The IPL 2024 is going with all its glory. Teams are competing hard with each other in this tournament. In this tournament, Delhi Capitals is fighting hard. In DC’s campaign this year, Abhishek Porel is grabbing attention through his batting excellence. His teammate David Warner hailed him for his brilliance.
Abhishek Porel’s Performance:
Abishek Porel, the promising young wicketkeeper-batsman from Bengal, has emerged as a crucial asset for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024 season. During DC’s opening match against the Punjab Kings, Porel’s performance earned him recognition among the five Impact Players. Initially, the team management had planned to include Mukesh Kumar in the batting lineup for the second innings, as they were set to bat first. However, circumstances shifted when DC faced early setbacks, prompting a change in strategy. In a bid to bolster their total, Porel was brought in as an Impact Player.
This tactical move proved to be a stroke of genius as Porel showcased his batting prowess by smashing an unbeaten 32 runs from just nine deliveries. His explosive innings not only helped DC recover from their precarious position but also set the stage for a formidable total. Porel’s remarkable performance under pressure highlighted his ability to deliver when it mattered most, solidifying his position as a key player in the Delhi Capitals’ lineup.
David Warner’s Words on Him:
After watching Abhishek Porel, David Warner praised him. Warner said, “Abishek Porel has been outstanding as. Abishek wasn’t even going to play in the first game, but we’d lost early wickets, and then came in as an impact player. I think he had nine balls or something and he got 30-odd runs. That changed the game and then the other day as well, he played very well. he is going to be a very good player.”
In this tournament, Delhi Capitals is standing in the 8th position. They have lost five matches and three registered wins in the other three matches. They have to win their remaining matches to qualify for the knockout stage. David Warner focused on that, he said, “We’re not where we want to be for the team’s sake. We’d like to win a few more games. But we’ve got to win the next remainder to obviously compete in the finals. So for us, it’s about doing as best as we can. Hopefully, we can play each game like we did against Gujarat.”
Later he added, “We’ve got a little bit of improving to do, both with bat and the ball. If we can minimise the totals, it would be great. And then if we bat first, try and put a big total on the board and defend it.”
