\u201cDomestic tournaments are absolutely important for the game. I can understand when players are playing a heavy schedule and they opt to sit out but this year\u2019s Duleep Trophy was a season opener. When you want to judge a youngster coming into the side the value of the runs is higher if it\u2019s against strong bowlers. I am happy to see the amount of talent that are playing in this year\u2019s Duleep trophy,\u201d Vijay Dahiya told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dahiya is currently in the capital serving his tenure as the head coach of the Purani Dilli-6 in the inaugural season of the Adani Delhi Premier League. His side roared to third place in the points table despite not getting off the best starts in the tournament. The team lost against South Delhi Superstarz, their semifinal opponent, in the season-opener but the head coach believes all the previous form goes out of the window as it is a knockout game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cConfidence is absolutely important especially when you are making a comeback. You have to realise that it is a very fast-paced tournament and you will lose games but what\u2019s important is how many you end up winning. Confidence is not important just when you\u2019re losing, it is also important when you\u2019re winning. The support staff tried to build an environment to raise confidence where they can perform to their level best,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don't think so, the main purpose of the tournament was to reach the top four and we have done that. We\u2019re in the knockout stage and it\u2019s a knockout game for them as well. They have two batters who have been batting exceptionally well so we need to counter them. Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya are the main pillars of their team so we need to get them out early,\u201d said Dahiya.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Adani Delhi Premier League (DPL) Season One has been a major success. It has provided youngsters with a great platform to impress on a televised platform which is highly beneficial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
