On Thursday, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and team in a fresh new jersey in their match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium to begin the second half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. (April 28). The Rishabh Pant-led team was inconsistent in the first half, winning only three of their seven games.
Last week, the DC camp was attacked with COVID-19, which is one of the reasons for the team’s troubles. Now that the players have healed, DC will look to start over. They need to perform like KKR did in the 2021 season. Last year, KKR only won two of their first seven matches, led by Eoin Morgan. They went on to play in the IPL 2021 final.

The availability of Mitchell Marsh and Tim Seifert for the KKR match has given DC a boost. Marsh, who was named to the final XI, was the first player to test positive for COVID-19. He’ll most likely bat third. Seifert isn’t a sure thing for the starting lineup and might end up on the bench. When many of DC’s abroad stars were unavailable for selection, he played two games.
Ricky Ponting to return to DC’s dug-out
Ricky Ponting, the head coach of the Delhi Capitals, will return to the dugout for this crucial match. After a member of his family tested positive for COVID-19, he was placed in isolation for five days. Ponting’s testing came out negative both times.
However, DC’s assistant coach, Pravin Amre, will be absent from the game. The veteran coach was given a one-match ban by the IPL for invading the playing field during a no-ball dispute against Rajasthan Royals. He was penalised together with Rishabh and Shardul Thakur.
