DTVHINDIRanji Trophy 2024: Experienced fast bowler returns to Delhi team, has played 100 tests for India
Veteran Indian cricketer Ishant Sharma is set to feature in Delhi’s upcoming clash against Baroda in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. Ahead of his return to the Indian team, Ishant has been focusing on red ball cricket and played for Delhi against Puducherry. However, he could not take advantage of the opportunity and the visiting team won by nine wickets. After a break of almost a month, the 35-year-old is ready to make a comeback and may get a chance to replace Prince Yadav in the playing eleven. He will lead the fast bowling unit along with Navdeep Saini and Himanshu Chauhan. Meanwhile, Ishant’s return will strengthen Delhi’s bowling line-up, which is going through a bad phase. Delhi team is currently at sixth position in the Elite Group D points table. However, their recent win over Uttarakhand should give them some confidence ahead of them in the upcoming fixtures. The team’s new captain Himmat Singh played a memorable inning of 194 runs in the last match, while Yash Dhull and Lakshya Thareja made important contributions in the first and second innings respectively. Saini, Hrithik Shaukeen and Himanshu Chauhan looked impressive in the bowling, which is another plus point for the team. The cold and humid weather in Delhi is expected to help the fast bowlers and Ishant’s experience here will come in handy for the team as he is used to playing in such conditions. The fast bowler will be desperate to prove his worth and get back into the national team, which is already loaded with quality fast bowlers. Meanwhile, the toss was delayed due to bad light. If the sun does not shine during the match and there is moisture under the pitch, then fast bowlers can get a lot of expectations from the pitch. However, it depends on when and if the game starts. There is also a possibility of rain on the third day of the match.

Bumrah was one of the successful bowlers for India, taking six wickets in both innings in the shock 28-run defeat against England in the first Test.

Bumrah has been in great form since his return from injury last year and is the fourth leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets.

Get. But in Test cricket you will not get flat wickets, the ball will bounce, the ball will spin, so Gill will have to work on his footwork and I am sure he will make the necessary changes and score runs again.” In the first test in Hyderabad England Speaking about India’s batting performance against India, Kaif pointed out that the set batsmen did not convert fifties into centuries which was a big mistake. 43-year-old Kaif has said, “Most of the Indian batsmen got good starts in the first innings, but to score big in Test cricket, you have to stay on the wicket and play according to the situation. I am sure head coach Rahul Dravid must have talked to him about this.” During the conversation, Kaif also said that the ability of Indian batsmen to play spin has reduced considerably. Referring to debutant Tom Hartley’s seven wickets in the second innings, he said that this young player learned from the Indian spinners and was the most important contributor to England’s 28-run victory.
