IPL 2021 - Mohammad Kaif reveals the Delhi Capitals' goal

Despite struggling with a few factors, Delhi Capitals (DC) have a squad that can win the Indian Premier League (IPL) title this season, said assistant coach Mohammad Kaif. Delhi finished runners-up last season, where they lost to Mumbai Indians in the final by five wickets as well. “We want to go one step further this year and that’s the Delhi Capitals team goal. We have the players to win the title. We were very close last year and the plus point for this season is that most of the players such as Rishabh Pant have been playing a lot of cricket. They have been in touch with the game and therefore they are in good rhythm going into the IPL,” said Kaif. The former India cricketer has also attended his first practice session with the team at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai on Saturday. And, he said that the players are currently focusing on catching practice during the session as well. “The players have been carrying out batting and bowling drills in the last few days. As a coaching group we decided to focus on fielding skills in today’s practice session. The players took some catches under lights. It was a great session. I got to meet many young players in the team and the experienced ones as well. I had a good chat with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ajinkya Rahane,” he said. The assistant coach further said that the coaching staff will soon decide a detailed training plan once their head coach Ricky Ponting will join the team after finishing his mandatory quarantine period. “I am looking forward to meeting Ricky in person. I have been in touch with him on the phone. We will chalk out a training plan with Ponting for the upcoming days once he joins the team on the field,” said Kaif.
