This is Ponting&#39;s fourth season with Delhi in the IPL. Under him, Delhi finished at bottom of the table in 2018 before finishing third in 2019 and becoming runners-up in 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, bowling coach James Hopes checked into the team hotel on Wednesday while Assistant coach Mohammed Kaif reached Dubai on Tuesday. All three coaches are serving six days of quarantine before hitting the ground for practice sessions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The domestic players and the rest of the support staff of the Delhi Capitals had already arrived in the UAE and began practising from August 29 after completing quarantine. Shreyas Iyer, making a return from a shoulder injury, had reached Dubai on August 14 and had been practising with Pravin Amre to get back into the batting groove.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-series\/india-tour-of-england-2021\">India tour of England, 2021 <\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Delhi sits on top of the points table with 12 points from eight matches.
