The buzz over whether any cricketer from Pune would get an opportunity to ply their trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to crank up in the next few days.Even as names of Kedar Jadhav, Ameya Shrikhande, Harshad Khadi-wale and Samad Fallah are bandied out as the likely players to make the IPL cut, it is increasingly becoming clear that only two guys - Kedar Jadhav and Ameya Shrikhande are in the running for the Delhi Daredevils outfit.Former Indian fast bowler and vice president of the GMR Sports Group, T.A Shekhar, which owns the Delhi Daredevils team, made it clear that only Kedar Jadhav and Ameya Shrik-hande are in the race as far as the Delhi Daredevils side are concerned."Yeah, we are trying to have a close look at Kedar Jadhav and Ameya Shrikhande. I saw Kedar bat during the Duleep Trophy final in Chennai a couple of days back, and he looked good to me. We're also eyeing Ameya Shrikhande though I'm yet to see him bat. I've a good feedback about him," Shekhar told Pune Mirror.So the obvious questions is: will Delhi Daredevils look to snap up both of them? "No. We feel both are bright talents, but only one of them would make it," he clears the air.One can't resist the tempation of asking him when a final call will be taken. Shekhar toes the wait-and-watch line. "Our sports committee will toss the same and take a decision on it. I'm pretty hopefull that we would be able to arrive at a decision by Febru-ary,' he concluded.
