Mitchell Marsh of Australia had a memorable Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season with the Delhi Capitals, despite the franchise failing to make the play-offs. Marsh scored 251 runs in eight games, including two half-centuries, and was one of DC’s better players this season. Marsh has struggled with injuries in recent seasons, and this year was no exception. He came into the tournament nursing an injury, and after finally playing a match, he contracted COVID-19.
However, after his recovery, the 30-year-old was able to return strong and put in a good shift with both bat and ball.
Marsh told cricket.com.au that the rocky start to the season made him feel “cursed” in India. Given his history of injuries.

IPL 2022 Campaign: “I thought I was cursed in India after my first couple of weeks there.” Marsh said.
“I got through my initial injury – which was minor – but then to play one game and get COVID, it was a bit of a shaky start but once I got going it was nice to put a few consistent performances on the board,” he said, adding, “I absolutely loved my time there.”
He also praised Ricky Ponting, the former Australia captain who is now the head coach of the Delhi Capitals.
“Everyone talks about him and what he’s accomplished in the game, but I got a real sense of how much he cares about his players – I guess that’s probably what he was like as a captain and team leader,” he said.
“Just the way he makes you feel – he made me feel like I was a vital member of the Delhi team. When a leader instills that kind of confidence in you, you gain confidence “Marsh stated.
