Dream11 IPL 2020: Ajinkya Rahane acquires knowledge from Veteran Ricky Ponting during net practice session

Dream11 IPL 2020 is now less than a fortnight away.  The 13th Season of the Indian Premier League will start on 19th September. The countdown has been started and all the teams are grinding on the field for the upcoming season.  

In a recent post by Delhi Capitals twitter account, Ajinkya Rahne is seen having a fan boy moment. Rahane has been idealizing Australian Veteran Ricky Ponting since young age and always wished to play alongside him. But since Ponting has retired, he couldn't play along with him but he can surely grab pointing's knowledge to improve his skills, this is exactly what happened in the Delhi Capitals net practice session. Since April 2020, Rahane was waiting for this moment. IN April he said, he used to copy his (Ponting) batting style and is looking forward to work under him. And the day finally arrived for Rahane.  

In a tweet done by Delhi Capitals on their Twitter account Ponting was seen giving pro tips to Rahane, who like an obedient student is listening carefully. Delhi Capital twitter handle posted two photos and Mentioned Rahane April 2020 comment on Ponting.
