Punjab Kings' amazing performance continues in IPL 2026. This team is on top in the points table with 9 points. Head coach Ricky Ponting is very happy with this performance. However, Ponting gave wonderful advice to the players of Punjab. He said that even though the Punjab team is playing well, before sleeping every player must think about how they will be better tomorrow. Ricky Ponting said, 'We should be proud of our current position, but that does not mean that we will sleep tonight without thinking about how we can be better tomorrow.' Let us tell you that Punjab Kings have to play the next match against Lucknow Supergiants on 19th April.
Ponting praised Arshdeep
After Punjab's resounding win over Mumbai, Ponting praised the bowling of Arshdeep Singh. Ponting said that even though Arshdeep was in bad form, he worked hard during this period. Arshdeep took three wickets against Mumbai and this player took Punjab far ahead in the match by dismissing Ryan Rickleton and Suryakumar Yadav in the same over. After this he also dismissed Rutherford. Head coach Ricky Ponting said during 'Dressing Room Diaries' after the match, 'We talk about the players setting the tone; The way Arsh created the atmosphere in the first over, rotated the ball and pushed the team on the backfoot, it was amazing.
Arsh I know you are going through a difficult phase but the rest of us don't think so. You have got the fruits of your hard work in the last few days.Praise for Punjab's batting
Head coach Ricky Ponting also praised Punjab's batting. He especially appreciated the efforts of Prabhasimran. He said, 'Prabh, I have to praise you because you did not get many strikes during the powerplay.
Most of your hard work was done outside the powerplay, but you were batting systematically. You have given the best performance till date. Let us tell you that Punjab team had lost to RCB in the final last season, but this time it seems that this team is going to die after becoming the champion.
