No Shaw thing: Ponting puts heat on IPL star Delhi's Australian co
Delhi's Australian coach hopeful of tapping into Indian young gun's 'superstar' potential after his disappointing 2020 IPL campaign
Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting has revealed his struggle to unlock the best of Prithvi Shaw, the Indian batting prodigy he rates as one of the most talented players he has seen.
Shaw enters the upcoming Indian Premier League as one of world cricket's most intriguing prospects, with Ponting making him something of a pet project ahead of his fourth season at the helm of Delhi.
The 21-year-old passed 50 just twice and averaged 17.53 from 13 games during last year's IPL, and Ponting admitted he was left perplexed by the right-hander's training approach, particularly during his lean spell to end the tournament.
Shaw scored two half-centuries in three innings early in the campaign but then failed to pass 20 in his final eight knocks, and was left out of the side altogether for all but one of their playoff games as the Capitals lost in the final to Mumbai Indians.
