Tanmay Srivastava now 35, and Ajitesh Argal, 37, might not have thought that they will be reunited on a cricket field again in an "international game" albeit as on-field umpires.

Virat Kohli's former teammate, who was the top-scorer in the 2008 U19 World Cup final, has landed an umpiring job in IPL.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar had a forgettable return to Ranji Trohpy game against Mumbai as he finished with figures of 23-3-99-2.

It is still not clear whether the selectors would choose a separate squad for the lone T20 International which will enable them to be flexible and include a few more players in both formats.

Chasing 346 to win, India Red were all out for 334 in the final over after their middle and lower order brought them mighty close to the huge target.

Delhi's chase of 271 depended on Sehwag after Kohli (5) was dismissed cheaply. Sehwag didn't disappoint as blazed away to a fifty off just 33 balls before being dismissed against the run of play.

Sehwag, who would be 35 in another four weeks time, knows that his fight to get into the Indian team starts from this tournament and if the returns are not favourable, it might not augur well for him as far as his future in international cricket is concerned.

Irfan has been replaced by Kerala medium-pacer Sandeep Warrier in the India Red squad to be led by his brother Yusuf Pathan.
