Dubai: Senior Bath Delhi Capitals’ Shikhar Dhawan on Sunday said the return of the regular captain Shreyas Iyer would strengthen the team further because it was seen continuing the IPL campaign on a high tone.
2021 IPL was suspended in May because some Covid cases in bio-bubbles and the second leg of a favorable tournament will begin on September 19 in the UAE.
“We are in a certain stream in the first half of the season and then the flow is damaged once the tournament is suspended,” Dhawan said in the release issued by the franchise.
“So we have to rebuild our energy and return to the flow.
The good thing is that our team is balanced and Shreyas Iyer returns to the side, so our team is even stronger now.” Iyer had spent the first foot of the IPL after suffering a shoulder injury during the first ODI between India and England in March.
Dhawan is 35 years old, who is currently the highest run-getter in the 2021 IPL season with 380 running in eight matches, said the team was focused on his first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
“Glad to be back.
There is a great environment in the team.
All boys work very hard and I look forward to the IPL season.
I am very happy to play the upcoming match,” the opening said, who had scored.
3 fifties in the season so far.
“It’s very important to start with a high tone.
We need to do well from the first match itself and therefore we work very hard for our first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
We have to do our hard work in the match and produce a big result.” Mother Delhi, finalist last year, will face Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 22.
