Ponting, who featured for Kolkata Knight Riders and Pune Warriors India as a player during the initial seasons of the IPL, was the Director of Cricket for DC in the 2019 season, well before he joined the BCCI as President. In that season, Delhi performed well under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy and secured a place in the playoffs.
