IPL 2025 Auction Live: Ricky Ponting On Rishabh Pant Target
Punjab Kings mentor and coach, Ricky Ponting, has spoken of the franchise’s pursuit of Rishabh Pant within the upcoming public sale. Here’s what he stated:
“Oh look, we’ve spoken about lots of players in the auction. I mean, Rishabh is going to be a target for most teams, you’d think,” Ponting instructed Star Sports.
“Certainly the ones that have kept a big enough purse. So we go into the auction with the biggest purse, but when you think about that, when you break it down, we’ve only kept the two players,” he added.
“So by the time we’ve bought another three or four players, our purse is going to be back the same as everyone else’s. So it’s not that big of an advantage, only the fact that we probably should be able to lock away our top three or four picks going into the auction.”
“So yeah, look, we’ve spoken about Rishabh, we’ve spoken about lots of players, and now we have to make sure that we just stick to our strategy,” Ponting defined.
