Du Plessis will be available for selection after missing five matches due to injury.
Du Plessis will be available for selection after missing five matches due to injury. Young Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk confirmed the development in the pre-match presser in Delhi on Saturday (April 26).
“I think he’s available tomorrow, from my understanding. He should be available for selection, is my understanding," Fraser-McGurk told reporters.
According to a CricketNext report, Faf du Plessis spent a lot of time in the nets on the eve of the game at the Arun Jaitley stadium.
Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has been out of favor in recent matches, also shared insight into Axar Patel’s leadership and the conversation DC skipper had with him regarding the form.
“We were having dinner after a game and he says, ‘You’ve got so many more opportunities, there’s going to be so many more times that you play for this franchise that you can succeed for us.’ The good thing is that we’re winning and we’re winning well and we’re winning in ways that we want to win. So what he says is, ‘Just keep smiling’. He always says keep smiling to everyone, not just me. He’s one of those guys where he’s so relaxed in all these situations it feels like you’re talking to one of your best friends instead of the captain. So he’s been awesome," Fraser-McGurk added.
“Akshar is just one of those players who leads everyone and everyone follows him. He’s an amazing talent and the way he plays just makes everyone really proud to be at Delhi Capitals and he’s so calm and relaxed at any point in time. We saw during that Super Over a few games back, he was very relaxed and very calm like he’s done it a thousand time,s but I’m not sure how many times he’s done it. We love playing under Akshar and we think he’s one of the best players in our team that we can follow and he can be a leader," the youngster further remarked.
