Bengaluru, March 8: Excited about getting over to Delhi Capitals, head coach Ricky Ponting on Monday (March 8) hopes Indian trio of Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Rishabh Pant, who starred in the recent Test series against England, will carry their splendid form into the IPL 2021.

While Axar and Ashwin starred with the ball, together picking up 59 wickets against England in the four-match Test series which India won 3-1, wicketkeeper-batsman Pant also had a fruitful outing during the series behind the stumps as well as with the bat, smashing a match-winning hundred in the fourth and final Test.

Following the trio's splendid display in the recently concluded Test series, Ponting hopes that the spin duo has some wickets left to take in the upcoming IPL and also wishes to see Pant replicating his heroics in the cash-rich league slated to begin from April 9.

"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!" Ponting tweeted.

In response to the head coach's tweet, DC told the former Australian captain to not worry about the star trio's form.
