    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, March 15 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>Having represented various franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Ishant Sharma will be representing Delhi Capitals for the first time when the T20 extravaganza begins on March 23.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Delhi pacer is elated to play in front of his home crowd and also described it as a &#39;feeling of pride&#39; as the pacer was pocketed by the Delhi Capitals for Rs 1.10 crore during the auctions in Jaipur earlier this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a week left for the T20 carnival, Delhi Capitals posted a video on Instagram, where the 30-year-old pacer said: &quot;For me, Kotla is something more than a ground. For the entire cricket I have played, right form the under-17 level, I have played all my matches here. I have a number of memories here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Not only for me, but for all those who represent Delhi, Kotla is a memory for them because it is where it all starts. It is from here that we went ahead to represent our country,&quot; the 30-year-old pacer expressed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is always very special to play on your home ground.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ishant, who had first stolen the limelight by bowling a dream spell to the former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting, will work closely with Ponting - the head coach of the Capitals. Ishant has scalped 58 wickets from 76 IPL games and will be an integral part of his side&#39;s pace attack when the league kicks-off in less than 10 days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I have got this opportunity after 12 years to represent my home team and I feel very proud,&quot; the pacer said. &quot;I will try to deliver my best and I hope we win the trophy this year.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Delhi will kick-off their IPL campaign against three-time champions Mumbai Indians on March 24 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
