Australian batter David Warner has arrived in India to take part within the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. After a profitable Test sequence towards Pakistan, that Australia pocketed 1-0, he has joined the Delhi Capitals camp in Mumbai.
His addition will increase the staff’s prime order that has struggled to offer good begins within the event to date. In absence of David Warner, Tim Siefert paired up with Prithvi Shaw in DC’s final two encounters, towards Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. However, the opening pair managed partnerships of 30 and eight, respectively.

Warner took to social media on Sunday and shared an image of the Gateway of India. In the caption, he wrote, “Can you guess where I am now??”
Meanwhile, head coach Ricky Ponting is hoping that Warner and Mitchell Marsh, who’s nursing a hip harm, would be part of the staff quickly.
While addressing a press convention after a 14-run loss to Gujarat Titans on Saturday, the previous Australia skipper mentioned, “David Warner has arrived in Mumbai. He left early yesterday morning I believe, so he should be there when we get back to Mumbai tonight. Mitchell Marsh has been in Mumbai for a few days, obviously getting his quarantine done. I think he might be out of quarantine tomorrow actually.”

“We are hoping that he (Marsh) is going to be available for the game on 10th (against Kolkata Knight Riders). He picked up that slight hip flexor strain in Pakistan. So, we need to get a lot of treatment work into him and obviously a few good training sessions before he is available for selection.
“But fingers crossed, Davey should be there for the next game and Mitch Marsh for the game after,” he added.
Rishabh Pant-led DC will lock horns with Lucknow Super Giants of their subsequent fixture on April 7 at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.
