Ricky Ponting made a big statement in praise of Shreyas Iyer
Ricky Ponting said that, I think he has taken his game to a new level. He is now a more mature player. I think he considers sports and sports situations far better than ever. I think the way he played tonight was proof of him. He will be disappointed by himself that he could not score a winning run. He could not win his team. “
He further said, “Because I know how much he is proud to be the person who is present to win the game. But see, I love working with him. He talked to all the players. All the players like to work with him. The way he talks to him, whether he is during the game or during practice or in the team hotel.
In the previous season, Shreyas Iyer played a key role in getting the IPL title to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). However, the defending champion released him before the mega auction. After this, Punjab Kings took a bold step and spent Rs 26.75 crore to secure their services – a decision that has proved to be effective so far. Head coach Ricky Ponting commented that Iyer had become more mature and now shows more confidence in his on-field decisions.
