Ishant Sharma will play for Delhi in their 2024 Ranji Trophy matchup against Baroda

Ishant Sharma, a seasoned cricketer from India, is expected to play in Delhi’s next Ranji Trophy match against Baroda. Ishant Sharma, who played for Delhi against Puducherry, is concentrating on red-ball cricket with the goal of rejoining the Indian squad. He was unable to take advantage of the chance, though, and the visitors prevailed by nine wickets.

The 35-year-old is scheduled to return after a nearly month-long absence, most likely taking Prince Yadav’s spot in the starting lineup. He will form the pace unit with Himanshu Chauhan and Navdeep Saini.

Delhi, who are now sixth in the Elite Group D points standings and are going through a difficult time, will greatly benefit from Ishant Sharma’s return.

But before they play the league leaders, their recent victory over Uttarakhand should instill some confidence in them. In the most recent game, newly chosen captain Himmat Singh scored a noteworthy 194 runs, and both Yash Dhull and Lakshay Thareja made useful contributions in the first and second innings, respectively. Another highlight for the team was the performance of the bowlers, Saini, Hrithik Shokeen, and Himanshu Chauhan.

Delhi’s chilly and wet weather is predicted to benefit the pacers, and Ishant Sharma’s background as a player in similar environments would help. The pacemaker would be eager to redeem himself and return to the national squad, which is already stocked with elite pacers, since time was running out.

Meanwhile, poor light caused the toss to be delayed. The pacers will probably love bowling if there is no sunlight or moisture beneath the surface. That is contingent upon the commencement and mode of the game. On Day 3 of the contest, rain is also a possibility.
