Speaking about working together, Ponting has confessed that he gets along very well with the former Indian captain and they want to help Delhi Capitals clinch their first title this season.
“Sourav and I have always got along just fine. We have great respect for one another,” Ponting was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
“We’ve actually interacted a lot since we’ve been retired. We’ve been on cricket committees together and spent a bit of time talking. He will be an advisor. He might not have anything to do with us on game day but he will be around the team, around meetings. I’m very, very open to that.”
