“Pakistan’s Test coach is like Gautam Gambhir” Why did Ricky Ponting give such a statement; Know who is Jason Gillespie?

“Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone.” – Ricky Ponting Jason Gillespie. (Source – Twitter/X) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that his compatriot and former teammate Jason Gillespie will do a good job as Pakistan’s red ball coach (Test coach). Ricky Ponting and Gillespie have played a lot of cricket together for Australia before and they have a very good friendship. Ponting highlighted Gillespie’s impressive record as a coach and compared it to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has also tasted success in his brief coaching career so far. Gambhir recently won the IPL 2024 title in his only season as Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. Here is what Ricky Ponting said about Jason Gillespie while speaking on the ICC review: “Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone. I have no doubt he will face some challenges. But he is a deep thinker and as I said, he is a calm guy who does things his way.” Ponting has no doubt that Gillespie will find a way to get the best out of the Pakistani players. I am not surprised by the changes in Pakistan cricket: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said that he is not surprised by the massive changes in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Pakistan was eliminated even before reaching the Super 8 stage of the tournament due to defeat against India and America in its group. On this Ponting said- “We are all old guys who have played together, we all have a WhatsApp group. Everyone congratulated him (Gillespie) on that and wished him all the best for that role as coach. To be honest, I am not surprised at all by so many changes happening in this Pakistan team. I know it is a different format, but they had a very disappointing T20 World Cup. If you are not willing to make some changes, you are expecting similar results.”

Many cricket fans thought that the Indian team would easily win this Test series but South Africa made a very good comeback and won the next two matches. Recalling this time, Rahul Dravid told Star Sports, ‘If you ask me what was my lowest point, I would say the South Africa Test series at the beginning of my career. We won the first Test against South Africa in Centurion. After this, we were playing the second and third Test matches. We had never won a series in South Africa and this was a big opportunity for all of us. There were some senior players who were not available.’ India lost 2-1 against South Africa Rahul Dravid further said, ‘Rohit Sharma was injured and some senior players were not in that series. We were very close in both the Tests. We had a great opportunity in the third innings of both these Tests because we had scored a very good score and could have won the match. However, South Africa played very well. They chased the target in the fourth innings and we lost the match. This was the lowest point of my career. I felt bad that we were ahead in this series but still could not win it.’ South Africa won the three-match Test series 2-1. The Indian team players failed to perform well in the second and third Tests.

“They can work in the off-season like this…” – This is the reason why Ricky Ponting is not the head coach of DC, he himself made a big revelation

They want to go in a different direction with someone who can give them a bit more time and a bit more availability during the off-season – Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Former Australian captain and legendary cricketer Ricky Ponting was working as the head coach of Delhi Capitals since 2018.

Ricky Ponting revealed the plans of Delhi Capitals Ricky Ponting said in the episode of ICC Review, They made it clear that they wanted to go in a different direction with someone who could give them a little more time and a little more availability during the off-season. Such a coach would be able to spend some time with the local players in India. I was not able to do this because of my other commitments. Speaking further, Ricky Ponting also indicated that the head coach of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 could be an Indian. I think an Indian will be the head coach. Certainly, this is something I have talked about with them. Will Ponting become the white-ball head coach of the England cricket team? There have been reports for a long time that Ricky Ponting would become the white-ball head coach of the England men’s cricket team, although he has put an end to all those speculations. Ponting says that he is not in the right mindset to coach an international team. No, I would actually never consider doing that. I’m on record as saying that International Jobs isn’t really where my life is right now, as it takes up too much time.

Captain R Ashwin led the team from the front by scoring half-centuries in all three matches. Dindigul Dragons batsman Baba Indrajeet is not tired of praising Ashwin’s excellent captaincy. He also revealed that winning the IPL title as a captain is Ashwin’s biggest dream. As a captain, he dreams of winning the IPL trophy- Baba Indrajit Baba Indrajit while talking in an interview given to Cricket.com said, Of course, everyone will look at him as a captain, he has a very good cricketing brain. He is always thinking about rising above being a batsman or bowler. He has all the qualities of leadership, I think as a captain he has a dream of winning the IPL trophy, so why not. Ravichandran Ashwin has captained the IPL franchise Punjab Kings in 2018 and 2019. However, the team could not reach the playoffs in both the seasons. Baba Indrajit further said, His involvement was not just in his skills but also in the skills of other players, not only on the field but also off the field. In the last 30-35 days, including the camp (10 days), he was involved the whole time. From the first person to the 20th person, he was involved with everyone and constantly motivated them to improve their fitness and strength. I don’t think any head coach would have worked as much as him. This is how Baba Indrajeet and R Ashwin have performed for Dindigul Dragons Baba Indrajeet also played a big role in Dindigul Dragons becoming the champion. He has scored 286 runs in 10 innings at an average of 40.85 and a strike rate of 133.02, he is the third highest run scorer in the tournament. Talking about Ashwin’s performance, he has scored 252 runs with the bat at an average of 36 and a strike rate of 152, he is the fifth highest run scorer in the season.

Who will become the white-ball coach of the England team? English players will tremble on hearing the name

The search for a new head coach began after England men’s director of cricket Rob Key said the team needed a “new direction”, with the next target being the Champions Trophy in February. England Cricket Team (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes there is no better option than Andy Flower for England’s vacant white-ball head coach position but is doubtful whether he will get the job. Notably, Matthew Mott stepped down last week after the team’s mixed performance in two years. He led England to T20 World Cup success in 2022, although his performance in the last two major limited overs tournaments was disappointing. The search for a new head coach began after England men’s director of cricket Rob Key said the team needed a “new direction”, with the next target being the Champions Trophy in February. Nasir Hussain told who is the best option to become a coach Former English cricketer Michael Atherton says that Andy Flower should be reappointed as the head coach of England. Supporting his teammate, Nasser Hussain also confirmed this and named him. Let us tell you that when Andy Flower was the coach of the English team, during his tenure, England won the T20 World Cup 2010 and also became the number-1 team in the Test format. However, despite achieving so much success, Flower did not want to remain the coach, because during his tenure many players were not happy with the tough training sessions. Hussain told the PA news agency: “If I ask Andy Flower to become the coach, people will not agree to this. Andy was earlier against franchises and tournaments like IPL but now it is not so. Now he has travelled around the world, won for most of the franchises and has done some very good things.” “He’s a fantastic coach. You just have to look at his CV and if Rob (England team director) has pulled out Andy Flower’s CV, there’s hardly a better choice, but again that’s only if Andy wants to do it.” “All are very good candidates and I reiterate, the job is not to find a candidate, but to find a candidate who really wants to do the job.”
