A few days ago, Delhi Daredevils’ Shreyas Iyer spoke about the fiery speech their coach Ricky Ponting had delivered to the team ahead of the IPL 2018. According to him, the words by Ricky Ponting boosted the morals of the team who has not won a single title in the IPL season so far. Now the batsmen did spill the beans about the speech but now, hear Ponting himself talk about the same in a video.

In the video, he says that it’s the duty of a coach to make them believe that they can win. “I hope the boys enjoyed the speech because I am gonna give them more of this in the upcoming months,” said Ponting. The official page of Delhi Daredevils shared a clip on social media where Ricky Ponting was seen talking about the speech. They captioned the video, “I'm here to make the boys believe that we can win the IPL." @shreyas41 said he had goosebumps while listening to Ricky Ponting's speech. Now we know why! Watch him give us a gist of what that speech involved. 😀 #DilDilli #DelhiDaredevils #DD #VIVOIPL #IPL #Delhi #Cricket #SportsTeam #Dilli #NewDelhi #Delhigram #DelhiDiaries #Delhiigers #Delhitimes #DelhiDiary #Cricket #Cricketer #Sport #Sports.”

Ponting had coached Mumbai Indians in 2015 (when they won the title) & 2016. However, due to conflict of interest, he resigned from MI. After Rahul Dravid stepped down, the Australian former captain started donning the hat of a coach.  Talking about team Delhi Daredevils, have qualified for the semi-finals only for a couple of years i.e. 2008, 2009. In 2012, the team had qualified for the playoffs. For the remaining years, DD has been eliminated from the group stage itself. The team as of now has a strong batting lineup with cricketers like Shreyas Iyer, Gautam Gambhir, Jason Roy, Prithvi Shaw and a few others. We are sure that the fans of the team are hoping for DD to have a good season ahead. Tickets for the games have already gone on sale.
