Mohit Sharma has featured in the IPL over the years. He played and developed his game under the captaincy of MS Dhoni at Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and is now set to play for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020. He was bought for his base price of 50 lakhs in the IPL 2020 auction and is ready to give his best.
Mohit said that Delhi Capitals have always been a very good side and opponents cannot take them lightly. He also added that there are a lot of youngsters in the side and under the mentorship of Ricky Ponting it is looking good.
“If we keep results aside, the Delhi team has always been very good. I have played in other teams and Delhi was always competitive. Back then, we always used to say that you can never take Delhi lightly. There are a lot of youngsters in the team, and even now why people are saying that Delhi is strong is because we have continued with those youngsters for two years now, so they are settled. The results were not (consistently) in our favour because the process to get desired results is a long one. That could be the reason,” Mohit Sharma was quoted as saying by TOI.
“But at the moment, the team is looking very strong and the kind of process that’s going on, the amount of hard work we are putting in, the way (Ricky) Ponting is guiding us or the way Ryan Harris is working with the bowlers, I think the results will be in our favour this season.”
Ricky Ponting is an extraordinary mind to have in the dressing room. Delhi Capitals players are reaping benefits from his time at the franchise as head coach. His impact on the team has also been quick as Delhi Capitals, studded with some young talents, went on to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in seven years in the last season of IPL.
Delhi Capitals have Shreyas Iyer leading fellow youngsters like Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant in their ranks. Senior India opener Shikhar Dhawan only adds to the experience of their squad. They will also be bolstered with the presence of premier India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the upcoming season of IPL.
