The 46-year-old was killed in a car crash and is now survived by wife Laura and his two young children Chloe and Billy.

The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals sealed a decisive eight-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Wednesday to keep their playoff hopes alive in IPL 2022. So far, DC have won six games from 12 outings, and sit fifth in the points table. Following the conclusion of the match, former India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja felt that Pant has done a fine job while leading the team. Jadeja also said that DC head coach Ricky Ponting worked closely with Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, but backed the young wicketkeeper-batter to lead the side.
Delhi Capitals have endured a hard season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. They lies in the mid-table with qualification for the play-offs looking a tricky affair. The Ricky Ponting-coached side, however, is not out of race and can still advance provided other results go their way too. The mood in the DC camp remains upbeat though and it was visible when the squad was boarding the bus for the match against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday.
Delhi Capitals will aim to quickly recover from their loss in the previous match to stay in the IPL play-offs race while Rajasthan Royals will be eager to hold on to their winning momentum when the two teams clash on Wednesday. The Capitals have lost six of their 11 games and although they are fifth on the points table, they are bunched alongside Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, who also have 10 points from as many games.
Rishabh Pant's on-field decisions as Delhi Capitals captain in the ongoing IPL might have come under the scanner of former players but the wicketkeeper has got the "full backing" of head coach Ricky Ponting, who says "it's easy to make judgment from outside". Under Pant, DC have won just five of the 11 matches they have played so far. They suffered a 91-run thrashing at the hands of Chennai Super Kings on Sunday.

Delhi Capitals are currently at the fifth spot in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table with 10 points from 10 games. The side will next clash against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday evening and the Rishabh Pant-led side would look to register their second win on the trot to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the playoffs. In the last game, the side had defeated SunRisers Hyderabad after David Warner, Rovman Powell and Khaleel Ahmed emerged as standout performers. Heading into the game against CSK, it needs to be seen whether Prithvi Shaw would be in the mix to start for Delhi Capitals.
