Hope Axar, Ashwin have left some wickets for IPL: Ponting

TIL Desk Sports/ An excited Ricky Ponting said he can’t wait to get working with Delhi Capitals trio Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant in the IPL later this year after the trio’s match-winning performances for India in the recent-concluded four-match Test series against England.

Axar claimed 27 wickets in three games as he equalled Dilip Doshi’s wicket for most wickets by an Indian in his debut series, while Ashwin was the highest wicket-taker in the series with 32 wickets. Wicketkeeper Pant also played a stellar role with both and gloves, hitting a match-winning hundred in the fourth and final Test in Ahmedabad.

“Can’t wait to get over to @delhicapitals and get to work. Hope @akshar2026 and @ashwinravi99 have some wickets left after taking all of them in the last month, and @rishabhpant17 has more runs to make!” Delhi Capitals head coach Ponting tweeted on Monday.
