New Delhi: Team captain David Warner confirmed on Friday that Delhi Capitals players have recovered bats, pads, gloves and other equipment that were stolen during a transport from Bengaluru to Delhi a few days ago.
While not every piece of kit was found, it was still a welcome development and a huge relief for the Delhi Capitals players.
Warner shared a story on Instagram featuring the recovered equipment, writing, “They found the culprit,” adding that “little items are still missing.”
Ahead of Delhi’s IPL 2023 match against Kolkata Knights (KKR), bats worth lakhs of rupees and other gear for the capital’s players were reportedly lost from their kits in transit.
After arriving in the capital following their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Delhi Capitals players discovered that some of their equipment including 16 bats, shoes, thigh pads and pads were missing.
The missing items belonged to Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt and Yash Dhull. They immediately reported the matter to franchise officials, who promptly filed a formal complaint.
This is the first time in the history of IPL.
