After their game in Bengaluru, Capitals players found their kits missing some gear in Delhi, including 16 bats, shoes, thigh pads and pads. These equipment belonged to Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt and Yash Dhull. It is understood the Capitals had hired a logistics company to execute the transportation of the kit and equipment across venues for the IPL's duration.
This is the second positive news for the Capitals in two days. They had won their first IPL 2023 match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday. Even though they stay last on the points table, they have some momentum going into their next fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 24.
