IPL 2024: 'Nortje Is Going To Keep Getting Better', Says DC Bowling Coach Hopes After 12-run Loss To RR
After Delhi Capitals: After Delhi Capitals (DC) suffered their second consecutive loss in the IPL 2024 through a 12-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday, bowling coach James Hopes believes tearaway pacer Anrich Nortje will keep getting better in coming matches.
Nortje was playing his first game of IPL 2024 and has recently returned to action following a long layoff due to stress fracture in the back. Though he took out Dhruv Jurel in the match, the South African pacer was at the receiving end of an onslaught from Riyan Parag, who hit him for three fours and two sixes in a 25-run final over as RR made 185/5.
"I won't say too much bad about the bowlers. They just tried to execute. It was a good first half with the ball but got away from us a little bit in the last five years. It's the first time that Nortje has been at this level in a while.
