In the last two Indian Premier League seasons, Zaheer Khan has repeatedly broken down, and has spent more time on the sideline than on the field.
Zaheer, who is now retired from international cricket, is set to lead Delhi Daredevils in the upcoming edition of the tournament, starting April 9.
The Delhi-based outfit is banking on the experience of Zaheer to take them in the upper-half of the table, after spending past few seasons in the bottom-four.
Zaheer said he is ‘itching’ to get back on the field with the Daredevils and looking forward to the new challenge that is in front of him this season.
“I always look ahead. It’s a new season and a new start,” Zaheer said. “Everyone and put in a lot of work to get things together. We are looking to start off on a positive note. We can’t wait to get to Kolkata and play the first game.”
“I am very excited and looking forward to playing,” he added. “I am itching to get back on the field in the DD jersey and looking forward to working with some young energy (around).”
The opening match of the Indian Premier League will take place between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiants at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on April 9.
