In a move to inspire future cricketing talent, the Delhi Capitals (DC) hosted 300 youngsters from their Academy during a training session on Tuesday. This special event allowed the aspiring players to witness their IPL heroes in action ahead of their crucial match against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on Wednesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
DC Academy Kids Witness First-Hand Experience
The 300 DC Academy participants, according to a press release issued by the franchise, were treated to an unforgettable experience. They had the privilege of watching Rishabh Pant and his teammates train from close quarters, gaining valuable insights into the preparation process of professional cricketers.
The young players’ day wasn’t limited to just watching the on-field action. They also had the opportunity to interact with the legendary DC coaching staff, including Head Coach Ricky Ponting and Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly, who were present in the stands.
This interaction with cricketing greats likely provided the youngsters with invaluable advice and motivation to pursue their own cricketing dreams.
Witnessing Warner’s Class and Young Talent
The aspiring cricketers were also mesmerized by the dazzling display of established stars like David Warner, whose free-flowing stroke play is a treat to watch for any cricket enthusiast. They also got a glimpse of the raw power of rising star Jake Fraser-McGurk, who impressed everyone with his colossal sixes in the nets.
The Delhi Capitals Academy was established with the specific goal of scouting and nurturing young cricketing talent across India. This initiative seems to be bearing fruit, as evidenced by the inclusion of DC Academy graduates Yash Dhull and Anuj Rawat in the current IPL season. Their presence in the IPL is a testament to the academy’s success in identifying and developing future stars.
While the young players were undoubtedly inspired by the training session, the Delhi Capitals themselves will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Currently sitting in eighth place on the IPL 2024 points table with three wins in eight games, DC will be determined to secure a victory against the Gujarat Titans to climb the rankings.
