One such choice was to exclude left-arm seamer T Natarajan, who was one of their largest auction purchases.
At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday night, the Delhi Capitals (DC) lost badly to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which could hurt their prospects of finishing in the top two this season. Experts questioned the Delhi team’s tactics a lot when they made obvious mistakes during the match.
Journalists have begun to criticise the team’s selection following the defeat, in addition to the dubious choices made by Axar Patel and company during the game. They can only choose 12 players, though, and the Tamil Nadu pacer will be prepared when his time comes, according to DC coach and former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen.
One impact player is among the 12 players we are able to use. And it would be helpful to us if you could tell me where he now fits in. We would benefit if you could assist us in playing 13–14. At the press conference following the game, Capitals coach Kevin Pietersen stated, “I can say one thing about Natarajan: he’s doing everything that has been asked of him, as are all of our players.”
“Our setup has been so impressive because of how good the guys who aren’t playing are, and they know that their opportunity is coming.” They are aware that their opportunity is imminent,” the former England great continued.
Regarding the Delhi Capitals’ current standing in the tournament, they have six victories and three losses from their nine games, placing them in fourth place on the points table. Their next matchup is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
