IPL 2019: Amit Mishra Believes Shikhar Dhawan's Inclusion Will Help Delhi Capitals

After a fine time, Shikhar Dhawan will be back to his home-based franchise in Indian Premier League. He has been traded from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Delhi Capitals for the upcoming edition of the tournament. Meanwhile, the senior player of the side, Amit Mishra is confident of Dhawan doing well for the franchise.

Sunrisers will miss the services of Shikhar Dhawan, who has been pretty extraordinary for the team over the years. However, Dhawan would be happy to get back to his local team, who are desperately waiting for the coveted Trophy.

In exchange,  Sunrisers Hyderabad received the services of Shahbaz Nadeem, Vijay Shankar, and youngster Abhishek Sharma. Perhaps, it would be a good deal for both the sides, as all the players are in brilliant form.

Shikhar Dhawan is a local lad –

Speaking of the inclusion, Amit Mishra quoted that he is looking forward to joining him again. They both played together for the Hyderabad franchise. Dhawan being the local lad, Mishra believes that he could well be an asset for the team.

“Looking forward for him (Dhawan) joining the team,” Mishra told HindustanTimes in an exclusive conversation. “He is a local lad and has been doing really well for Team India.”

Further, he went on to add saying that the inclusion of Dhawan will bring left-right combination at the top for the team. Most probably, it would be Prithvi Shaw, who could be opening the innings with Dhawan for the team.

”I hope he brings similar sort of performances for DC and wins games for us this season. We are getting a good opener in him and a right hand-left hand combination at the top will surely help in balancing the side,” he added.

We are excited for the new season – Amit Mishra

Mishra also quoted that the team is really pumped up for the upcoming season. They put on a flop show in IPL 2018 but Amit Mishra quoted that they are very determined to get perform as a unit in the upcoming edition and yield results.

”We are very excited for the new season. The team is new, the name is new and there is a lot of positive vibe around. There are a lot of new faces and the team is looking very balanced. Everybody is very excited to do well this season,” Mishra,” Mishra inferred.

Well, it would be interesting to see how things would pan out for Shikhar Dhawan in the upcoming season. Most probably, Delhi Capitals would be a determining unit to bag the trophy, as they never touched it so far in the IPL history.
