Indian speedster Ishant Sharma is all set to return to the domestic circuit after a dazzling stint with the ball in South Africa for the Test series. Ishant missed out the first Test against Proteas eyeing fever, but returned to duties for the second and third Test and produced a magnificent performance to give the host hard time. Indian bowlers were able to tumble South African batting lineup in both all three Test encounters, and one will have to say, Ishant played a pivotal role.

The premier one-day tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy has already begun a few days back, and Delhi Team is looking rock-solid to clinch another title. They have already got their hands on the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy under the leadership of newly appointed skipper Pradeep Sangwan. They will be looking to continue the good stint and produce another good run in 50 overs encounter.

Ishant will take the charge straightaway

Ishant Sharma, who was appointed as the skipper for this tournament but withdrew for the first two games, as he wanted some rest after a superlative series against South Africa. If the reports are to be believed, he will join the team ahead of their match against Maharashtra.

Either of Navdeep Saini or Kulwant Khejroliya will have to make way for Ishant, as chances of Delhi going with two spin bowling all-rounders looks even. However, if Delhi opts to play four seamers viz Ishant, Sangwan, Khejroliya and, Sani, it would be one of Manan Sharma or Pawan Negi who would have to miss out the all-important game against Maharashtrians.

Currently, Delhi Team has occupied the second spot in Group B, just after Maharashtra, who too have two wins from the games they have played. It will be interesting to see whether Ishant’s presence and Unmukt Chand’s dazzling form help Delhi to outclass the strong looking side.
