NEW DELHI: With Delhi Capitals set to take on the formidable Chennai Super Kings in
Visakhapatnam
on Sunday, the coaches of both the teams -
Ricky Ponting
and
Michael Hussey
- are looking forward to the clash.
Great batsmen and former teammates, both
Ponting
and
Hussey
shared some light-hearted banter ahead of the match, a video of which was shared by IPL on their X handle:
Both talk about their predictions of the last over of the match, where Hussey says that MS Dhoni will hit a six to finish the match and Ponting says that
Rishabh Pant
will win the match for DC on the last ball of the match.
Both the Aussies expressed their admiration and respect for each other but both refused to give an inch as far as the match was concerned.
DC have not beaten CSK in their last four outings and will have to play out of their skins to win on Sunday.
DC, with two losses from two away games, are set to play a "home" game against a side on four points and that's playing its first away game.
CSK and DC have faced only once at Vizag before. It was in Qualifier 2 of the 2019 IPL, which CSK won.
DC have never finished in the top six once they have lost the opening two games of the season.
