The Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling attack is about to get a major boost with the news that South African speedster Anrich Nortje is set to return in their next match against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). This is a welcome development for the Delhi franchise, who have been eagerly awaiting the return of their pace spearhead.
Nortje’s absence in the first match of the season was a significant blow for DC.
As seen in the welcome video posted by the Delhi Capitals on Twitter, the team is clearly excited to have Nortje back in their ranks. His raw pace and wicket-taking ability were sorely missed in the opening encounter, where DC’s bowling attack struggled to contain the opposition batsmen.

Reports suggest that Nortje’s return could come at the expense of pacer Khaleel Ahmed, who had a mixed outing in the first match. While Ahmed did pick up two wickets, his economy rate was on the higher side. Nortje’s return will provide DC with a much-needed X-factor in their bowling attack, especially against a strong batting lineup like the Punjab Kings.
The upcoming clash against PBKS is a crucial one for DC. After a narrow defeat in their opening match, they will be looking to bounce back and register their first win of the season. Nortje’s presence will undoubtedly bolster their bowling attack and give them a better chance of securing victory.
The return of Anrich Nortje is a positive sign for the Delhi Capitals. With his express pace and wicket-taking ability, he is a game-changer who can turn the tide of any match. His inclusion adds depth and experience to the DC bowling attack, making them a force to be reckoned with in the IPL 2024 season.
