(Photo by Saeed KHAN / AFP) Former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga, famously known as the Yorker King, is at the top in bowling. But when it comes to fielding, he is in the list of very bad fielders. Malinga used to make mistakes in judging the direction of the ball. If he was not a good bowler, he would probably not have got any place in the team. 8. Shoaib Akhtar Shoaib Akhtar (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) One of the fastest bowlers in the world, Pakistan’s Shoaib Akhtar used to scare the best batsmen with his fast bowling. However, he used to be a lazy player when it came to running behind the ball to stop a boundary. 7. Javagal Srinath Javagal Srinath. (Photo by Ross Setford/Getty Images) Javagal Srinath was one of the best fast bowlers in the world for more than a decade. He was also one of India’s greatest bowlers, but there is no doubt that he was a poor fielder. Batsmen would often take two runs when the ball came to him. 6. Morne Morkel Morne Morkel of South Africa. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) South African players are usually known for their excellent fielding, however, fast bowler Morne Morkel was different. Morne, who has been one of the best fast bowlers in the world, was a liability for the team as a fielder. Due to his tall stature, he was neither able to save runs quickly nor take good catches. He often made easy catches difficult, which is a characteristic of a poor fielder. 5. Glenn McGrath Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting.

He was the worst fielder from the Australian team of his time. 4. Arjuna Ranatunga Arjuna Ranatunga. (© Getty Images) Former Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga is one of the…

(Image Source: Getty Images) In 2021, when Virat Kohli left the captaincy of India’s T20I format, the then current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly appointed Rohit Sharma as the captain of all three formats. Ganguly’s decision was also criticized a lot by the fans. Meanwhile, former India captain and President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sourav Ganguly has taken a dig at his critics. Speaking to Bengali daily ‘Aajkal’, Ganguly hit back at his critics who criticised him for appointing Rohit Sharma as the captain of the Indian team. Ganguly had decided to appoint Rohit Sharma as the captain after Virat Kohli was forced to step down from all formats of the game following India’s group-stage exit from the T20 World Cup 2021. Sourav Ganguly gave a befitting reply to his critics Sourav Ganguly said, “When I handed over the captaincy of the Indian team to Rohit Sharma, everyone criticized me. Now that India has won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, everyone has stopped abusing me for it. In fact, I think everyone has forgotten that it was me who appointed him as the captain of the Indian team.” India’s performance under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has been excellent. Under his captaincy, the team reached the semi-finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup. In the last 12 months, the team played the finals of three ICC tournaments. In two of them, they had to face defeat, while the team won one. Meanwhile, Ganguly also talked about the next IPL season. He said, “I am planning for the next IPL. I want DC to win this time.

Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting (Image Credit- Twitter) The performance of the Indian Premier League franchise Delhi Capitals was very poor in the 2024 season and the team could not make it to the playoffs. This is the reason why the Delhi franchise has now removed Ricky Ponting from the post of head coach of the team. Let us tell you, Ricky Ponting was appointed as the head coach by Delhi Capitals in the 2018 season. Under the coaching of Ricky Ponting, the Delhi team made it to the 2020 final but had to face defeat against Mumbai Indians.

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.

After IPL 2023, the Delhi franchise removed Ajit Agarkar and Shane Watson as assistant coaches. Now it remains to be seen how positive this decision of the Delhi team proves to be before the upcoming season? 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?
