Delhi Capitals’ head coach Hemang Badani has shown confidence in Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk despite his struggles with form, citing the team’s strong performance in the competition as a reason to give him more opportunities. Badani emphasized Fraser-McGurk’s ability to provide strong starts and be a match-winner, expressing optimism that he will come good at any moment.
On the other hand, Gujarat Titans’ assistant coach Ashish Kapoor stood by leg-spinner Rashid Khan, acknowledging that his performance has not been up to par in the past two seasons. Kapoor attributed Rashid’s decline to a change in his bowling action after undergoing a back surgery post the 2023 ODI World Cup. He highlighted the adjustments Rashid needs to make to improve his bowling, specifically focusing on the positioning of his front hand.
Despite Rashid’s recent struggles, Kapoor remains hopeful that the leg-spinner will regain his confidence, find his form, and return to his previous level of performance. With both teams gearing up to face each other in an upcoming match, the coaches’ faith in their struggling players reflects the importance of backing players during tough times and the belief that they will bounce back stronger.
