‘Captain came with the move’: Ricky Ponting saw Sris Iyer’s strategic call as a big win over LSG as PBKS Clinic

New Delhi: Punjab King’s head coach Ricky Ponting credited Skipper Shreyas Iyer’s strategic number of strategic view for the team’s loud victory over Lucknow super veterans, highlighting the decision to promote Josh Englands as a significant turn in the match.
After PBKS, only one lost the opener Priyash Arya for one, the year call helped to stabilize the innings quickly to send it to Englandis.

“It was actually a step with the captain,” Ponting revealed after the match. “Shreyas thought, on that kind of pitch and against that attack, Illis would be the right man if we lose an initial wicket. Mayank usually bowls at least, and it suits Illis. As you saw, those bridge shots were very amazing.”

The move allowed PBK to keep back the middle-order firepower in Iyer, Nehal Wadera and Shashank Singh-a strategy that paid. Post by Camos from Prabhasimran’s explosives 91 and Iyer (45) and Shashank (33 Not Out), PBK posted a tough 236/5.
“We really bat deeply-Azmatullah is at number nine-so our top order plays with freedom. Once we were more than 70 in Powerplay, all the speed was with us,” Ponting said.

Ponting also praised the stability and hunger of Prabhasimran. “I challenged both Priyash and Prabhasimran to grow up. He was a little less than a hundred, but he was outstanding the whole time.”
Arshdeep Singh acted with the ball, took 3/16 to get LSG’s chase out of track. “He is convincing each game more. It sets the tone first,” Ponting said.

With this victory, PBK moved to second place in the table. Meanwhile, LSG will now have to win all its remaining matches and hope that other results will go on their way to stay in the playoff hunt.
