In a major blow for Delhi Capitals ahead of their 2020 IPL inaugural meeting, Ishant Sharma was injured during training and will be out of the game for a considerable time.

Cricbuzz understands that the fast pitcher injured his back on the eve of his first game in Dubai during a practice session.

Ishant has had a history of injuries in the recent past. In January this year, he was sidelined first with an ankle injury and a month later he played a Test again against New Zealand before injuring the same ankle, which had put a question mark on the future of the 32-year-old. .

That match remains Ishant’s last competitive outing, after going through an extensive rehab procedure at the NCA.

It was a roller coaster ride for me after my ankle injury on January 20, but with the help of Ashish Kaushik I managed to do it! The scans were a bit scary, but today I’m happy to be in shape. 🏏 Thank you Ashish Kaushik! #recoverymode #recovery #postinjury
