The Delhi Capitals (DC) received a significant boost on Monday with the arrival of South African speedster Anrich Nortje ahead of their crucial IPL 2024 match against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday.
Anrich Nortje Returns After Injury
Anrich Nortje was absent from DC’s opening match of the season against the Punjab Kings due to a lingering injury. The fast bowler missed several key tournaments for South Africa in the past year, including the 2023 ODI World Cup, the home series against India, and the recent SA20 2024 season.
Anrich Nortje Gearing Up for Return
Anrich Nortje’s return to competitive cricket began earlier this month with the CSA T20 Challenge in South Africa, featuring in three matches for the Warriors. He has now arrived in India to join the DC camp.
Availability Still Uncertain for IPL 2024
While Anrich Nortje’s presence bolsters the DC bowling attack, the team management has not yet confirmed when he will be ready to take the field. This leaves the fans guessing about his potential debut for the Delhi Capitals in the upcoming match against the Rajasthan Royals.
Boost for Delhi Capitals pace attack
Anrich Nortje’s return is undoubtedly a positive development for the Delhi Capitals. His fiery pace and wicket-taking ability will be a valuable asset to their bowling line-up, especially considering the challenges they might face against a strong batting team like the Rajasthan Royals.
