    "editor1": "<p><strong>Mumbai, March 25 (CRICKETNMORE): &nbsp;<\/strong>He wasnt thought to be good enough to be a part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) last season, but that didnt deter Indias Test pace spearhead Ishant Sharma. He went to play county cricket and returned a different bowler. What followed was a quality season in the Test circuit and Delhi Capitals pocketed him at the auction ahead of season 12 to lead the units bowling attack in the IPL.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Sunday, Ishant once again showed why he is now a more mature bowler. On a Wankhede track where the Delhi Capitals batsmen thrived, Ishant struck early to remove both Mumbai Indians openers -- Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock -- inside the powerplay. While he sent back Rohit in the fourth over, de Kock had to walk back in the sixth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But Ishant said it was quite crazy to watch Rishabh Pant take the Mumbai bowlers to the cleaners in the first innings of the match and he was quite nervous.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Actually I was quite nervous. When you see the ball flying everywhere when Pant was batting, it shows how good a batting track it was. I was backing myself, I had a good County season, a good Test season as well and was among the wickets. I was only trying to hold my nerve and control the process, because when you try and control the results, you lose track of the processes,&quot; he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While the team played like a complete unit on Sunday, Ishant said that the biggest positive for this DC unit was the manner in which the team is gelling and the bonhomie among the players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Everyone is gelling together well and it doesn&#39;t matter what the result is, which is how the team environment should be,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While he finished with 2\/34 from his quota of four overs, for Ishant it was the winning start that was most important as DC look to set quite a few records straight in the cash-rich league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Winning the first game against Mumbai Indians is a big boost for us. We have a new side, a good support staff and it was important to start off well,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
