Ponting Confirms Being In Active Talks To Coach Washington Freedom In MLC

Major League Cricket: Legendary Australia captain Ricky Ponting confirmed that he is in active talks to coach the Washington Freedom side in the second edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA.In the inaugural MLC season in 2023, which has been backed financially by various IPL sides, Washington, who were coached by Greg Shipperd, had finished at third place after losing to MI New York by 16 runs in the Eliminator. "We're not there yet, I haven't committed to anything just yet. There have been some discussions. I haven’t committed to anything just yet but I’ve had some initial chats. The time of the year (when the MLC is on) fits in for me," said Ponting to SEN Radio. The second edition of MLC will begin just four days after the Men’s T20 World Cup final is played at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 30. Before that, Ponting will be coaching Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. As of now, he’s not been confirmed yet to commentate on 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup. "I’ve got a few weeks now before the IPL which rolls into the T20 World Cup and the MLC is immediately after the World Cup. It’s potentially another big year of time away if I want it. There’s just some stuff that I have to work through. If I'm actually going to be commentating the T20 World Cup or not and if I'm not doing that, where does MLC fit in?" he added. Ponting had previously been at the helm for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and served in an assistant coach capacity under Justin Langer for the Australian team, notably in the 2019 Men’s ODI World Cup. "I like the coaching side of things and I’ve enjoyed my time at the IPL in the past six to seven years. I’ve been able to help around the Australian team on a couple of tours when Justin Langer was coach. The game is in my blood and I love working with the best players in the world and trying to find a way to make them a bit better. All in the hope that we can win some games along the way," he concluded. Read the full article

India Versus Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023: Virat Kohli Surpasses Sachin Tendulkar To Set Massive World Record In ODI Cricket

Virat Kohli celebrates after reaching the century mark against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023© AFP Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar to achieve a sensational record in ODI cricket during the Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan on Monday. The 34-year-old became the fastest to reach 13,000 runs in ODI cricket as he reached the milestone in his 267th innings. The world record previously belonged to legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar, who achieved the feat in 321 innings but Kohli was able to shatter the existing record with a brilliant knock against Pakistan. Australia great Ricky Ponting is third in the list as he took 341 innings to score 13,000 ODI runs. (India vs Pakistan: Asia Cup Live updates) Virat Kohli ultimately stayed unbeaten on 122 (94b) while KL Rahul  ended on unbeaten 111* (106b) as India scored a massive 356/2 in 50 overs against Pakistan in a crucial Super 4 match. India ultimately won the match by a record 228-run margin - their biggest win over Pakistan in terms of runs. This was Virat Kohli's fourth successive century at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. His scores from the last three matches at the venue read - 128*(119b), 131(96b) and 110*(116b). Virat Kohli and KL Rahul also set a new Asia Cup (ODI) record as they stitched a 233-run stand. They broke the record of Pakistan's Mohammad Hafeez and N Jamshed, who scored a 224-run stand against India in 2012. Virat Kohli has now equalled Sri Lanka great Kumar Sangakkara's record of four centuries in Asia Cup. Only Sanath Jayasuriya (6) has more tons in the continental event. The duo's performance was praised by Shubman Gill. "Very special for us. He (Rahul) was playing his first match after coming back from injury and to be able to score a century in these conditions was pretty magnificent," he said. "Obviously Virat Bhai also completed his century and got to 13000 runs which shows his great inspiration to all of us. The ball was doing a little bit in the initial period and they also bowled well with the new ball, but it was important for us to take them on and put the bad balls away to put the pressure back on them. "I think he (Shaheen) was trying to attack the wickets and I wanted to show intent, worked for me yesterday. There's a bit of seam movement and once the ball gets older we have to mix it up with slower ones, I found it difficult when they were mixing up their length and pace."

Even last year we played IPL and then we came to the UK and played one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is" "We as a team know what we have won and when was the last time we won. There is no point thinking about it and take pressure we just want to focus on the game, " said Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma said, "We will have a team briefing in the evening. A lot of guys have played in these situations. They have gone through these situations before. At some stage, they have faced pressure. We will have a good time in the middle. I had a look at the pitch so it will assist the seamers. The last time we played the reverse swing also happened on the last day." Rohit Sharma also mentioned former Australian player, Ricky Ponting, who had said that Australia have a slight advantage going into the WTC final. "Ricky Ponting is free to give his opinions.
