In fact, Ishant trained three of the last five days. He probably won&#8217;t bowl today. We&#8217;re pretty happy with what we&#8217;ve seen from him over the last couple of days with his bowling. As of now, he&#8217;s fit for selection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;David Warner had a few days off. He also did some batting yesterday in the nets for about 20 minutes. He&#8217;ll go through his final paces today. He&#8217;s still yet to be past fit, but from what I saw yesterday, he&#8217;s a whole lot better than he was a few days ago,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>With five wins and six losses, Delhi Capitals are currently in the sixth position of the points table. Speaking about the next match against Rajasthan Royals, the Australian legend stated, &#8220;Our last performance against Kolkata wasn&#8217;t one of our best, but we&#8217;re back home now. We&#8217;ve won two of our three games here. We know we&#8217;re coming up against a very good Rajasthan side, but as we&#8217;ve seen in the tournament so far if we can play our best cricket for 40 overs, then I&#8217;ll guarantee that we&#8217;ll be hard to beat. It doesn&#8217;t matter who we play or where we play them. We know that we can beat anybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talking about the pitch conditions for tomorrow, the Head Coach said, &#8220;Tomorrow, we go on to a wicket that we have used. It was a wicket that was used against the Sunrisers, which was a high-scoring game. We expect this one tomorrow will probably be a little bit slower. It might just give a little bit more to the spinners.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in their next match of IPL 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: Back from a short break, the rejuvenated JSW and GMR co-owned franchise Delhi Capitals are geared up to take on Rajasthan Royals in their 12th match of the IPL 2024 at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
