Delhi Capitals (DC) head coach and former Australian captain Ricky Ponting made a major prediction about the team\u2019s star-opener, Prithvi Shaw for the IPL<\/a>\u2018s 2023 season, said he will have a great season this year.<\/p>\n Having been bought by the Delhi franchise back in 2018 as an 18-year-old, Prithvi has been crucial to the side\u2019s success in the last few years despite an up-and-down form. He has even played a few matches for the India National Cricket Team. Never posting up high averages for an opener, Shaw is instrumental for Delhi due to the quick starts he provides to his team.<\/p>\n IPL 2023<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Dream11 Prediction<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Fantasy Cricket Tips<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Cricket Match Prediction Today<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Cricket News<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Cricket Live Score<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Despite a few great performances, some might say that Prithvi Shaw is yet to have a breakout IPL season, where he might be in contention for the Orange Cap. Capitals coach Ponting believes that 2023 will be the season where we will see \u201cthe real Prithvi Shaw.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI spoke with him the other day about his attitude and the way that he\u2019s working and how things are going. And I honestly feel this is going to be his biggest season ever in the IPL. He just has that different look in his eye this year. You can see him probably hungry than ever. and yeah he has had some success for us. But I think you know the the level of talent and ability that he\u2019s got, I think we\u2019re really going to see the real Prithvi Shaw this season,\u201d said Ricky.<\/strong><\/p>\n IPL 2023<\/b><\/a> |<\/b> India National Cricket Team<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Delhi Capitals (DC)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Lucknow Supergiants (LSG)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Mumbai Indians (MI)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Punjab Kings (PBKS)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Rajasthan Royals (RR)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH)<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Prithvi Shaw will most probably be opening the innings for DC alongside captain David Warner. Despite the Australian\u2019s poor form, this duo has the potential of being the most explosive opening partnership in IPL 2023.<\/p>\n Rishabh Pant was involved in a horrific car crash in December 2022. Although he suffered multiple injuries in his head, foot, and back, he was lucky to have gotten away from the accident without a massive injury. Suffice it to say he will be missing IPL 2023.<\/p>\n Having been a solid middle-order batsman and a match finisher, Pant was also handed the captaincy of Delhi Capitals following Shreyas Iyer\u2019s exit from the side in 2022. Although the team did not make it to playoffs, Rishabh\u2019s role with the bat and behind the stumps is vital for his side\u2019s success.<\/p>\n While speaking to reporters recently, Ricky Ponting lamented the absence of his star player and how he is amongst the best wicket-keeper batsmen in the World.<\/p>\n \u201cPant is a huge loss and it doesn\u2019t matter who we bring in as we are still going to miss Rishabh. I am not going to joke or try and gloss over that fact and he is one of the best players in the world in three formats of the game.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Delhi Capitals will start their IPL 2023 season on April 1 against Lucknow Super Giants. The franchise from Delhi will be looking to pick up its first IPL title.<\/p>\n Also read: IPL 2023: Gujarat Titans\u2019 R Sai Kishore Compares Hardik Pandya\u2019s Captaincy With MS Dhoni, Says They Are Similar<\/a><\/p>\n Virat Kohli<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Rohit Sharma<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Rishabh Pant<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>KL Rahul<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Suryakumar Yadav<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Sanju Samson<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Shreyas Iyer<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Yuzvendra Chahal<\/b><\/a> | <\/b>Jasprit Bumrah<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nRicky Ponting comments on Rishabh Pant\u2019s absence in IPL 2023, says the team will miss him as a player and as a captain<\/h2>\n
