Axar wants Faf du Plessis to return for DC's upcoming game

The vice-captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC), Faf du Plessis, has not played since suffering an injury on the road against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 10.

The captain of DC, Axar Patel, is sure of du Plessis’s current fitness status and does not know the specifics of the injury, but he hopes to return for Saturday’s away match against Gujarat Titans (GT).

Following DC’s victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Super Overs, Axar remarked, “I was informed that he wouldn’t be able to play three matches — that’s the time he needs to recover — and two matches are done.” “Perhaps he will participate in the Gujarat match. However, the physical therapist must attest to the advancement of his recovery.




In the 17th over of the chase, Kuldeep Yadav tumbled severely while trying to field a ball in the deep, raising further concerns about injuries for DC. After the physiotherapist examined his bowling shoulder, he left right away.

According to Axar, “I have no update on Kuldeep yet.” “If something serious had happened, then we would have known by now.”

Following an overhead shot from Rajat Patidar against RCB, du Plessis ran from extra cover off of Axar’s bowling. He was able to reach the ball, and he left after the eighth over was finished. Later, he opened the innings with two runs off of seven balls.

He was absent from DC’s April 5 matchup with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Axar had simply stated at the time that “Faf isn’t fit.”

Even though they have been winning with or without du Plessis, DC would like to have him back in their lineup as soon as possible.

They have found a reliable alternative in Abishek Porel, who is currently DC’s second-highest run-scorer after KL Rahul with 156 runs from six innings at a strike rate of 143.11. The victory over RR was their fifth in six games.

Australian Star Statement on the Finals of the ODI World Cup 2023

Image
The batman of the Australian cricket team, Marnus Labuschagne, said he had “never seen” someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the finals of the World Cup against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma’s side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India. Labuschagne said, “I think that was certainly Pat’s best day with the ball.” Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the final, said, “I think I’ve never seen someone bowl the sequence Cummins did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven’t seen that from a middle-overs bowler or a pace bowler, especially in a long time. A lot of credit has to go to him.” Labuschagne also praised the tactical acumen of coach Andrew McDonald, saying he and the team analyst prepared t...

Aakash Chopra questions the desire of Team Australia to win the series. Following Australia’s consecutive defeats in the series, with a 44-run loss in Thiruvananthapuram and a close two-wicket defeat in Visakhapatnam, Chopra suggested that the Australian team might be suffering from mental fatigue due to the World Cup 2023 victory. In a video analysis on his YouTube channel, Chopra speculated that Australia’s current performance could be attributed to emotional exhaustion after their World Cup win. Visit : https://www.dadasports247.com Chopra said, “The Australian team needs to buck up, but the big question is, do they actually want to win? Are they here to win? ‘What else are you here for’ — it reminds me of Kapil Paaji (Dev). It is being heard that some reinforcements are being sent to Australia. They are slightly emotionally drained...
