Ricky Ponting: Changes are expected in the Indian Premier League 2023 in view of the inclement weather of Delhi Capitals. With the David Warner-led side still at the bottom of the points table, speculation is rife about Ricky Ponting’s ouster as the head coach of the franchise.
Irfan Pathan is already on his mind to replace Ponting
If that happens, then former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan is already on his mind to replace Ponting. Pathan suggested in a chat that Sourav Ganguly, who is already among the support staff at the franchise, should replace Ponting.
Pathan feels that Ganguly is the right person to coach the Capitals
Irfan feels that Ganguly is the right person to coach the Capitals. As he knows the ‘psychology’ of Indian players that are there on the team.
“Sourav Ganguly’s presence in the Delhi dugout is a big deal. I think if Dada is given the responsibility of coach as well. He can make a big difference in this team. Dada has knowledge of the psychology of Indian players. He knows how to run the dressing room and Delhi should definitely take advantage of that. At the time of the toss, Warner has said that his team has now started preparing for the next season, and in this context, it would not be wrong to see Ganguly in a changed role,” said Pathan on Star Sports.
