Ponting remains one of the most respected coaches in the cricketing spectrum. Though things are not going well for him and the Delhi Capitals at the moment, Ponting individually pointed out players who put up a solid show against the Royal Challengers.
During his speech, Ponting asked Kuldeep to never say 'sorry' to him. Apparently, Kuldeep had apologised to Ponting after his poor show with the ball in the game against Mumbai Indians.
"Good, really good bowling performance. They challenged us early; they got off to a flier. Our attitude and commitment came back, we dragged it back. Kuldeep, where are you mate? Disappointed last game, weren't you? You actually said sorry to me at the end of the game. So mate, don't you ever say sorry to me or anyone for what happens on the cricket field. What I want you to do is bounce back strong and today with 2/23 off four, it was an outstanding spell of bowling. Well done," Ponting said in a video shared by the Delhi Capitals.
The former Australia captain also had big praise for DC all-rounder Lalit Yadav who did a fine job with the ball, conceding 29 runs in his quota of 4 overs.
