DC Head Coach Ricky Ponting Talks About Prithvi Shaw’s Poor Performance In IPL 2023

In a recent statement, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting addressed Prithvi Shaw’s performance in the ongoing IPL 2023, acknowledging that the young cricketer has been struggling to make an impact on the field. Shaw was notably excluded from the team’s previous match against Sunrisers Hyderabad following a series of underwhelming performances

Ponting said “It just came to the point, where yes, it was six games this season, but I think it was six or seven games at the back end of last season as well. I think it’s 13 [12] games since Prithvi has made a fifty opening the batting for the Delhi Capitals, which, if you look throughout the tournament, there are a lot of other players at the top of the order with other teams that are playing a whole lot better than Prithvi,”

“I think the six games that he played, it was just over 40-odd runs, averaging about 7 or 8, so that’s not what we require right now. So, it was a tough decision to leave him out, but hopefully, the team that we put on the park tomorrow can win another game for us,” he added.
