As the IPL 2024 enters its 43rd game, anticipation is building for the clash between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. Although both teams have faced challenges this season, they are fully prepared for the game ahead. However, Mumbai Indians suffered a setback ahead of the game against Delhi Capitals as Gerald Coetzee was ruled out of the game. In this article we look at the reasons for Coetzee’s absence from this game. Find out why Gerald Coetzee is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against DC.
Coetzee misses the game:
The 43rd match of the IPL 2024 will see the clash between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Mumbai Indians, looking to bounce back after a series of disappointments, face a defining moment ahead of their clash with Delhi Capitals. An interesting change occurred in MI’s style of play before facing DC.
Mumbai’s trusted bowler Gerald Coetzee missed the game. He played for the franchise in this tournament. Hardik Pandya revealed that Gerald Coetzee’s absence from the starting XI was due to a minor stomach illness. Hardik said, “. Just one change, Coetzee has a gastrointestinal illness, Luke Wood is coming in for him.” In his place, the Mumbai Indians have chosen English pacer Luke Wood, who will make only his second appearance in the Indian Premier League season .
In IPL 2024, England pacer Luke Wood played a single match where he bowled two overs and conceded 25 runs without taking a wicket. With a promising start, all eyes are on him making a significant impact in the remaining games.
Toss update:
Given the ongoing difficulties in the tournament, the upcoming game is of enormous importance for both teams. With determination in their hearts, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians prepare for the head-to-head clash when Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya wins the toss and decides to field first. After winning the toss, he said, “We will bowl first.” The ground is small. It’s better to bat second on smaller ground. Every game is a new game, we make sure we don’t get eliminated.
