Ricky Ponting Parts Ways With Delhi Capitals As Head Coach After Franchise’s Sixth-Place Finish in IPL 2024
The Australian was at the helm for Delhi Capitals since 2018 and his best effort was leading the franchise to the final in 2020, where they had lost to Mumbai Indians. Delhi Capitals had an underwhelming campaign in IPL 2024.
Ricky Ponting has parted ways with Delhi Capitals as the head coach after the franchise managed just seven wins out of 14 matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The Rishabh Pant-led side was good but in patches but failed to make it to the playoffs, mustering just 14 points with a Net Run Rate (0.377). This was the third season in a row that Delhi Capitals had failed to make it to the playoffs and this decision reportedly has been taken keeping in mind the mega-auction ahead of the next season. Delhi Capitals shared a 'Thank You' note for the Australian as they parted ways with him.
