When Vasan was asked about the coaching setup of Delhi, he had a lot to say, he gave a statement to India News that, “This is injustice to Delhi, what is Ricky Ponting doing in the dugout, is he just sitting there? Are? They are paying a lot of money to foreign coaches, so what is the use of them here in IPL?” What is the role of Ricky Ponting?: Atul Wasan He has also questioned the role of foreign experts appointed by franchises. “Apart from the coaches, no one is talking about what is the role of the foreign experts they bring into their setup. By doing this are you trying to look stronger in the dugout than your team on the field? “In the 16-year-long history of the IPL, DC has reached the final only once in 2020.” Echoing Wason’s views, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma also said, “I agree with Atul, IPL teams love to appoint foreign coaches, but what are they getting out of all this “ What do you think, should foreign coaches be appointed in IPL or not?

So let us answer your question: So this is why Kuldeep and Bhui are not playing against CSK. Let us tell you that at the time of the toss, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant said – Kuldeep Yadav is not playing in the match due to a niggle injury. Whereas after Ishant Sharma is completely fit, Ricky Bhui has not got a place in the playing eleven.

On the other hand, Ricky Bhui, after an amazing performance in the domestic season, was out in two matches, once for 3 runs in 7 balls and once without scoring any runs in 3 balls. However, now it will be worth seeing how Delhi Capitals is going to perform in the match in the absence of Kuldeep Yadav?

DC will play against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. In such a situation, there is only one question in everyone’s mind that will Prithvi Shaw get a chance in the match against Chennai? Because the franchise had David Warner and Mitchell Marsh opening in the first two matches of the season. This pair has not proved to be that successful for DC so far, the team has not won both these matches. Speaking to the media before the DC vs CSK match, Ponting expressed his support for Shaw and talked about the efforts he is making. He also said that due to team combination, they did not get a place for Shaw in the first two matches. Head coach Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw Ricky Ponting said, “Yes, he (Shaw) is definitely pushing for it. He has worked hard in the last few weeks. Obviously, our team came into the first match obviously without (Enrique) Norkhia, which allowed us to play four overseas batsmen. So because of this we promoted Mitchell Marsh to the top order due to which Prithvi Shaw did not get a place in the team. Ponting said that Shaw’s selection will be considered based on his performance in the training session before the match. He said, “So, yes, we will keep a very close eye on Prithvi during training and see how well he plays in the nets. And if he impresses everyone today, we will definitely consider his selection.” Let us tell you that Delhi has played two matches this season, where they have lost both the matches. Pant’s team will play its third match of the season today in Visakhapatnam, where it would like to win at any cost.

Delhi won the toss and decided to bowl first and in 20 overs, Rajasthan Royals scored 185 runs on the scoreboard. Delhi team, chasing the target, started demanding to stop the match on the very second ball. At the same time, Delhi coach also got angry. Actually, Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting clashed with the umpires during the innings break of the IPL 2024 match against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. A picture of the former Australian cricketer arguing with the umpires regarding the impact player rule went viral on the internet. What is the matter, why did Delhi coaches and players get angry? Rajasthan Royals have already fielded three foreign players in their starting playing 11 in the form of Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer and Trent Boult, they brought in a fourth player in the form of Rovman Powell in place of Shubham Dubey. Andre Berger had entered the field as Hetmyer’s replacement fielder even before the start of the innings. On this matter, Ricky Ponting and team director Sourav Ganguly quarreled with the umpire and raised their voice that the Rajasthan team was cheating on the field, because Rovman Powell had come to field and there were 5 foreign players on the field. Delhi Capitals Head Coach Ricky Ponting was visibly unhappy with the impact substitution players from Rajasthan Royals. So much chaos and so little clarity. 📸: Jio Cinema pic.twitter.com/iZSa9P3lZV — CricTracker (@Cricketracker) March 28, 2024 Therefore, Ponting started arguing with the fourth umpire whether a team could field five foreign players. But the reality was that the Royals had only 4 overseas players at the beginning of the innings and Powell came as a substitute, and Hetmyer was not on the field. Rajasthan had kept Rovman Powell as a substitute fielder for some time. Delhi raised questions on this. On this, the umpire brought a sheet that including Powell, only 4 foreign players were in the field. Jos Buttler, Trent Boult, Narde Berger, and Powell. What are the rules of IPL? IPL rules state that a team cannot have more than 4 foreign players in its playing XI, but rule 1.2.6 states: “There cannot be more than 4 foreign players in a team on the field of play at any time during any match. Thus, if the team names a maximum of 4 foreign players in its starting XI, a foreign player can only field as a substitute. If the team includes less than 4 foreign players in its starting playing 11, then foreign players can enter the field only as impact fielders.”

He did it today for the season starting March 22. Rishabh Pant looks fantastic: DC coach Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting was quoted by PTI as saying: “Rishabh Pant has had a lot more batting practice in the last week than in previous IPL seasons. I think maybe he wants to get that confidence back about his body. He is running himself at some different paces and playing all the shots that he plays. He looks fantastic, and more importantly, he has a smile on his face, which we love to see. We all love his friendly demeanor and the way he brings smiles to the team. Although he is still young in age, he has really played a lot of cricket. He sets an example, he has a lot of energy and that’s why other people follow him.” I am very surprised by the improvements Rishabh Pant has made: Sourav Ganguly Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly said: “Rishabh Pant is not an orthodox batsman, so you expect that character in his captaincy. No player comes prepared for the role of captain. You learn as you go and I believe captaincy comes by instinct. I look forward to seeing him in action during IPL 2024. I am amazed at the improvements he has made. I hope it’s a good season for him, because he’s been through a lot emotionally. When you go through an injury like that, it’s never easy to bounce back and get into a rhythm. It will be great to see him back not only for Delhi Capitals, but also for the Delhi Ranji team and India as he is a special talent and player.”
