He said, \u201cI\u2019ve heard a lot of good things about the Delhi Capitals. I\u2019ve admired the way that Delhi has played over the last few years. I\u2019ve spent a fair bit of time in the IPL, both playing and as a coach with Punjab. It\u2019s nice to be a part of a big franchise like the Delhi Capitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a few players with whom I have played with and against during my time with Australia and in the IPL, so it was nice to see some familiar faces. It\u2019s going to be nice to sit with them, and most importantly talk to them about their cricket,\u201d added the 40-year-old.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Target locked \u2611\ufe0f<br \/>Initiate sequence \ud83c\udfc3\ud83c\udffb<br \/>Execute Yorker \ud83c\udfaf<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnrichNortje02?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AnrichNortje02<\/a> packs some punch with his pinpoint toe crushers \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dream11IPL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dream11IPL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YehHaiNayiDilli?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#YehHaiNayiDilli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EGqb3ZYkdB\">pic.twitter.com\/EGqb3ZYkdB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DelhiCapitals\/status\/1301393363225075712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 3, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Writing captions while running can be quite diffip2?2@!^|}<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dream11IPL?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dream11IPL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YehHaiNayiDilli?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#YehHaiNayiDilli<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tTkzFY1cKC\">pic.twitter.com\/tTkzFY1cKC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Delhi Capitals (@DelhiCapitals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DelhiCapitals\/status\/1301483845129138177?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 3, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Having been permitted to set foot outside on Wednesday morning after six days in quarantine, Harris says it felt good. \u201cHonestly, six days isn\u2019t a lot, but it felt like three weeks for me because I am not someone who can sit still for very long. But when I got the message this morning from the doctor, saying I\u2019ve cleared my quarantine and my tests, that was probably the best message I\u2019ve ever got (laughs). Then to obviously watch the boys train has been fantastic,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Having also seen the players train in the nets on Wednesday, Harris said it didn\u2019t look like the boys were out of practice in the past few months, \u201cI know that the boys haven\u2019t been able to train in the past few months due to the pandemic, but watching them bat and bowl, and seeing some shots flying over the fence, I\u2019ve been impressed with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir work ethic is unbelievable and they seem in very good space for guys who haven\u2019t done a lot of training \u2013 they look in excellent condition,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The former IPL winner has joined his former captain Ricky Ponting at the Delhi Capitals and spoke highly of the Australian great. \u201cI still get goosebumps seeing him talk in the huddle. He\u2019s a guy who presented me with my baggy green cap, and even my one-day cap for Australia. I\u2019m very lucky for him to have asked me to come here to be part of this project, and to work with him is very satisfying for me, and very humbling experience,\u201d said Harris.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been coaching for a few years now, but there\u2019s still so much to learn, and I think there\u2019s no better person to do it with than Ricky. I used to love watching him play growing up, loved playing with him, and now I get to work and coach with him and hope to succeed this year in the IPL. It\u2019s going to be good fun,\u201d added the former pacer. Asked what message he has given to his bowlers ahead of a tough season of IPL, Harris said his focus currently is on building a relationship with everyone and then helping them execute their plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s Ryan Harris was eventually out of his room on Wednesday evening and supervised his first nets session with the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":437,"featured_media":38846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[587,658],"class_list":["post-18109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-delhi-capitals","tag-shreyas-iyer"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/437"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18109"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18109\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
