'They're the owners but it's my team': Ricky Ponting on turning Punjab Kings' culture around ahead of IPL 2025

India TV News  

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was named the head coach of the Punjab Kings after his tenure with the Delhi Capitals came to an end last year. Ponting was asked by Mark Howard on his Podcast 'The Howie Games' about choosing to go with Punjab despite having a couple of more offers and the former Australian skipper responded by saying that he was keen to turn things around not just performance-wise for the franchise but culture-wise as well while demanding autonomy from the owners to run the team in a way that he wants to. They're aware of that, the owners, the administrators, the board of directors of this team are very aware of how I'm going to do things and I have told them," Ponting said. Punjab Kings splurged INR 26.75 crore for Shreyas Iyer, last year's IPL-winning captain, as their leader while spending INR 18 crore each for Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh, the two leading wicket-takers for India in T20Is.
