Mohammad Kaif very confident about Delhi Capitals’ chances ahead of IPL 2020

Delhi Capitals assistant coach, Mohammad Kaif, looks quite confident about the chances of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2020. He is very excited for the upcoming season and can’t wait for his side to dawn the field. 

“Everyone in the squad is very excited, but it’s important to hold the nerves as there’s still a month left for the start of IPL 2020. We should not forget that these are tough times for the players and staff members as there are a lot of guidelines that need to be followed,” Kaif told IANS. 

He continued, “There would be almost 2-3 weekly COVID-19 tests of the players and supporting staff. But I am happy that we will finally get to see some cricket happening and would be a great experience for all the fans.”

Kaif also talked about the ‘difficulty’ which the players will go through during this IPL edition. He said that players have not been playing from the last few months and it will take some time for them to adjust in these conditions. 

“These are not normal circumstances, players’ bodies have not been in use for the last 4-5 months, and this will result in their performances on the field. Some practice matches would also be organised to overcome, but yes, a difference could be still seen on the field. I am sure our players can adapt quickly and will ensure there’s no compromise with the quality of the game.” Kaif said.

Talking about the team atmosphere, Kaif went on to say, “Everyone is very excited for this tournament and working out hard. This tournament is a huge responsibility for all the players to make it successful and not breach any rules of this biosecure bubble. The players’ safety and security is our number one priority at the moment.”
