Ricky Ponting, head coach of Delhi Capitals (DC), seems unhappy with his side’s performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). On Saturday, April 8, DC suffered a defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Guwahati.
Following DC’s third straight loss in the tournament, Ponting had to admit that the team is a long way off from competing.
“We are a long way off right now and I can’t put my finger on why. If I watch these boys train and prepare, their work has been really good but it hasn’t just come across as any results yet on the field. So if I could put my finger on it, I would change it,” Ponting told reporters after the loss as quoted by News18.
“We have to think about players we are putting on the ground as what we have put in hasn’t worked, as a coaching group we will talk with our captain and take a call,” Ponting added.
RR beat DC by 57 runs in Guwahati
Coming to the match, Warner won the toss and chose to field first. The move, however, was ineffective because the RR batters had a blast. The Sanju Samson-led side scored 199 for 4 in 20 overs, thanks to half-centuries from openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler.
