"Give Him A Contract": Ricky Ponting Reveals Former KKR Pacer Made IPL Debut Because Of Him

Former India bowler Ashoke Dinda represented the likes of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during his long IPL career. Now it looks like the pacer's IPL career would never have kicked off, had it not been for none other than Ricky Ponting. Ponting had joined KKR in IPL's inaugural edition in 2008 and revealed that Dinda was originally a net bowler. But he bowled bouncers to all batters in every training session for a length of seven to 10 days and it left an impression on the former Australia captain, who ended up telling John Buchanan to give him a contract.

IPL 2022: Virat Kohli is overcooked, needs a break, says Ravi Shastri

Virat Kohli is mentally "overcooked" and needs to take a break from cricket in order to serve the country for at least another six-seven years, feels ex-India coach Ravi Shastri. Kohli has been going through a lean patch with just two 40-plus scores to show in last seven innings for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the current IPL season. The 33-year-old from Delhi, who hasn't scored a century in the last 100 matches across formats, had stepped down from T20 captaincy both for India and RCB and also quit Test leadership, while he was removed from ODI skipper's role.
