Ranji 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.

Ranji Trophy 2024: Why did he leave Delhi, how was the atmosphere in the dressing room there, Nitish Rana told the reason

Nitish Rana (Pic Source-Twitter) Indian batsman Nitish Rana ended his 10-year stint with Delhi last year and is currently captaining Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy 2024. Meanwhile, recently Rana told why he left the Delhi team. They Said that he was not happy with the atmosphere in the dressing room. Rana claimed that after joining Uttar Pradesh, he is now getting the respect he deserves. Nitish Rana told the reason for leaving Delhi team While talking to Cricbuzz, Nitish Rana said, “What was going on in my mind was that the atmosphere in the dressing room of Delhi team was not good for my career. I felt that change was necessary for my career. I had always looked towards UP as an elite team and I also knew the people here. Luckily I found that team where I am getting respect.” Let us tell you that Nitish Rana made his first class debut while playing for Delhi in 2015-16. He represented the team in 43 first class matches for Delhi. Nitish Rana scored more than 2 thousand first class runs for Delhi.

I made a big mistake by ignoring red ball cricket Nitish Rana told after the second day’s play how his attention had shifted from red ball cricket during Covid. He said, I like to perform when the team is in trouble. During Covid, when IPL was held in two phases, I had shifted my focus a bit from red ball cricket. Because of this I had lagged far behind. This year I worked hard for red ball cricket, so that I could prove not to anyone else but to myself that I am a good player in Test cricket too. It was my mistake that I was not focusing on red ball cricket. Many people started raising questions on me that I would not be able to play the longer format but I ignored their words. Ever since I left the Delhi team and joined UP, it has been my endeavor to perform well in red ball cricket again.
