3 players who can replace Ishant Sharma if he is ruled out of IPL 2020
Given how injury-prone the Indian players have become recently, it might be possible that the BCCI orders better treatment of Ishant's injury which would rule him out of the entire IPL season.
3. Rahul Shukla
The right-arm fast bowler from Jharkhand, Rahul Shukla had grabbed the attention of the fans with his magnificent performances for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. The 29-year-old was also a part of the Delhi-based franchise in the IPL when it was known as Delhi Daredevils. He has been absent from the last few seasons but can make a comeback if Delhi sign him as a replacement.
He was recently playing for Jharkhand in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 trophy while he has played a total of 47 T20 matches in his career. The right-arm pacer has scalped 52 wickets in those matches which indicates that he is wicket-taker who can destroy the opposition batting lineup with his pace.
Shukla has three four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul to his name in T20 cricket. Thus, he could be a good backup option for the Delhi Capitals pace bowling attack. Hence, these are the players Delhi Capitals can sign as Ishant Sharma’s replacement if the pacer fails to recover from his injury.
