"Loved spending some time with my great mate"- DC head coach Ricky Ponting after interacting with Rishabh Pant in Bangalore
Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach Ricky Ponting recently opened up about spending time and interacting with Risabh Pant in Bangalore. DC faced off against RCB on Saturday afternoon at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Pant is sitting out of the ongoing IPL 2023 after sustaining serious injuries in a car accident in December last year. In his absence, the DC management have handed over the reins to veteran opening batter David Warner for the season.
Ahead of the game against RCB, Rishabh Pant visited Delhi Capitals' training session at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and interacted with his teammates.
Ricky Ponting took to his official Instagram handle to share a photo of himself with Pant and expressed happiness at meeting up with the wicketkeeper-batsman. He captioned the post:
"Loved spending some time with my great mate."
On the cricketing front, things did not pan out the way Ricky Ponting and Co. would have desired as RCB registered a comfortable 23-run victory against them. DC have now lost all five of their matches in IPL 2023 and are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table.
