NEW DELHI: After Delhi Capitals' (DC) crucial victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their final league game of IPL 2024, India pacer Ishant Sharma shared insights into his special bond with DC head coach Ricky Ponting, likening the Australian mentor to an elder brother.
Ishant played a pivotal role in Delhi's win, where anything less than a victory would have spelled elimination from playoff contention. His stellar performance earned him the Player of the Match award for his bowling figures of 3/34 in four overs, which included the crucial dismissals of Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul, and Deepak Hooda, providing his team with a strong start while defending a target of 209.
