Delhi Capital was handed the 2nd consecutive defeat by Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023. Delhi Capitals are now the only team to lose 2 matches in the points table. In absence of Rishabh Pant, The captaincy was given to David Warner.
However, Rishabh Pant was present at the Arun Jaitley stadium yesterday to witness his team. Rishabh Pant got a huge cheer from the crowd. Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the IPL 2023 after he met with a fatal accident.
Delhi Capitals need to change the gears soon from the third match, or else chances of qualifying keep going far from DC. Delhi Capitals now have a net run rate of -1.703.
David Warner after Gujarat Titans’ loss
David Warner said, “Don’t think I was surprised (early movement for GT seamers). It did swing a lot more than anticipated. And from the other end, it kept a little low. They showed how to adapt to situations. Got another 6 games here. Have to be on point and expect that swing in the first few overs. We were in the game till the back end. Sai batted well. Miller does what he does. With the dew also, it’ll be challenging if you don’t get 180-190. Was because of the wicket (Axar not bowling) – and the matchups.”
Delhi Capitals had qualified 2 times in the last 3 years. Delhi failed to qualify in the last IPL 2022. Rishabh Pant met all the players of Delhi Capitals and of course gave some useful tips. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer led Delhi Capitals to finals in 2020, but they lost to 5 times champions Mumbai Indians.
Delhi will hope for Pant to recover soon and at least be present in the dressing room to guide the team. David Warner last led Sunrisers Hyderabad to the Trophy when they beat RCB in the 2016 finals. David Warner’s explosive intent too is missing in IPL 2023.
