Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner expressed his delight as their team’s stolen bats and kit bags were recovered and handed over to the team ahead of their clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Earlier, Delhi Capitals players lost sixteen bats, along with pads and shoes including gloves that went missing from players’ kit bags following their game against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The franchise hired a logistics company that is responsible for that team’s kit bags to be flown in advance to other cities in the country. According to reports, the bats stolen were from the kit bags of their skipper David Warner, star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, England’s Phil Salt, and Indian youngster Yash Dhull.

David Warner took to his social media account to share a photo of the bats that were found and confirmed that a few of them were still not found.

The players were shocked to know about the missing bats and kits when they received their kit bags in the hotel ahead of their practice session before their game against Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals management lodged a formal complaint on the missing items, on which action was taken and kits were recovered swiftly.

In their game against KKR, their skipper David Warner went all guns blazing in chase of 128 runs in the powerplay to score at a quick pace for his side, as the wicket fell on the other side, as they lost Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt, and Manish Pandey in the quick time putting the team in struggling position.

Kolkata Knight Riders bowled 16 overs of spin for their 20 overs and with 7 runs to win in the final over, Axar Patel showed his experience to complete the chase with 4 balls to spare to register their 1st win in the league stage.

David Warner-side Will Look To Continue Their Winning Run Against Sunrisers Hyderabad

David Warner-led side registered their 1st victory against the two-time champions on home soil at Arun Jaitley stadium on April 20. The Australian southpaw was handed the responsibility to lead the Delhi team, which didn’t go according to the plan as they have had a poor start in the last few years.

Delhi Capitals have collectively failed in the initial games of the league as they were outplayed in the first five matches of IPL 2023 before registering their 1st victory against the two-time champions.

David Warner-led side will take on 2016 Champions Sunrisers Hyderabad in their 7th league game on April 24 on Monday and they will look to build on their winning moment against the Aiden Markram-led side.
