Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma is ready to return to the cricket field, representing Purani Dilli 6 in the ongoing Delhi Premier League (DPL) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Purani Dilli 6 faces off against East Delhi Riders on Tuesday and will clash with West Delhi Lions on Wednesday. Sharma, who last played a white-ball match in IPL 2024, is eager to showcase his skills in the DPL.

"Preparation for DPL has been good. I didn't get much time to practice after the IPL. Just a little more preparation for my franchise and I'll be ready to take the field in DPL. You all will see me bowling in the coming games for Purani Dilli 6," Ishant Sharma stated. Sharma, with his vast experience, has been mentoring young players extensively. "My message for young players is to keep working hard and believe in your abilities. This format might be cruel, but if you trust your abilities and work hard, you can do wonders in any format" he added.

Team owner Akash Nangia lauded Sharma's presence, stating, "Ishant Sharma brings a wealth of experience to Purani Dilli 6. His guidance and mentorship are invaluable to our younger players. Having someone of his calibre in the squad enhances the learning curve for the entire team. He has been regular in training sessions, and we are all looking forward to his bowling."
