Delhi Capitals' hard-hitting batter, Mitchell Marsh, has encountered a setback in his Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL) campaign. The Australian powerhouse has been sidelined for the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury. This unfortunate turn of events saw Marsh journey back to Australia to address the partial tear in his right hamstring.

The Delhi Capitals (DC) will definitely feel Mitchell Marsh's absence because the all-rounder gave their lineup a dynamic edge. The team's plan relied heavily on his explosive hitting ability and practical bowling skills, therefore, his departure was a major setback to their hopes of winning the competition

Recent reports from ESPNCricinfo have revealed that Mitchell Marsh will not be making a return to India for the remainder of the IPL 2024 season. The dynamic all-rounder is prioritizing his recovery from a partial tear in his right hamstring, setting his sights on being fit for the upcoming T20 World Cup in 2024.

In the four games that Marsh played for the team, he managed to accumulate just 61 runs, failing to deliver the explosive batting displays expected of him. His highest score of 20 against Punjab was followed by meager contributions of 23, 18, and a disappointing two-ball duck. In the following games, he has picked up only one wicket in the IPL 2024 with a bowl.

"They've been managing his rehab for a couple of weeks now. I spoke to him the other day and it seems it's taken a little longer than he first thought to get over it. I don't think the T20 World Cup would be an issue." Ricky Ponting added via ESPN
