IPL 2023 | Ricky Ponting has to be blamed for DC’s poor run in tournament, remarks Virender Sehwag

Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has slammed David Warner saying the DC head coach should be blamed for the team’s poor run of form. 

"I think I said before that Punjab have passed on the axe to Delhi, so now the axe has reached Delhi. When a team losses, the coaches are credited, so when the team losses, they should be held responsible. Even though we have said so many times that Ponting has done a brilliant job, and took them to the finals, they now reach the playoffs almost every year now. He took all those credits, now he has to take this credit as well,” Sehwag stated to Cricbuzz. 

"This is not the Indian team where they take credit for the wins and for the losses, someone else is blamed. There is zero roles of a coach in an IPL team. The big responsibility is man-management and giving the players that confidence, but in the end, a coach looks good only when the team performs well which Delhi haven't done at all. I feel Delhi has reached that point where they are confused about what should they do to change their fortune," he explained.
