Marsh in all praise for Delhi Coach Ricky Ponting
The 30-year-old praised Ricky Ponting, who is the head coach of Delhi Capitals. He said that the former Australian skipper instills confidence in the players of his team.
“Everyone speaks about him so much and what he’s achieved in the game, but I got a real sense of how much he cares for his players – I guess that’s probably what he was like as a captain and a leader of a team. Just the way he makes you feel – he made me feel like I was a really important player for Delhi. You gain confidence from that when a leader instils that sort of confidence in you” Marsh said for Ponting
