This name needs no introduction. A true legend of the game, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was appointed as the Head Coach by Delhi Daredevils before the 2018 Mega Auctions.

Ponting has captained Australia to two ICC Cricket World Cups in 2003 and 2007 and has a reputation of being an astute strategist. He was the Head Coach of Mumbai Indians when they won the title in 2015. His experience of winning an IPL as MI's Head Coach will surely help DD this season.

He will also act as a role model for the youngsters and could well shape some future superstars in the Delhi camp. Ponting understands the Indian surfaces very well and knows what it takes to win big tournaments both as a player and as a coach.

His experience could be the last missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle for Delhi Daredevils. The fans are positive that Ponting's Midas Touch will do the trick for their team this year.
