IPL 2021 Will Be Challenging For Delhi Capitals: Captain Shreyas Iyer

Last year's finalist Delhi Capitals (DC) will find the competition "challenging" as the rivals to have consolidated their teams for the next edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) at Thursday'

"We have maintained our core unit from the last season and the new players that have come in bring a lot of experience to the squad. Along with international players such as Smith and Tom Curran coming in, we have a few domestic players who have joined the squad as well."

"Lukman Meriwala has done tremendously well in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. It's going to be a great experience for the other youngsters, who have come in," said 26-year-old Iyer.

Iyer, a middle-order batsman, said that DC will look to follow their process and not complicate things.

"We need to keep things simple and focus on our processes, which we have been following in the last two seasons. We need to stick to the same routine and not complicate things. We need to see to it that we stick to the basics and get the best out of ourselves," he emphasized.

In spite of the IPL 2020 being held in the bio bubble, Iyer said that DC could still get the sense of fans' support.

"It was phenomenal to see their support last season and obviously, we love the energy from the fans even though we didn't get to see them on the field. I would love to see them on the field if things open up in the coming IPL."

"I would just like to tell the fans that keep supporting us, keep loving us and we are just looking forward to getting you the trophy this season and we all could celebrate the victory together," he said.
