Former Delhi cricketer Sumit Narwal is buzzing with excitement as he prepares to return to the cricket field for the upcoming Legend 90 League, which will take place from February 6 to 18 in Raipur. The tournament will feature a star-studded lineup of cricketing legends, including Shikhar Dhawan and Ross Taylor, making it one of the most anticipated events of the year.
Narwal, a former teammate of Dhawan during their Delhi cricket days, expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with the southpaw and creating new memories on the field. Having claimed 201 wickets in first-class cricket, Sumit is eager to relive the thrill of competitive cricket, a feeling he has missed since retiring from the game.
A Fresh Start, Same Old Excitement
“I’m very happy to be a part of the Legend 90 League as it gives me a chance to play competitive cricket again,” said Narwal. “I feel the same level of excitement as I did when I played cricket for the first time. The excitement is high, and preparations are in full swing.”
The all-rounder, who has previously played in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with KKR and Rajasthan Royals, emphasized that he’s approaching the tournament with the same professional mindset that made him a force to be reckoned with in first-class cricket. “I’m ready to give my 100 percent for Delhi Royals,” he added.
Coaching Experience Enhances His Playing Approach
Since transitioning into coaching after his playing career, Narwal has been instrumental in shaping the next generation of cricketers. Reflecting on his dual role as a coach and cricketer, Sumit shared, “As a coach, the biggest advantage is that you stay connected with cricket. And now in Legend 90 League, I’ll be ready to implement what I’ve taught as a coach to others. I’m very excited to be back on the field as a cricketer.”
Narwal’s experience both as a player and a coach brings a wealth of knowledge to the Delhi Royals, making him a key addition to their squad.
