Captain Rishabh Pant, who attended his first training session with the side in Mumbai, expressed that all players are in a good frame of mind.

Everybody is enjoying each other's company," said Pant.

The wicketkeeper-batter also spoke to the new players about the DC team environment. "At the moment, we are trying to understand what do the new players need during nets sessions.

We have spoken to the new players about the team environment we've had in the last few years."

Speaking about working with Head coach Ricky Ponting for yet another season, Pant said, "It's always special meeting Ricky Ponting. Whenever I meet him, it feels like I am meeting a family member.
