[WATCH]- Ricky Ponting Teaches Angkrish Raghuvanshi A Valuable Lesson On Mastering The Pull Shot Technique

Angkrish Raghuvanshi seems to be making the most of his time in the IPL. On Monday, he was seen learning from the respected Ricky Ponting. Renowned as one of the premier batsmen in cricket history, Ricky Ponting earned acclaim for his impeccable pull shots.

The Australian icon ranks third in international cricket’s all-time highest run-scorers list, trailing only Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara. In addition to his batting prowess, Ponting showcased his leadership abilities by guiding Australia to ODI World Cup triumphs in 2003 and 2007, following his initial victory as a player in 1999.

Concluding his international career in December 2012, Ponting has since forged a successful path in coaching and broadcasting. Presently, he is coaching the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, demonstrating his continued involvement in the sport.

After DC’s match against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on Monday, Ponting dedicated some time to elucidate the finer points of executing a pull shot proficiently to the budding Indian cricketer Angkrish Raghuvanshi. A video of this interaction is circulating on social media.

Raghuvanshi debuted for KKR in the ongoing IPL season. In eight matches, he has amassed 118 runs at a strike rate of 161.64, featuring a half-century.

The 18-year-old rose to prominence as India’s top scorer during the 2022 ICC U-19 World Cup, tallying 278 runs across six innings at an average of 46.33, leading India to victory in the tournament.

KKR secured their sixth victory in the IPL 2024 season by defeating DC by seven wickets on their home ground. DC batted first but were restricted to 153/9 in 20 overs, largely due to Varun Chakaravarthy’s exceptional performance, claiming three wickets while conceding only 16 runs.
