The young wicket keeper and batsman of Bengal, Abhishek Porel, has become an important part of the batting unit of the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League season 2024, but the attacking left-handed batsman was not even going to start in the playing 11 when the tournament got started, as revealed by the star player of the Australian cricket team, David Warner.
In the first game of Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings, Porel was named among the five impact players, but the management of the team planned to include Mukesh Kumar in the second innings as they were batting first. But in the midway point, things changed as Delhi lost quick wickets, and in order to have a decent total on the board, Abhishek was brought in as an impact player.
This move worked really well, as Abhishek smashed unbeaten 32 runs in only nine balls and never looked back.
The 21-year-old player has been scoring at a strike rate of 162 in the ongoing season of IPL. Warner, in a statement, said that Abhishek has been playing really well. He was not even going to play in the first game for the team, but we had lost some early wickets, and then he came in as an impact player. Warner said that he thought he had nine balls or something, and he got nine balls or something, and he got 30 odd runs that changed the game said that he thought he had nine balls or something, and he got nine balls or something, and he got 30 odd runs that changed the game for the team, and then the other day as well, he played really well, and he is going to be a very well, and he is going to be a very good player.
The Delhi Capitals have won three out of the total eight matches that they have played till now, and they are looking forward to turning things around in the remaining matches of this season of the IPL.
Currently, they are at number 8 in the points table with only three victories in eight matches. If they want to qualify for the playoffs, then they need to win the remaining 5 matches out of the total 6 matches. Even David Warner agreed that they had not been at their best this season.
While reflecting on the performance, David said that we were not where we wanted to be for the sake of the team. We would like to win more matches, but we have got to win the next remainder in order to complete the finals. So forever, team, it is about doing as best as we can, and hopefully we will be able to play each game like we did against the Gujarat Titans.
