IPL 2022: 10 Players who could’ve been used better by other teams

4. Mitchell Marsh by SRH

A lot has been said about the talent and capabilities of Mitchell Marsh for some years now. He has improved his game in the recent 18 months or so. He has been exceptional in the T20 format for Australia in the past couple of years. Marsh was the “Player of the Tournament” of the 2021 T20 world cup and contributed significantly with both, bat and ball. He is an all-rounder who can win games single-handedly and is certainly an asset in the franchise cricket sphere.

Mitchell Marsh currently plays for the Delhi Capitals and bats at number 3. He is a player who enjoys freedom when batting and that doesn’t seem to be the case in the DC camp. After one of their dashing openers – David Warner or Prithvi Shaw departs he seems to bat with a lot on his head and that is not his natural game. He flourishes when he is given the license to attack and not when he is given a responsibility to build the innings. Mitchell Marsh has not been used as expected by the Delhi Capitals maybe because they aren’t very confident about their middle order.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is a team that could have used Marsh efficiently. They lack some firepower in their batting department. Even though Nicholas Pooran has been excellent with the bat, Marsh in their middle order might have added some depth and power to their batting line-up. Marsh might have played the role that they expected from Washington Sundar but Sundar met with an injury and missed some matches too. Marsh has been with the SRH set-up in the past and that might have added to Marsh’s and SRH’s advantage.
