Delhi: Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting believes that the new impact player rule in IPL will eliminate the importance of all-rounders. Ponting also said that captain David Warner will bat as an opener.
Determine the playing eleven after the toss. This year’s IPL season will begin with new rules such as replacing the batter or bowler with an impact player depending on the situation of the match. But Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting believes that the impact player rule will eliminate the importance of all-rounders. “With permission to change a player during the game, teams will hesitate to include the all-rounder in the XI. There is no need to include an all-rounder in the team when it is convenient to change the batsman or bowler depending on the situation. Ponting says that the relevance of the all-rounder, who bowls two or three overs and bats at number seven, will disappear with the impact player.
David Warner will lead Delhi as captain Rishabh Pant is out injured in a car accident. Ponting also stated that Warner will open for Delhi even though he batted fourth in the last ODI against India. Warner is one of the best openers in IPL history. The Aussie will continue to benefit from his opening form. No one can make up for Rishabh Pant’s absence. It is hoped that the young players will rise to the occasion,’ said Ponting.
Delhi Capitals Squad: Rishabh Pant(out), David Warner(capt), Khalil Ahmed, Yash Dul, Aman Hakeem Khan, Praveen Dubey, Sarfaraz Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Lalit Yadav, Mitchell Marsh, Mukesh Kumar, Mustafizur Rahman, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Lungi Nrichidi, An Norkya, Vicky Ostwal, Manish Pandey, Ripal Patel, Axar Patel, Rovman Powell, Riley Russo, Phil Salt, Chetan Zakaria, Ishant Sharma, Prithvi Shah.
