IPL 2022: Need to improve batting in powerplay, says DC coach Ricky Ponting

The Hindu  

Ricky Ponting, the Delhi Capitals head coach, was looking forward to the presence of the big three overseas cricketers - Anrich Nortje, David Warner and Mitchell Marsh - in its XI over the coming week. We have got a few more days before our next game, so hopefully he is available for selection for that one,” Ponting said on Saturday night after the Capitals fell short of chasing down a moderate target against Gujarat Titans. Ponting confirmed that Marsh and Warner have arrived in Mumbai from Pakistan and was hopeful Warner would be in action during its next clash versus Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday. “But fingers crossed, Davey should be there for the next game and Mitch Marsh for the game after.” Ponting served the Capitals’ top-order a warning by stressing that “for the second time in a row” did Capitals lose three wickets in the Powerplay.
