Nitish Rana has become the captain of Delhi team. Nitish will be seen captaining the Delhi team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting from 26th November. Delhi has been placed in Elite Group D along with Jharkhand, Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Saurashta and Tripura. All the matches of Delhi will be played in Ahmedabad. Delhi has become the winner of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy only once so far. It won the title of 2017-18 season under the captaincy of Pradeep Sangwan.
Nitish Rana was playing for Uttar Pradesh for some time, but now he is going to make a comeback in the Delhi team. This will be the first time that Nitish will be captaining the Delhi team in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He has captained the Delhi team in Ranji Trophy. Let us tell you that he could not play any match in the first phase of Ranji Trophy 2025-26 season. Let us tell you that Nitish Rana has also joined Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. Delhi has included him in their squad by trading with Rajasthan Royals.
He had earlier captained West Delhi Lions in Delhi Premier League 2025. Under his captaincy, he made the West Delhi Lions team the champion. It is also worth noting that spin bowler Digvesh Rathi has been kept out of the Delhi squad for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Rathi also had an argument with Nitish Rana during the qualifier match of DPL 2025.
Ishant Sharma is also not in this team, his playing will depend on how quickly he is able to recover from the injury. India A has been eliminated from the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament, hence Suyyash Sharma and Priyansh Arya have also become available for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Delhi Squad: Nitish Rana (captain), Priyansh Arya, Sarthak Ranjan, Ayush Badoni, Arpit Rana, Ayush Doseja, Mayank Rawat, Tejashwi (wicketkeeper), Himmat Singh, Yash Dhull, Simarjeet Singh, Rahul Dagar, Yash Bhatia, Ankit Rajesh Kumar, Harsh Tyagi, Suyash Sharma, Prince Yadav, Mani Grewal, Rohan Rana, Dhruv Kaushik, Aryan Rana and Vaibhav Kandpal.
