I've got incredible memories as a player, and now coaching opportunities. It's come to be able to work under the great Ricky Ponting. He was an amazing leader as a captain, and now to be able to coach under him. He is one of the best coaches in the world now. So, for me to be able to learn the ropes under Ricky, I am really excited."Delhi Capitals' head coach Ricky Ponting and bowling coach James Hopes assembled at the team hotel in Mumbai.
