Delhi Capitals Lose [Player Name] Mid-Season: Reason Revealed

Delhi Capitals faced a significant setback as their Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh had to return home for treatment due to a tear in his right hamstring. This development comes as Marsh is expected to lead Australia in the upcoming T20 World Cup in June. The decision for his return was made after consultations with the Delhi team management, as reported by ESPNCricinfo. However, a final decision on his availability for the rest of the season is pending. Marsh's last match was against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 3, and he missed the subsequent games against Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants.

Marsh's highest score this season was only 23 against Rajasthan Royals, a match won by DC with a margin of 12 runs. In the game against KKR, Marsh was dismissed for a duck in DC's 106-run defeat.

Across various formats, Marsh has been in excellent form for Australia, culminating in his recognition with the Allan Border Medal for the most outstanding male Australian cricketer of the year.

Since January 2023, the 32-year-old has amassed 1,954 international runs in 38 matches at an average of 50.10, including three centuries, and has also taken 10 wickets.

Apart from Marsh's absence, DC is also monitoring the availability of veteran Australian opener David Warner for their upcoming away match against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday.

Warner sustained a finger injury while attempting a catch during the game against LSG on Friday. He underwent scans after the team arrived in Ahmedabad due to swelling in his finger.
