    IPL 2026: Woke Up With Little Bit Of Nerves, Ponting Kept Me Calm And Collected, Says Connolly

    New Delhi: After dazzling with a match-winning 72 on his IPL debut to give Punjab Kings a three-wicket win over Gujarat Titans, batting all-rounder Cooper Connolly said head coach Ricky Ponting’s guidance helped him stay calm and collected, which in turn cooled down the nerves he had on the morning of the clash.

    Connolly struck an unbeaten 72 off 44 balls and held his nerve in a chase of 163 after PBKS suffered a middle-order wobble. “I woke up in the morning with a little bit of nerves, which I was really happy about, but yeah, I was really looking forward to getting out there and playing my part the best I can.

    “Ricky Ponting just kept me calm and collected. He told me to play my game, go out there and dominate. It was a nice team performance. We were very strong with the ball and made things easier for ourselves. It was a really good day for us.
