Shreyas Iyer, who has already landed in Dubai with his team, was seen practicing ahead of the second phase of the tournament and smashed a huge six for all to see at ICC Academy Ground. It has to be noted that after completing his rehab period, Iyer updated that he is raring to perform in the assignments coming up for him.

While Iyer was ruled out of the initial half of IPL 2021, another promising player of DC, Rishabh Pant, was given charge of the team. Pant led the team well and Delhi was on top of the points table before the first session got interrupted due to COVID-19 cases across the camps.
