Being captain of a T20 team, especially in IPL, which is a high pressure tournament, is not easy thing to do and unfortunately, every single thing you do will be scrutinised. He certainly got my full backing, Ponting said

Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting has backed Rishabh Pant to continue leading the side, saying the wicketkeeper batter is still young and learning the ropes of captaincy and remains the right choice for the job. Pant`s captaincy has been under the scanner all season with the youngster making some dubious calls during IPL-15.
On Saturday, in DC`s must-win game against Mumbai Indians, a strategic blunder cost the team a spot in the play-offs. With MI at 95 for three in 14.3 overs while chasing a target of 160, Pant made a strategic blunder as he refused to call for DRS after Tim David nicked the first ball of his innings and the on-field umpire didn`t give him out.
