I tried to call him, but he didn't pick up the call: Ponting after PBKS buy Shreyas Iyer

PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting said that he tried to call Shreyas Iyer, but he didn't pick up the call after the franchise acquired the batter for ₹26.75 crore. Seemingly confirming that Iyer would be PBKS captain, Ponting said, "He’s been a successful captain in the IPL.... I’m excited to work with him again."
