Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will hit the ground running with the opener between defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) and the second-most successful franchise in the tournament history, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on September 19 in Abu Dhabi.
cricket.com.au posted a video on their official Twitter account where Ponting revealed the most dangerous player from the CSK side. The 45-year-old did not spring up any surprises and revealed that it was indeed Mahendra Singh Dhoni!
IPL 2020: Delhi Capitals’ coach Ricky Ponting picks Mumbai Indians’ most dangerous player
He said, "Chennai Super Kings danger man, again, as probably has been for 10 or 12 seasons now is Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Just recently when he announced his retirement from international cricket means for me that he will be probably a bit more hungry for success in the IPL."
"They were disappointed I think not to have won the IPL last year," he added.
cricket.com.au also added a few clinical shots from the man himself in the video.
