Delhi Capitals

Uh, the camaraderie between, uh, Ricky Ponting and Shreyas Iyer is good to us.

They were together for Delhi Capitals as well when they won.

They were the runners of the IPL 2024.

I think, uh, those two are good combination, and I think the, uh, the owners have given Ponting the free hand to decide who they want.

led with the bat.

And I've also seen Ricky in, we were, uh, we were producing a documentary with Delhi Capitals, and we still are.

It'll keep going till they win.

Mm.

They have the Dubai Capitals.

Well, that's Delhi Capitals, you see.

You know, the, they have the Knight Riders, and the, the...

There are not many left who would be interested.

People who have been dropped.

So, Deandra Dottin has been dropped by UP Warriors and Delhi Capitals have dropped Lizelle Lee.

Yeah, I think these two go together really.

Because they're both kind of players that are definitely reaching the end of their career.

Spinners were once the go-to option with a spread field, but now they've become easy targets due to the surfaces having no grip.

For example, in the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals, for the first time since 2008, an IPL match was completed without a single over of spin bowled.

However, in the PSL, spin usage has actually increased from 31% to 39% in 2024.

So I like that spinners are still effective in the PSL.

I found that hunger.

And, you know, having Seattle at that time, Seattle, the coaches and so on, they were from Delhi Capitals.

So seeing them react to the way I'm bowling, the way I'm doing well and all of that, it sort of brought that spark that I needed.

And it just lifted my game to where I want it to be now, where I'm actually hungry every single day.

Yeah.

I played with him for the Delhi Daredevils, so yeah, never a dull moment, but I rated him as a bowler.

I liked-

Yep, I agree

I mean, 14 months is a long time.

I love Kev, and I want Kev to be really good at this, because there's a hell of a lot of people wanting him to fail, and wanting him to get bored, and go off to Mauritius or wherever he went, the Maldives, when he was with Delhi, Delhi Capitals.

But I think 14 months is, is enough time for Kev to have di- dipped his toe, scratched his itch, and go back to doing YouTube.

Um, Roto Watch, where are we all this week?
