IPL 2025: Ponting Reveals It Was Shreya's Call To Promote Iglish To No.3 Against LSG
Lucknow Super Giants: Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting commended captain Shreyas Iyer for his strategic decision to elevate Josh Inglis to the no.3 position, a move that paid dividends as the Australian, in partnership with Prabhsimran Singh, provided PBKS with a solid start against Lucknow Super Giants.
After PBKS lost Priyansh Arya cheaply for one, the duo put on a 48-run stand in 22 balls for the second wicket before Inglis departed. In his 30-run innings Inglis smashed three sixes and a boundary off Mayank Yadav.
"It was actually a move that the captain came up with, and Shreyas thought, on that sort of a pitch, against that bowling attack, it would be the right thing to. If a wicket fell early, to send Inglis in. We felt that Mayank would bowl early on, and if you look at the way he bowls, he generally bowls reasonably short, and that's one of Inglis' great strengths. As you saw tonight, those pull shots were pretty amazing straight away.
