amre expressed concern over Marsh’s injury, highlighting its significance for the team’s prospects in the ongoing season. Amre’s remarks shed light on the uncertainty surrounding Marsh’s availability and the impact it may have on DC’s performance.

“A few of our players are injured, and the worrying sign is Mitch Marsh. He has gone for a scan and the physios will give us a report in a week’s time. Then we will come to know what the exact situation is. Whether he can [play the entire season] or not depends on the reports.” Amre said after DC’s 29-run loss away to Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday.
Initially opening the batting alongside David Warner, Marsh’s role evolved as the season progressed, with him dropping to No. 3 in the batting order. However, his contribution with both bat and ball suffered a setback during DC’s encounter with Kolkata Knight Riders, where he sustained a hamstring injury.
Marsh’s injury not only concerns DC but also raises worries for the Australia team management, given his anticipated leadership role in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The severity of the injury and its implications for Marsh’s international commitments add to the apprehension surrounding his recovery.
In addition to Marsh’s setback, DC has been grappling with the absence of spinner Kuldeep Yadav due to a groin niggle. The continued lack of key players further compounds the challenges faced by the team in finding their winning rhythm. That was the reason why Mitchell Marsh and ace spinner Kuldeep Yadav didn’t play against MI today.
Despite the setbacks, DC remains determined to bounce back and reclaim their winning form. With the hope of key players returning to fitness soon, the team looks forward to overcoming these obstacles and making a strong statement in the remainder of the IPL 2024 season.
As Mitchell Marsh’s injury casts a shadow of uncertainty over Delhi Capitals’ campaign, the team finds itself facing a pivotal moment in the IPL 2024 season. However, with resilience and determination, coupled with the potential return of sidelined players, DC remains poised to navigate through adversity and emerge stronger on the other side.
