Gambhir to lead Delhi squad comprising of Dhawan and Ishant in domestic T20

New Delhi: Senior opener Shikhar Dhawan and speedster Ishant Sharma were picked in Delhi T20 squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The team will be led by Gautam Gambhir and it features rookie wicketkeeper batsman Arjun Gupta, who will replace Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. Rishabh will be on national duty for the T20 series. However, Dhawan, who has not been picked for T20 Internationals and Ishant not in the scheme of things as far as limited overs matches is concerned, would like to make an impression before IPL auctions.
