IPL 2026: 'Opening Partnership Set Up The Game,' Says Ponting After PBKS Win Over CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Head coach Ricky Ponting lauded Punjab Kings’ (PBKS) opening pair for setting up the chase and also praised the bowling unit after their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 7th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.
Ponting said the opening partnership played a key role in laying the foundation for the successful run chase of 210 runs in just 18.4 overs on a high-scoring pitch.
“Great game of cricket, the right team ended up coming out on top, it was an incredibly good run chase, one that I was pretty confident with at the halfway mark, but I think if we wind the clock back right at the start, I mean obviously a very good pitch, I'm really actually quite glad that the bowling group tried and probably exhausted almost every option, we tried everything," Ponting said in a dressing room video released by PBKS.
