Ponting ne Shreyas Iyer ko no.3 pe hi rakhne ka diya funda
Punjab Kings ne Kolkata Knight Riders ko hara kar ek historic jeet hasil ki. Iske baad, head coach Ricky Ponting se pucha gaya ki kya woh skipper Shreyas Iyer ko number 3 se hatakar Glenn Maxwell ko upar bhejna chahenge. Maxwell, jinko PBKS ne Rs 4.2 crore mein khareeda tha, runs banane ke liye struggle kar rahe hain. Maxwell chhah matches mein sirf 41 runs bana paye hain. Dusri taraf, Iyer, PBKS ke liye number 3 pe ek sacche leader rahe hain aur chhah matches mein 250 runs bana chuke hain.
Ponting ne Iyer ki position Maxwell se badalne ke sujhav par hanste hue kaha ki woh captain ke saath chedkhani nahi karna chahte.
“Dekho, humare paas Shreyas Iyer jaisa player number 3 pe hai. Agar mujhe apni job bachani hai, toh main captain ko nahi hatauunga. Jaisa ki hum sab jante hain, captain batting order decide karta hai. Woh number 3 pe khush hai aur tournament mein outstanding raha hai. Hum hamesha game mein sahi time dekhte hain,” Ponting ne PBKS ki KKR par jeet ke baad kaha.
“Yeh numbers ke bare mein nahi hai ki yeh log kahan batting karte hain. Yeh sahi time ke bare mein hai ki aap unhe game mein kab inject karte hain. Toh humare paas batting order mein flexibility hai. Humne is season mein kuchh players ko alag alag positions pe khelaaya hai. Jaise jaise season aage badhega, aur humari team settle hogi, shayad players ke positions mein jyada changes nahi honge,” unhone aage kaha.
KKR ke khilaf match se pehle PBKS ne liya tough decision
KKR ke khilaf match se pehle, PBKS ne ek ajeeb decision liya aur all-rounder Marcus Stoinis ko Playing XI se bahar kar diya aur wicketkeeper Josh Inglis ko debut cap di. Ponting ne is decision ko tough but tactical bataya.
“Haan, Stoinis ko bahar karna ek tough decision tha, hum Inglis ko team mein lana chahte the. Inglis ek acha spin player hai, aaj shayad aisa nahi laga, lekin woh spin ka bahut hi acha player hai. Uski keeping duniya ke kisi bhi wicketkeeper se kam nahi hai, aur hum Maxwell ke saath ball ke matchups chahte the,” Ponting ne kaha.
“Hum Marco ke saath bhi ball ke matchups chahte the. Toh badkismati se, Marcus Stoinis ko bahar hona pada, lekin do din baad hum Bangalore mein unke khilaf khelenge. Kaun jaane hum us match ke liye kya combination lekar aayein?”.
Agle match mein kya hoga?
Ab dekhna hoga ki PBKS agle match mein kaun si playing XI lekar aati hai aur kya Maxwell apna form wapas paate hain. Yeh match global sports updates mein bhi trending hai. Cricket fans latest news aur analysis ke liye bege hain.
