IPL 2024: 'They Opened For Australia...', Says Ganguly On DC's Opting For Warner, Marsh As Opening Pair Vs PBKS
Delhi Capitals Sourav Ganguly: Director of Cricket for Delhi Capitals Sourav Ganguly shed light on the rationale behind Delhi Capitals (DC) opting for an all-Australian opening combination of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, sidelining the opener Prithvi Shaw, in their tournament opener against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2024.
Marsh partnering Warner at the top against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their season opener in Mullanpur, raised eyebrows, as many were surprised by the omission of Prithvi Shaw despite his retention in the team prior to the mini-auction in December.
"Prithvi Shaw is an opener. We decided to open with Marsh and Warner and Ricky Bhui is a middle-order batter. So, they bat at different positions. So it's actually not Bhui for sure. It's a different opening combination, they opened for Australia and they have done well together. So, we decided to do that," Ganguly told the reporters ahead of DC' match against Rajasthan Royals.
