IPL 2022: Ponting gives reasons why the DC management went after Kuldeep Yadav
The DC head coach felt they could utilize Yadav’s talent in a better way by giving him a lot of confidence. “We are unlocking little handbrakes that might be holding players back. Even Kuldeep Yadav. For someone like him to be at KKR for a couple of years and not playing – I understand they have some good spinners – one of the reasons I identified him at the auction was for that reason.
I thought if we could bring him into our environment and really give him lots of confidence, I thought he could be one of the finds of the tournament,” he said in The Delhi Capitals podcast. “He is bowling beautifully and growing in this environment.”
