Although dhawan

New Delhi: Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan expressed his admiration for Ricky Ponting, highlighting the Australian legend’s influence as a coach and leader during his time with Delhi Capitals.

In a recent podcast, Dhawan emphasised the importance of strong leadership in Punjab Kings’ performance during the latest IPL season, noting that it is crucial for creating a winning team.

“Shreyas and Ricky Ponting are a wonderful combination, and they both made a very good team this year. Ricky is a very positive person, very strong. His thought process and his skills stand out. A good player can make you win matches, but if you want to win the tournament, the entire team needs to perform well. Hence, making a good team is really essential and Ricky Ponting is very strong as a coach,” Dhawan said.
