Narine leads from the front as Kolkata trump Delhi in IPL
9 hrs ago
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting believes his side can make it to the playoffs of the IPL despite heavy defeat against Chennai Super Kings denting their net run-rate.
Pant-led DC have won just five of the 11 matches they have played so far, including the 91-run thrashing at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.
However, Ponting said DC can still make the play-offs with wins in all the remaining three matches.
"We would think we can make the play-offs with three wins. Eight wins might be enough to get in and one big win might help our net run rate. Who knows we can be in the final," Ponting said at the post-match press conference.
"That is what we can think of, what happened has happened and we would want to look to the future and look for a rebound from a bad performance,"
Ponting further said that he fully supports Pant's decision on the field.
"I fully back every decision he (Pant) takes on the field. I being a T20 captain before, I know you don't have a lot of time to think about especially under extreme pressure,"
"It is easy to make judgments from outside but trust me when you are in the middle it is not an easy thing to do," he added.
