When Pandjab Kings prepared for his first clash of the IPL title against Royal Challengers Bengalur, captain Shreyas Iyer chose head coach Ricky Ponting as the drive power of the team for the IPL 2025 team.
During his pre -line interaction before the final of June 3 at the Narendra Modi stadium, Iyer was thinking about Ponting’s influence in shaping a balanced, motivated team. He pointed to the calm presence of the ponting, equal treatment of players and motivating access as key elements of the successful PBKS campaign.
“Ricky Ponting is an amazing coach who manages players exactly. The one who stands out with him is that he treats each player as well. This is a real great support for each individual, whether junior or senior is wet,” Iyer said.
“I have never seen his emotions rise up and down regardless of the result. This is a big coach. And the assertive thoughts he provides with his speeches before and after the game, giving us immense support.
Ponting’s appointment with the head coach before the season came with high expectations. After eight seasons with Delhi Capitals, where he approached Silver Square, but never received the title, his transfer to the predominantly revised PBKS settings was considered a new beginning. Under his leadership and Iyer’s leadership, Punjab ended the 11-year-old dry-off drought and achieved only his second final in the history of Ipl-Jich the first since 2014.
While Stint Ponting and Delh saw Maxim – including Play -off qualifications in 2019, 2020 and 2021 – his recent years have been marked by inconsistentness, with DC ending out of the top four in three consecutive season. This chapter closed with a coaching transfer in DC and Ponting’s transition to Pandjáb introduced a chance to redemption.
In his debut year with PBKS, he supervised the ponting with a bold auction strategy, built the core of fearless young players, and instilled the winning mentality that transmitted the team through high -pressure games. Several players attributed His leadership style as a spine their revival this year.
Now that one victory has been standing since the completion of its unfinished IPL business, Ponting has the opportunity to lead the Kings pandjab to their first title – a moment that could redefine its heritage and the future of franchise.
