IPL 2023: ‘They have really got a good squad…’, Ricky Ponting On The Winner Of Tournament

The head coach of Delhi Capitals and the former Australian opener Ricky Ponting has commented on the upcoming 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. He has predicted the Sanju Samson led Rajasthan Royals to be one of the contenders for the title.

Last year the team led by Sanju Samson made it to the finals of the tournament but lost to the Gujarat Titans by 7 wickets in the final.

The former captain of the Australian cricket team praised the team led by Hardik Pandya for their impressive performance in the last season. Discussing the Rajasthan Royals the 48-year-old coach said that it’s tough to anticipate which team will do well but he thinks that Rajasthan Royals will be one of the leading teams in the upcoming tournament.

While talking in the latest edition of ICV Review, “It’s a tough question…as very rarely does a team dominate the IPL from the start to the finish. Obviously, Gujarat (Titans) last year were amazing, a brand new team and were able to win the tournament. The other finalist last year, Rajasthan Royals, I think have got a really, really good squad. And we said that last year, immediately after the auction, we were pretty impressed with what they were able to do and put a good squad together.”

He further added,”They’ve only built on that again this year. I think Rajasthan will be there, thereabouts. It’s a hard game to judge and a hard game to understand who’s going to win. Who stands up in the moment will generally win more often than not. But if I look at the squads, Rajasthan has got as good a squad as anybody.”
