The veteran who won IPL for Mumbai Indians became the coach of Punjab Kings, Preity Zinta made a big move
Punjab Kings has made a big decision before the Indian Premier League 2025. According to media reports, Ricky Ponting has become the new head coach of Punjab Kings. Ricky Ponting was earlier the coach of Delhi Capitals. Recently, after separating from Delhi Capitals, Ricky Ponting said that he wants to remain in the IPL and it is possible that he will become the coach in the next season as well and now this has happened. Preity Zinta's team has signed Ricky Ponting.
Ricky Ponting has been a great player and captain and he was the head coach of Delhi Capitals for the last seven years. However, under his coaching, Delhi's team could not become the champion. It is certain that the Delhi Capitals team managed to reach the final in IPL 2020. However, Mumbai Indians have definitely won the IPL under Ponting's coaching. Ponting was the coach of Mumbai Indians from 2014 to 2016 and in 2015 this team won the IPL title. Ponting has a long experience of IPL and obviously, this thing is going in his favor and this is the reason why Punjab Kings have made him the coach.
Ponting won another tournament.
Recently Ricky Ponting took over as the head coach of the Washington Freedom team in Major League Cricket and the team won the title under the leadership of this legend. The captain of this team was Steve Smith. Players like Maxwell and Head also played in this team. Now Preity Zinta and company would like Ponting to do the same magic by joining Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings have never won the IPL and Ponting has the talent that can give them their first title.
