Ishant Sharma has returned to the Delhi team for the Ranji Trophy match against Baroda, bringing optimism and experience to the team's pace attack. He will bring a wealth of knowledge to the team and help the captain make decisions. The team is determined to qualify for the knockout stage and has focused on fixing its playing XI, while also dealing with criticism and making changes to the team. With the recent come-from-behind victory against Uttarakhand, the team's morale is high and there is hope for qualification if they secure three outright wins in a row. Ayush Badoni was dropped from the team in the last game, and the team is relying on the weather to make the pitch favorable for batting.
