“I’ve been here for quite some time. Ricky Ponting’s mentality has always amazed me. Ponting attempts to motivate the players if a difficult circumstance arises, and he also tries to lighten the mood by cracking a joke. He often speaks to the players individually and asks them to be ready for the game. He concentrates on each and every player, and I admire this quality in him “According to Sakariya.
Sakariya also described why, after dismissing Aaron Finch in the game against KKR, he celebrated in a unique way – the legendary Dragon Ball Z style. He also mentioned how his father wished for him to shake the stumps of a good international batsman.

“This season, my celebration style was particularly essential because I had been sitting on the bench for a long time. I’ve always wanted to contribute to the team’s success. I was overthinking a little before the game since I couldn’t sleep. Then I considered how I wanted to realize my father’s ambition of shaking the stumps of a good international player. If I ended up bowing the batter out, I knew how I’d celebrate.
“I celebrated in the form of a Dragon Ball Z cartoon character, and you can teleport by placing two fingers on your forehead, and that was my way of paying homage to my father,” Sakariya added.
“It’s been a positive experience.” We’ve gotten ourselves out of some tight spots. We were successful in winning some critical competitions, and it was a positive experience. It’s been a terrific learning curve for me as a player,” he added.
Sakariya did not participate in the first seven games for the Delhi Capitals, and he only got his chance in the eighth game, which was against KKR.
Sitting on the bench, according to the left-arm seamer, is difficult since confidence levels plummet.

“It is the responsibility of coaches to keep their players engaged. It’s part of the profession to play both good and awful games. Sitting on the bench is difficult because your confidence suffers. But you must maintain your faith. Because you are not on the ground, your match fitness may suffer. When you are not a member of the starting XI, it is difficult to manage this “”Says the 24-year-old,” he says.
“Ajit Agarkar (assistant coach) and I recently discussed which balls to bowl to various batters. What are their areas of weakness, and what are my areas of strength? We’re currently working on it. Initially, we concentrated on the technological aspects. I used to question him about his own experiences “He came to a conclusion.
