Ricky Ponting told Cricbuzz, ‘I would like to start with the fact that I do not want to talk about any one player but Prithvi Shaw should not be left out. He is really an amazing player. Shaw can join any team. With the talent he has, he can be included in any team. You can also say that in the middle of the year we were not able to include him in our Delhi Capitals team. As a coach, I also felt very bad that we had such great players but we were not able to bring out the best in them. But sometimes in the process of doing too much, you end up giving disappointing performances. Prithvi Shaw’s performance was very poor in the Indian Premier League 2023 and 2024 seasons Let us tell you, while playing for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, Prithvi Shaw scored 353 runs in the 2019 season, while in the 2021 season, this excellent player scored 479 runs.

Ricky Ponting also wants this young player to perform well and once again secure his place in the Indian team. He also has a lot of expectations from the young player. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

The ball was not swinging much this year and the grounds were also very small. This is the reason why Starc did not get as much help in the beginning as was expected from him.’ Mitchell Starc’s bowling will be worth watching in T20 World Cup 2024: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said, ‘In the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, Mitchell Starc will trouble many batsmen with his speed. Mitchell Starc can leave his impact in the West Indies because fast bowlers get a lot of help here. If the ball swings even a little here, then Mitchell Starc can prove to be the most dangerous bowler from Australia.’ Let us tell you, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is starting from June 2. Now Mitchell Starc will have his eyes on the upcoming tournament and he would like to perform well in it.

‘Hitting from the first ball’ Ricky Ponting talking about the changes taking place in T20 cricket
T20 cricket has become easier for batsmen than bowlers. Ricky Ponting (Image Source: Getty Images) The new format of cricket, T20 cricket, has changed a lot in today’s times. In modern day cricket, there is no longer an equal competition between the ball and the bat, but now the batsmen are liking this format more. In today’s T20 cricket, batsmen are seen batting at a stormy pace. Batsmen have changed the current scenario of the game. Every day some batsman is seen playing new shots. So there was a time when a score of 200 runs was considered the winning total in T20 cricket, but now even a score of 250 runs has started falling short to win the match. So in the ongoing IPL, new records are being made in terms of runs every other day. Also, this season Sunrisers Hyderabad has created history by scoring 287 runs in an innings. Looking at this score, it seems that the day is not far when the score of 300 runs will be seen in T20 cricket.

Ricky Ponting further said – Matthew Hayden has been telling me that friend, I am telling you that this is the future of T20 cricket, but I still keep telling him that no, it is not so.
