Delhi Capitals head Coach Ricky Ponting has backed skipper Rishabh Pant to do something extraordinary in the opening match of IPL 2024.
Delhi capitals will be facing Punjab kings in their opening encounter in Mohali. Rishabh Pant will be returning to Cricket after 15 months.
Ahead of their opening encounter, Ponting said that sometimes he had to forcefully ask Rishabh Pant to come out of the nets.
Ricky Ponting said, “We had a week’s training in Vizag before coming here, and trust me, Rishabh is back and ready to play. He is batting and moving behind the stumps beautifully. Sometimes he bats too much, and I have to drag him out of the nets.”
Ponting further added, “”I’ve seen where his game is at, and don’t be surprised if something special happens tomorrow.
His attitude, smile, and what he wants to do for the team are infectious. Everyone wants to be like Rishabh.”
