On the other hand, Delhi still languish at the bottom in Zone A with a mere 29 points from 13 matches. The home leg would be key for Delhi as they look to make a strong comeback in the later half of the tournament. The poor form of captain Meraj Sheykh is a major concern for the team and Nilesh Shinde’s continuous absence is not helping either.
