Ricky Ponting is known for his hard-featured and authoritative personality on and off the cricket field. He still holds authority as the head coach of the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. At the end of a match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Ponting’s cold look at a missed opportunity utterly revealed his no-nonsense attitude toward the game.
Ricky Ponting’s Strong Presence
Ponting, who was famous even in his playing days for his no-nonsense attitude, now keeps on this demeanor as he supervises the Delhi Capitals in the IPL. His grumpy attitude and constant concentration are evidence of his commitment to the highest level and his intolerance for mistakes in the field.
In the game that determined their fate, the Delhi Capitals were on the run to save a hefty total of 208 runs against LSG. The LSG had scored 135/7 after 15 overs. It appeared that the victory was theirs, but finally, the DC snatched the victory. Nonetheless, the 16th over was the only time when Yudhvir Singh’s catch was missed by Jake Fraser-McGurk, and DC’s momentum was slightly deflated.

Arshad Khan’s inability to last more than half a century and Nicholas Pooran’s valiant effort with the bat were not enough to stop LSG from winning.
