‘Don’t you ever say sorry to me…’: Ricky Ponting to Kuldeep Yadav in front of Sourav Ganguly

Ricky Ponting tried to lift the morale of the team after their 23-run defeat to RCB. 

Finalists of IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals have lost all five of their matches in IPL 2023. The problem with DC is the fact that none of their matches have even run close. They have lost by huge margins, which in turn has resulted in their NRR plummeting to -1.4.

However, DC coach – Ricky Ponting, a three-time World Cup winner, appeared positive when he tried to lift the morale of the team after their 23-run defeat to RCB.

“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 front of DC’s Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly in attendance.

Kuldeep has picked four wickets from five games this season. 

“Lalit, I thought you did a good job with the ball as well buddy. Two sixes in that one over otherwise the reason we bought you in today was to bowl those hard overs in the Powerplay, just outside it, and you did a great job as well. Axar you were also great. 1/25 off three and our golden boy Mitchell Marsh, who picks up 2/18 of his couple overs as well. So well done,” added Ponting.
