Ishant Sharma, too, has had his share of injuries which has kept him out of the team. He has just played one game for the franchise this season.
Meanwhile, despite all their injury concerns, Delhi has been the best team in the tournament so far. They have the best-balanced side in the tournament so far with a good mix of youth and experience. They are the only team with a good contingent of Indian players forming the core of the team.
The inclusion of Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer has been a huge addition to the side. Both have been more than handy with the bat, with Stoinis chipping in with the ball as well.
Rishabh Pant is expected to be a part of the Indian squad which will be touring Australia later this year.
