Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has showered praise on head coach Ricky Ponting for getting the best out of everyone in the squad.

“It’s always special whenever I meet him. It’s like meeting a family member. Whenever he comes to the field, he brings that energy out of everyone. Everyone looks up to him. Everyone expects that he is going to say something different. He is going to attract everybody. So everyone is looking positive after watching Ricky in action,” Pant told the Delhi Capitals after his first training session with the team.
Pant added that they are looking to create a good environment in the team so that every player can excel and give their best to the side.
“As a team, we are discussing the environment to create in the team. Actually, it feels like a new team. I was observing the guys wh had come in. Everybody seems to be in a good frame of mind, they are willing to care for each other and help others.
“We are having a really good practice session. Hopefully, we can take this to the match situation,” Pant added.
