IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Delhi Capitals (DC) might use the Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



IPL 2022: The Delhi based franchise has been on a consistent peak in the last couple of years. It would be fair to say that the change in the captaincy and branding has worked for them. The franchise handed over the reins to Shreyas Iyer and since then the team has completely changed.



They reached their maiden IPL final last year and in the Vivo IPL 2021, they looked a tough contender for the IPL title.



With a lot of big names on the side, the franchise would have to use their Right To Match (RTM) cards wisely and on the right player. Delhi believes in investing and nurturing the youngsters on the side.



In this article, we will take a look at three most probable options in front of the Delhi franchise to use a Right To Match (RTM) card.

<h2>3 Players on whom Delhi Capitals (DC) might use the Right To Match (RTM) card:&nbsp;</h2>



<h3>Prithvi Shaw:</h3>



The young Indian opener will be the number one choice for the Capitals to use the Right To Match (RTM) card. Prithvi Shaw is an impact player for DC, he gave multiple blistering starts in the Vivo IPL 2021 and scored a couple of half-centuries. He is surely a good future option for the franchise and it will be important to retain him.&nbsp;



Saw scored 308 runs in just seven games for DC. He is also fourth in the list of highest run-getters in the Vivo IPL 2021. Apart from this, he has definitely devoted time to his shortcomings and has found a way to get through them. The results of which are displayed through the recent Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Vivo IPL 2021.



<h3>Anrich Nortje:</h3>



The South African pacer had a good outing in the IPL 2020 which was held in UAE. Although, he didn't get a single game in this edition's IPL due to the presence of Indian bowlers who did really well throughout. It will be a good choice for DC to pick him as a backup pacer.



He troubled the batsman with his express pace and perfect execution in the IPL 2020. Along with his South African compatriot Kagiso Rabada, he became effective and won games for the franchise.



DC might retain him through the Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction.



<h3>Shikhar Dhawan:</h3>



The Indian southpaw, Shikhar Dhawan gave a befitting reply to all those who said that he cannot play T20 Cricket. Dhawan opening the innings was the main building block of Delhi?s success in all these years.



In the last two years, Dhawan has scored massive runs and won games for DC. In just 8 games in the Vivo IPL 2021, he amassed 380 runs and was the leading run-scorer for the tournament.



Under the coaching of Ricky Ponting, he has improved his techniques and takes time initially to settle him up and access the pitch. It's really unfortunate to see him getting dropped from the Indian side in the shortest format despite scoring runs in bulk.

Vivo IPL 2021: The Indian Premier League (IPL) bound South African cricketers have landed in the UAE after wrapping up their national duties. The likes of Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje marked their presence and have been directly included in the bio-bubble of the teams.



The aforementioned players returned after completing their international commitments with Sri Lanka. The two countries played limited-overs series in the island nation and have made a bubble to bubble transfer.



The franchises took to social media handles to inform the arrival of the Protea fire in the UAE.



Wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock represents Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL while Paceman Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje ply their trade for Delhi Capitals (DC).

De Kock managed to score 155 runs in his first outing in the IPL 2021 from six innings at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 117. Initially, he looked out of touch however as the game progressed, he showed his real class and took his side over the lines multiple times.

Kagiso Rabada managed to scalp eight wickets from seven matches for DC in the first leg. The pacer had an economy of 8.76 in seven matches. On the other hand, Nortje didn?t get the opportunity to show his skills in the first half.

DC Full Players List in IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise officials would certainly have spent several sleepless nights deciding their top four retention players. The star-studded squad filled evenly with the young guns and experience has been dismantled with just four players remaining in the squad, right now. Delhi zeroed on to retain four players, three Indians and one overseas, and this article will lead you through DC Full Players List in IPL 2022 - Retained, Released, Updated Squad after Mega Auction.



The franchise has decided to retain wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant as the leader of the side following a sensational breakthrough season for the southpaw.

In the stiff competition between two South African pacers Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada, the officials weighted more on the raw pace of the former.

South African pacer Anrich Nortje ruled out of three test matches against India.



SAvsIND: In a massive blow to the South African bowling lineup, pace gun Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the upcoming three matches test series against India following a ?persistent? injury, Cricket South Africa (CSA) informed on Tuesday.



Though the cricket board didn?t specify the nature or the seriousness of the injury, reports suggest that Anrich Nortje will remain unavailable for the three matches ODI series.



The South Africa vs India three matches test series will begin on Boxing Day (26th December) in SuperSport Park Centurian.



"Proteas bowler, Anrich Nortje, has been ruled out of the three-match, Betway Test series against India, due to a persistent injury," CSA said in a statement.

https://twitter.com/OfficialCSA/status/1473219481266794498
</div></figure>



CSA further in the statement specified that it won?t add any replacement for the pacer in the test squad.



"He has unfortunately not recovered adequately for the expected Test match bowling loads and is currently consulting with specialists to manage and advise on his recovery. No replacement will be brought in," it added.



It is noteworthy that Anrich Nortje has featured in 12 test matches for his national side South Africa in which he has scalped 47 wickets including three five-wicket hauls.



In the absence of Nortje, the South African pace attack seems to be a little underwhelming. Moreover, his compatriot Kagiso Rabada?s form in the red-ball format has taken a dip in the recent past. However, it will be interesting to see how Rabada adjusts with his line and lengths in the upcoming test series.

SAvsIND: South African pacer Anrich Nortje ruled out of three test matches against India

south-african-pacer-anrich-nortje-ruled-out-of-three-test-matches-against-india

Delhi Capitals Anrich Nortje doubtful for IPL 2022, not yet recovered from his injury: South African express pacer Anrich Nortje is highly doubtful for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he hasn?t yet recovered from his hip injury. Nortje has not featured in any international game since the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE.



Delhi Capitals (DC) retained Anrich Nortje ahead of the Tata IPL 2022 Mega Auction for INR 6.5 Crore.



Owing to his hip injury, the speedster was ruled out of the Test series against New Zealand and India. The pacer hasn?t bowled since the 2021 edition?s T20 World Cup.



Nortje is also not named in South Africa?s ODI squad against Bangladesh, which is a clear indication of his slow recovery from a hip injury. Bangladesh is slated to tour South Africa for three ODIs and two test matches, tour starting on March 18.



It seems that the pacer won?t be able to recover on time to participate in the Tata IPL 2022, which will get underway on March 26.



"It's probably going to be difficult [for Nortje to go to the IPL," ESPNcricinfo quoted CSA's selection convenor Victor Mpitsang as saying.



"He has not really been bowling much since November. We don't have any timeframe on his return. It's been a long one. The medical team will give advice on whether he will be cleared for the IPL."



Nortje?s injury concern would be a major setback for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Tata IPL 2022. He was a key bowler who played a large role in Delhi Capital?s success in the last two editions.

<h2>IPL bound 8 cricketers named in SA squad for ODIs:</h2>



Meanwhile, Cricket South Africa has also named its ODI squad for the three matches against Bangladesh. As many as 8 IPL bound players have been named in the squad.



The likes of Quinton de Kock, Marco Jansen, Kagiso Rabada, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Dwaine Pretorius and Rassie van der Dussein are selected for the ODI series which will start on March 18th. The final ODI will be held on March 23.



Following the completion of the three matches ODI series, South Africa and Bangladesh will play two test matches, starting March 31.



Earlier, South African test skipper Dean Elgar clearly stated that he will try to persuade its countrymen to prioritise test cricket over their IPL contracts. He further added that the upcoming challenge will examine South African players? loyalty.

Delhi Capitals Anrich Nortje doubtful for IPL 2022, not yet recovered from his injury

delhi-capitals-anrich-nortje-doubtful-for-ipl-2022-not-yet-recovered-from-his-injury

Possible Replacements of Anrich Nortje in Delhi Capitals (DC) for IPL 2022: Weeks ahead to the start of the TATA IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals (DC) has sustained a massive blow as their premier pacer Anrich Nortje is reportedly going to miss the elite T20 tournament due to his hip injury which he sustained during the last T20 World Cup in the UAE. The Delhi based Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise retained the services of Anrich Nortje for INR 6.5 Crores ahead of the mega auction.



Cricket South Africa (CSA) hasn?t named Anrich Nortje in its ODI squad that will be facing Bangladesh, which gives a clear indication of the pacer?s unavailability. Nortje is also unlikely to be named in the test squad of South Africa.



It?s noteworthy that Anrich Nortje was instrumental in the little success that Delhi achieved in the last two seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The express pacer scalped 22 wickets in IPL 2020 while 12 wickets in the recently concluded season of the cash-rich league.



It would be a massive loss for the Capitals if Anrich Nortje gets ruled out of the entire Tata IPL 2022. If the reports are to be believed, Nortje is certainly not going to play in the first half of the tournament, but if he recuperates well, he might be available for the second half.



If the South African seamer gets ruled out, DC would have to rope in a quality replacement for him.

Australia?s Andrew Tye, Kane Richardson and Sri Lanka?s Lahiru Kumara are the three possible players who can be roped in as the replacement by Delhi Capitals.



Andrew Tye has rich prior experience of playing in the Indian Premier League and is the most probable pacer to be called in as the replacement among the other two named. He has been an Orange Cap winner in the IPL 2018. The pacer has scalped 40 wickets in 27 IPL matches.



Kane Richardson will be another Aussie player who can be called in as the replacement. The pacer has featured in 15 IPL games wherein he scalped 19 wickets.&nbsp;



The third choice for Delhi Capitals would be Sri Lankan Lahiru Kumara. The pacer though is the consistent face of the Sri Lankan national side, he hasn?t managed to successfully fetch an IPL contract.&nbsp;



He went unsold during the recent IPL auction at a base price of INR 50 Lakhs. In 19 T20I matches for Sri Lanka, Kumara has picked up 23 wickets.

IPL bound South African players confirmed to be available for the entire IPL 2022: The Indian Premier League (IPL) bound Protea players are now confirmed to take part in the lucrative IPL 2022 for an entire season. The development came after Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced its second string test squad against Bangladesh on Thursday.



The likes of Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje will miss the test series against Bangladesh and fly to India for the upcoming edition of the Tata IPL 2022, which starts on March 26th.



Cricket South Africa (CSA), earlier, disclosed that they will give their players complete authority to participate in the IPL 2022. The cricket board further said that it will be up to players on whether they want to take part in the test series or feature in the IPL in India.



The likes of Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen will also not be available for the upcoming two matches test series against Bangladesh. Starting March 31.



It?s important to note that there is a clear agreement between the player?s union and CSA to not restrict the players to participate in the IPL or even any cricket league across the world.

?The loss of the IPL players is not ideal, but we back the CSA system, its ever growing pipeline and most of all, the players we have selected,? Convenor of Selectors Victor Mpitsang was quoted by The Times of India.



Earlier SA test skipper Dean Elgar had said that he would try to persuade its countrymen to not participate in the IPL and prioritise national duties first. Elgar wanted a full-fledged South African test squad to face Bangladesh in the two games test series, but the contracted players choose otherwise.

With the change in colours of the ball and clothing, India, mostly with a different set of personnel, will be keen to live up to its World champion’s tag in the five-match T20I series against England, dubbed as ‘SKYball’ vs ‘Bazball,’ and redeem some pride following its Test series debacle in home and away against New Zealand and Australia respectively.


India’s winning streak in the shortest format of the game has seen them wrap up every bilateral T20 series since August 2023 and captain Suryakumar Yadav will look to build on his new-look team’s success before their co-hosted T20 World Cup in February 2026.

The focus will also be on coach Gautam Gambhir, who has faced some criticism after the two Test series defeats. The doughty Delhiite, who coached India to T20 series wins over Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, has captained and mentored Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to title wins in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and will look forward to his familiar turf and format to guide India to some positive results and revive his credibility.

The contests between both sides have been closely matched, with India winning 13 of their 24 matches in the shortest format, including the last one at the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Guyana.
England have beaten India in the remaining 11 T20 games.

Although the records says that both team have almost equal chances for being winner 
But if we see slightly deep the chances for Indian team will be more to win series because of their previous few series records state that Indian have more chances of being sealing this series.


Teams (from)
India (from): Suryakumar Yadav (capt.), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (v-capt.), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (wk).
England: Jos Buttler (capt.), Ben Duckett, Phil Salt (wk), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.

Suryakumar Yadav stole the limelight after he was appointed as the captain of the team in the T20I after the T20 World Cup 2024. After Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest format of the game, it was almost certain that Hardik Pandya would become the captain of the team in the format. 
This was because he captained the team regularly and also was the vice-captain. But in what was a sudden change of plans, Suryakumar Yadav was appointed as the captain of the team. It made many share their take on the same and lash out at the BCCI and Rohit Sharma for the same. 
Suryakumar Yadav, who is the No.1 ranked batter in the T20Is, was allowed to lead the team. The skipper since then has been doing the job well, and the main focus has been on the relationship between the captain and Hardik Pandya, who was robbed of the leadership. 
Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya have been bonding pretty well together since then. Both have shown great camaraderie on the field, and it has been quite evident as well. Their relationship was asked by the reporters ahead of the first T20I against England.
