According to Times Now, Sourav Ganguly revealed, ‘I have to plan for next year’s IPL. The mega auction is next year and I have started planning for it right now. I want to see Delhi Capitals win the IPL once. I break the news that Ricky Ponting will not be the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season. Geoffrey Boycott was right when he said that Ricky Ponting has not taken the franchise forward in the last 7 years. I had to talk to the franchise and told them to bring forward an Indian coach. I will be the head coach and let’s see how the team performs? Sourav Ganguly will be the head coach of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season Let us tell you, Ricky Pant was given full power in the Indian Premier League 2024 but despite this, the result under his coaching was not in favor of the team.

Just accept it as it is. These players haven’t been there before, so enjoy tonight, enjoy tomorrow. But make sure your preparation is consistent,” Ponting said on the ICC’s digital daily show. “They are undefeated so far, so they don’t need to make any changes or put in extra effort. They just need to give their best. If they do that, they will be hard to beat,” he said.

Former Australian captain and Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting made a big statement about this performance of Mitchell Starc. Mitchell Starc said, ‘The expectations that come with the price tag also put a lot of pressure on the players. Mitchell Starc was not getting much help in the conditions in which he was bowling. 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. On the other hand, now in the ongoing IPL season, Delhi Capitals team head coach and former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting has given a big statement regarding the continuous changes in T20 cricket.

Let us tell you that while talking about the changes in T20 cricket, in a discussion with ESPN Cricinfo, Ricky Ponting said – I did not think that a score of 300 would ever be possible, but it looks like it is going to happen now. It’s not like that anymore in T20 cricket where you go in and take a few balls to get set. Now when a player comes to bat, he starts hitting from the first ball. 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.

Now Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting has predicted that the aggressive batting team will win IPL 2024. “Sunrisers Hyderabad is responsible for some of them (big scores). KKR scored 272 runs against us. I think the way teams are batting, the role of impact player is important. How Travis Head batted last night. You can’t bat like that unless you have confidence in your lower order players. Ponting further said that, most of the big tournaments like IPL and Big Bash in Australia have been won by the best defensive bowling teams. This is how the IPL season is going, the team which attacks the bowlers and tries to score big will win the trophy. However, the Delhi Capitals team has been seen struggling this season.

Kolkata Knight Riders also scored 223 runs against Rajasthan while Royals easily achieved the target of 224 runs. So far, 31 matches have been played in IPL 2024 in which Kolkata Knight Riders have scored more than 200 runs in an innings thrice and Sunrisers Hyderabad is also at the first place in this list. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have achieved this fantastic feat twice each while Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, RCB and Rajasthan Royals have crossed the 200-run mark once each this season.

The one who bats aggressively in this IPL will win the season: Ricky Ponting According to NDTV Sports, Ricky Ponting said, ‘I think the game will go the same way. Sunrisers Hyderabad has made some big scores. Kolkata Knight Riders also scored 272 runs against us. I think the impact player rule is proving to be very important for the team in the batting lineup. Travis Head batted very well last night. You cannot bat like this unless you have the confidence that there are batsmen in the team who can come down and bat aggressively. Like we have seen in Big Bash League Australia, only the team whose bowling is very defensive wins, but in IPL the rules are quite different and that is why those teams whose batting lineup is very strong are performing well here. I feel that this IPL season will be won only by the team which bats aggressively and not the one whose bowling lineup is defensive. 5 Australian players who scored half century in 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 the 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Rishabh Pant should also be included in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 team: Ricky Ponting
According to Ricky Ponting, Rishabh Pant can perform well for the Indian team in the upcoming tournament.

According to India Today, Ricky Ponting said, ‘Do I think Rishabh should be in the World Cup team? Yes definitely. After the end of IPL, he must be in the Indian team for T20 World Cup 2024. We saw how well he has batted in the last 6 editions and now he can make a comeback in the Indian team. However, there are many wicketkeeper batsmen who are in very good form at the moment. Ishan Kishan is also playing well and Sanju Samson has also batted very well. KL Rahul’s performance has also been very good. The Indian team has many options but if I had to choose, I would include Rishabh Pant in my team every day of the week. Rishabh Pant’s performance in IPL 2024 Rishabh Pant’s performance in the first two matches of IPL 2024 was quite disappointing. However, after this the experienced batsman batted very well and scored two consecutive half-centuries. So far, he has scored 194 runs in six innings at an average above 32 and strike rate of 157.72, which also includes 16 fours and 11 sixes.
