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.

IND vs ENG: “Bumrah will get injured soon due to absence of Shami” – Know what Jasprit Bumrah said
Jasprit Bumrah performed brilliantly with the ball in the first test match against England. Irfan Pathan and Jasprit Bumrah. (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan believes that the injury will not affect Bumrah due to the absence of Mohammed Shami. Pathan said that his action is now perfect so he does not need to worry too much about the injury. Shami has been out of action since the 2023 ODI World Cup due to an ankle injury, while Bumrah returned after suffering a stress fracture in August last year after being away from cricket for 11 months. 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. Speaking to PTI TV, Irfan Pathan admitted that Shami’s absence was affecting the team, but also said that there was no risk of injury to Bumrah. Bumrah gave a big statement regarding the absence of Mohammed Shami and Bumrah. Pathan said, “Obviously Shami’s absence will have an impact but it does not mean that the chances of Bumrah getting injured will increase. His action is absolutely perfect now. When there is pressure from both sides, whether it is Shami taking wickets from one side or Bumrah working quietly. “On one hand, Bumrah is taking wickets and Shami is quietly working, their partnership not only reduces pressure on each other but is also good for the team.” Although the first Test was played on a spin-friendly wicket, Bumrah bowled around 25 overs on that pitch, of which he bowled 16.1 overs in the second innings. Bumrah has been in great form since his return from injury last year and is the fourth leading wicket-taker with 20 wickets. Bumrah also played a key role in India’s second Test win against South Africa in Cape Town, taking six wickets in the second innings.
