Delhi Capitals (DC)completed all league now they some miracle to stay alive in playoffs, throughout the season Delhi Capitals weren’t consistent some players showed their form while some couldn’t play consistently. Prithvi Shaw wasn’t able to perform according to his credentials even after playing exceedingly well in the domestic circuit.
Delhi Capitals need some clarity in batting to choose their combination they changed the opening pair quite a bit but later than never young Aussie Jake Fraser McGurk and Abhishek Porel proved that they are the perfect combo for opening. It won’t be wrong to say that Jake Fraser McGurk will attract a lot of bidders in IPL 2025 Mega Auction.
Pravin Amre speaks on Prithvi Shaw
Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre speaks on Prithvi Shaw about his exclusion from IPL 2024 recent games. Prithvi Shaw joined Delhi Capitals in 2018 and since then he scored runs and explored more in IPL. This IPL he couldn’t showcase his form and scored just 198 runs including just one-half century, later he was benched because of his poor form. Pravin Amre says:
“He [Shaw] was our retained played, and as you see, last four [of five] games he was also on the bench. But that’s the IPL. If you are not in form, you can’t [keep your place]. Ultimately, the pressure for the team is so great that every game is important and we have to win. And we had done that. Without playing him, we won the games. And whoever got the opportunity… I think Abishek grabbed the opportunities with both hands,” said Amre.
Pravin Amre lauds Abhishek Porel
Pravin Amre lauds young southpaw batsman Abhishek Porel who was replaced by Prithvi Shaw as an opener, he showed his form and had an outstanding season. He played all 14 games and earlier he used to come at 3 since Prithvi Shaw’s purple patch continued later he was replaced by him. Abhishek Porel scored 327 runs including two half-centuries. He showed his explosive batting throughout the season and in the last game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), he scored a century which was later praised by Pravin Amre.
“What an innings [Porel] played today. We saw Jake [Fraser-McGurk] getting out in the first over and even then we managed to get 73 runs in the powerplay. I think that’s what was so critical and the credit goes to Shai Hope and Porel for getting that 92-run partnership today,” said Amre.
Miracles will only help Delhi Capitals to qualify for playoffs or else will bid adieu to the season.
