Delhi Capitals senior batsman Shikhar Dhawan who holds the orange cap as of now with his 380 runs stated that his team need to focus on a good start in the UAE-leg of the season.
Delhi Capitals will take on SunRisers Hyderabad in the first match of the second phase of the Indian Premier League on September 22.
“It’s great to be back. There’s a great environment within the team. All the boys are working very hard and I am looking forward to the IPL season. I am very excited to play the upcoming matches. It’s very important to start on a high note. We need to do well from the first match itself and therefore we are working very hard for our first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. We have to bring our hard work into effect during matches and produce great results,” said Dhawan, who has scored three fifties in the IPL 2021 season so far.
Dhawan also feels that the squad is even more stronger for second half of the season with batsman Shreyads Iyer who is also the regular captain of the side.
“We were in a certain flow in the first half of the season and then that flow was broken once the tournament was suspended. So we have to rebuild our energy and get back on the flow we were in. The good thing is that our team is well balanced and Shreyas Iyer is back in the side as well, so our team is even stronger now,” he said.
The veteran batsman was earlier dropped from the Indian side for the T20 World Cup.
