In recent times, some incidents in India, especially the drone attacks from crossing Pakistan border have greatly affected foreign players. Australian bowler Mitchell Starc and his fellow player Jake Fraser-Mackgrak looked the most distracted by this situation. Both the players from Dharamshala to Delhi were particularly upset during the long and stressful bus and train journey, which also increased the concerns of the team management.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are now eyeing Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who has been included in the team in place of Jake Fraser-Macagark. Although there has been some controversy about his NOC, but it is expected that it will be available for the 29 -year -old left hand seamor team.
Mustafizur made his IPL debut in 2016 and has played 54 matches in seven sessions so far. Their experience and swing bowling are expected to strengthen Delhi Capitals.
