Delhi Capitals will be kicking off their IPL 2020 campaign against the Kings XI Punjab on Sunday at Dubai, and ahead of the clash, coach Ricky Ponting spoke about the preparation of the team over the last couple of weeks.
It was while speaking about his players that Ricky Ponting gave some clues on the line-up that may possibly be assembled for the franchise’s inaugural clash at the Dubai International Stadium.
Ricky Ponting sort of surprised everyone when he said that India batsman Ajinkya Rahane’s spot in playing XI is not guaranteed, and that they will see how things go on. He did, however, add that Rahane is in the ‘mix of things’ for the first match, and said that the final call on his inclusion would be taken just before the toss on Sunday.
