My job is to not just make young Indians better players but make them better human beings too: DC coach Ponting

New Delhi, March 24 (PTI): A disciplined life off the field is key to producing disciplined performances on it, feels Australian great Ricky Ponting, who would love to create good human beings out of solid cricketers.

“The better person you are, it is easy to become a better player. If you haven’t got your personal life in order, it is really difficult to become a disciplined performer on the field,” Ponting said at a promotional event of IPL franchise Delhi Capitals here on Friday.

Ponting, who had his run-ins with the Australian cricketing establishment back in the 1990s, understands the kind of attention young Indian players can attract even after just one good innings in the IPL.
