Zaheer unlikely for match against Gujarat Lions

New Delhi: Recovering from a hamstring injury, Zaheer Khan is unlikely to feature in Delhi Daredevils' home game against Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League here on Thursday.

Zaheer sat out of Delhi's previous two matches against against Hyderabad Sunrisers and Kings XI Punjab. Karun Nair had captained the side in his absence.

The left-arm pacer had pulled his hamstring during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 28.

"We continue to monitor Zaheer Khan on a day to day basis," the team said in a statement.

Delhi are currently sixth in the points table with three wins from nine matches.
