NEW DELHI: Monday morning was one of the darkest ones in the history of Delhi cricket. They lost to Puducherry, a team that started playing First-Class cricket five years ago, by nine wickets at home in their opening match of the Ranji Trophy season.
While the jubilation in the Puducherry camp was understandable, Delhi’s abject surrender to such an inexperienced team has brought the focus back on the infamous structure that has plagued Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA). As expected, the selectors came up with a knee jerk reaction and decided to sack Yash Dhull as the captain for the next match in Jammu. Himmat Singh has been handed the responsibility to lead the team while Ayush Badoni has been retained as vice-captain.
