Legendary Australian cricketer Ricky Ponting will be playing the role of the new head coach of the Punjab Kings franchise. He was previously with Delhi Capitals in the same role but parted ways with DC just over two months ago after spending seven years with them. His appointment has come before the beginning of the retention process and the mega auction, which means he would be playing a major role in the future layout of the PBKS side in the Indian Premier League.
