In IPL 2023, Sunil Gavaskar believes that the coaching of Ricky Ponting caused more harm than good to the Delhi Capitals.
The Delhi Capitals are back in the bottom two of the IPL points table after three seasons of an upward curve.
Back since DC have sacked the wooden spoon more than any group – a record multiple times, and had it not been for Sunrisers Hyderabad’s similarly dreary year,
DC might have completed the last once more, rather than a ninth-spot finish. Notwithstanding the direction of mentor Ricky Ponting and chief Sourav Ganguly.
Two of the best commanders throughout the entire existence of worldwide cricket – DC neglected to decipher the code.
The shortfall of Rishabh Gasp, a jumbled fighting line-up, and the talent of losing the match from a triumphant position hurt DC truly.
This ponders fittingly their sad mission as the establishment neglected to meet all requirements for the IPL 2023 End of season games.
All six of the teams that did not make the final four, including the Capitals, need to reflect as yet another season comes to an end. For starters.
The legendary Sunil Gavaskar believes their guru Ponting is one reason why DC was not successful enough.
Despite Ponting’s exploits as an international cricket player and captain, Gavaskar thinks that his coaching error hurt DC more than it helped.
The playoffs have started as a result, and just four clubs remain to compete for the coveted IPL championship.
Will we have a champion who has never won a trophy before? Or will the teams that have won it before benefit from the experience of big finals?
The reasons why those who did not participate were unable to advance will be examined afterward.
Preferably, such an examination ought to be finished after a couple of days have passed after the finals.
For then it is bound to be a contemplated one and not a profound one.” He wrote in his segment for Sportstar.
There is a lot to consider for the two teams that finished last. Even though their teams finished in the bottom half, they were coached by two of the greatest batters in baseball history.
There could be many purposes behind this. However, the fundamental one is the air that these two superb players have about them.
This prevents players, particularly domestic newcomers, from seeking advice from these masters. It’s hard for these players to think like those who weren’t as talented. In both technique and temperament because they had such exceptional skills and a wonderful temperament.
Gavaskar made the observation that the players did little to no better under Ponting. Any semblance of Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, and Priyam Garg were not really given open doors.
While the knick-knacks instance of Prithvi Shaw is yet to be inspected completely. The 23-year-old opener was out of control.
Getting dropped for six matches before he at last dealt with 50 years in DC’s penultimate round of the time.
In addition, DC was already behind when captain David Warner settled in. Gavaskar highlighted the flaws in DC’s easy approach, and they were unable to recover from their five losses.
A young, developing Indian player who is from the inside and may not be familiar with English may find the language to be a barrier.
That likely explains why certain players, to name just a few. Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, and Priyam Garg haven’t advanced at all.
Gavaskar stated that Prithvi Shaw’s failure to adapt to the delivery around the ribcage was the reason for the paucity of runs from some of the most talented and productive young players in the nation.
Then there was the unwillingness to shift the in-form Axar Patel up the batting order. Which was adamant and bordering on belligerent.
Knowing Axar’s batting prowess from his time as the Indian team’s coach up until last year. Ravi Shastri questioned whether Patel’s contract stipulated that he wouldn’t bat higher than number 7 in the batting order.
