Many top-order players from other teams are batting better than Prithvi Shaw: Ricky Ponting. cricket news
New Delhi: Prithvi ShawK’s pre-tournament net sessions convinced delhi capitals head coach Ricky Ponting A wonderful IPL season awaits him but now he has to accept that many openers from other IPL teams are doing better than the colorful Mumbai batsmen.
Shaw has been dropped after playing six matches and it is unlikely that DC will go back to him anytime soon.
“I think it’s 13 games (keeping IPL 2022 in mind as well) since Prithvi has scored 50 with the bat for Delhi Capitals. There are a lot of other players with other teams who are playing a whole lot better.” compared to the earth,” Ponting said ahead of the team’s match Sunrise Hyderabad on Saturday.
Shaw scored just 47 runs in six matches in this IPL.
“Prithvi at his best, we know he is a match-winner. That’s one reason why he is a retained player because we know if he bats a certain amount of times, we can get around 95,” he added. % wins matches.
“But so far this season, he hasn’t been able to produce. I think the only six matches he has played were 40-plus runs, so that’s not what we need right now.”
“So it’s a difficult decision to drop him but hopefully the team he puts on the park tomorrow can win us another game.”
“When he came this year, he’s been working really hard on his fitness for a few weeks at the NCA, he turned up in good physical shape and his work ethic and training and everything in the nets suggested to me that Maybe just such a big year for him but it hasn’t worked yet.”
Even playing alongside England’s Phil Salt hasn’t worked out for the Capitals this season.
Ponting said, “We needed to try to find a little bit of spark in the top order and Phil Salt went in there in the last game but that didn’t work either.”
Ponting hopes that if Shaw gets another chance, he can finish things on a high.
“But having said that there’s a long way to go and if things don’t work out with our current top-order, there’s no reason he can’t come back into the team and hopefully start the tournament really strong.” can end with.”
Only Rahane has made himself aggressive from anchor
Ponting feels that the role of an anchor is dying out in T20 cricket as most teams are obsessed with big sixes and high strike-rates.
“If you look at what all the teams are doing, everyone is going all out in the powerplay and just trying to get a full flight. And I don’t think I’ve hit that many sixes in an innings. ” As good as I have seen in this IPL so far,” Ponting said during the pre-match press conference.
Ponting feels that attacking batsmen can turn into anchors but this is not true.
“I do believe in, you know, if you have an aggressive, powerful batter, they can change their game to play the anchor role, but anchor players very rarely convert to a 200 strike rate. The only one I can think of this year is Rahane,” he said.
“So I think maybe the anchor role is reducing a bit, but it also comes down to how you are going on the day as an individual batsman. Sometimes you don’t get the starts you want to. And so you are almost forced to play a different kind of role.
“So it’s a day-to-day thing but I think the real role of someone batting first or batting at number three and trying to bat a full innings I think is taking over.”
Delhi Capitals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday.

“So it’s important for us to try and bring some consistency in our batting line-up,” Markram said.
“Sometimes in sports, changes are just based on matchups, but now we are in a position as a team where hopefully we have found our life balance and hopefully we get the right combination in tomorrow’s game.” Will do and we will get some consistency with the bat.”
Markram said that for the batsmen, it is more about addressing the mindset.
“Yes, that (batting) has unfortunately been our downfall. But I think it’s really more about addressing the mindset and the mental approach towards it,” Markram said.
“So we’re trying to free people up and get them to express themselves as best they can. I just felt like we were being a little too conservative and playing a little bit within ourselves unfortunately .
“But now it’s about giving players the freedom to try and be the best version of themselves and whatever comes from there, I think it becomes a lot easier.”
