New Delhi, May 6, 2024: The Delhi Capitals, fresh off a brief vacation, are ready to play the Rajasthan Royals in their IPL 2024 encounter, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 7, at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Ishant Sharma and David Warner’s fitness status was updated by the head coach of the Delhi Capitals, Ricky Ponting.
“Today, they both had training. Ishant has actually trained for three of the past five days. Most likely, he won’t bowl today. After watching him bowl for the past several days, we’re not too unhappy with what we’ve witnessed. He is currently eligible for selection, according to Ponting, who was speaking at the pre-game press conference.
David Warner took a couple of days off. He also batted for roughly 20 minutes yesterday in the nets. Today is when he will put in his last miles. “I saw him yesterday, and he’s a lot better than he was a few days ago, but he hasn’t recovered from his fit yet,” he continued.

As of right now, the Delhi Capitals are sixth in the standings, with five wins and six losses. Returning to their home field might transform their fortunes, according to the Australian legend, who was speaking about the next encounter against the Rajasthan Royals.
“We’re back home now, even though our last game versus Kolkata wasn’t our greatest. Of our three games here, we have won two. Although we are aware that Rajasthan is a formidable team, our performance in the tournament thus far has shown that we may be difficult to beat if we can maintain our highest level of cricket for 40 overs. Who or where we play them doesn’t matter. We are aware of our superiority over everyone.
He stated, “Tomorrow, we go on to a wicket that we have used,” in reference to the pitch’s circumstances. It was a wicket used in a high-scoring match versus the Sunrisers. We anticipate that this one will likely move a little more slowly tomorrow. It could only provide the spinners with a tiny bit more.”
