In-form Delhi will look to tame Haryana that is being captained by the swashbuckling Virender Sehwag, who shifted loyalties this season, as the two sides lock horns in a Ranji Trophy group game here today.
Delhi would be hoping that their in-form pace attack led by Ishant Sharma will come out all guns blazing to counter Sehwag's marauding ways at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
Ending his long association with Delhi, the Najafgarh-born Sehwag shifted to Haryana this season in order to open up a slot for the young crop of state players. After conceding three points to Rajasthan in their opening game, Delhi were bolstered by the return of Ishant in the playing XI against Vidarbha.
Ishant's impressive match figures of 9-47 helped the Gautam Gambhir-led side thrash Vidarbha by 10 wickets and bag a bonus point win at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground.
The third game will see Delhi face their once favourite star Sehwag, who started the season with a well made 92 in his side's only game against Maharashtra.
Delhi will ring in three changes in their side from the last game against Vidarbha. Injured Sumit Narwal will be replaced by Parvinder Awana while Pawan Suyal will come in place of Sarang Rawat. There is a possibility that Yogesh Nagar will replace Vaibhav Rawal in the playing XI for this match.
