Delhi Capitals went into their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 encounter against Mumbai Indians on Sunday with just two foreigners available out of the seven they bought in the mega auction. New Zealand’s Tim Seifert and West Indies all-rounder Rovman Powell were the only foreign additions.
Delhi Capitals are missing the services of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh as they are currently playing for Australia in Pakistan while South Africa fast bowler Andre Nortje is currently recovering from an injury. Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman and Lungi Ngidi are also not available.
This was the second time in the history of the IPL when a team fielded just two overseas players in their playing XI. The first instance was way back in 2011 when Kolkata Knight Riders fielded Jacques Kallis and Eoin Morgan against Mumbai Indians in their first game of the season.
