DPL T20: Ishant Sharma's Inspirational Message to Youngsters of Purani Dilli 6 - 'Believe in Your Skills and Put in the Effort'

New Delhi: Ishant Sharma, the pace bowler from Purani Dilli 6, is a firm believer in the power of hard work and self-belief for young players looking to succeed in T20 cricket. Despite Purani Dilli 6's loss to South Delhi Superstarz in the Delhi Premier League T20 opener on Saturday, Ishant Sharma is confident about his team's upcoming matches and is determined to keep pushing forward.

“I’m very excited for Delhi Premier League. The League is happening first time in Delhi. My message for young players is to keep working hard and believe in your abilities, this format might be cruel but if trust your abilities and work hard you can do wonders in any format,” Ishant said.

Having spearheaded India’s pace attack, Ishant will be looking to do the same for Purani Dilli 6. “I have been playing alongside Rishabh for so long, so playing with him is always a pleasure for me,” said Ishant, who didn’t play in the DPL T20 opener.

As far as the game is concerned, Purani Dilli 6 suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of South Delhi Superstarz. The Rishabh Pant-led side made a remarkable comeback with the ball before it was too late by then. Ahead of the start of the opening match on Saturday, the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), honoured Purani Dilli 6 batter Rishabh Pant for his contribution in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.

Purani Dilli 6 will next play against East Delhi Riders on Tuesday. Their third match will be played on Wednesday against West Delhi Lions here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
