Ability of Ponting & Shreyas to keep things simple is invaluable: Jamieson
In a world where cricket is often shrouded in complexity, the ability of some players and coaches to keep things simple is invaluable. For Kyle Jamieson, the experience and leadership of PBKS coach Ricky Ponting and skipper Shreyas Iyer is a shining example of this. In the days leading up to the Qualifier 2 match against DC, Jamieson praised the duo’s ability to keep things relaxed and calm, and their focus on simplicity in a high-pressure game.
Ponting and Iyer have both been involved in high-profile games throughout their careers, and their experience is evident on the field. However, it is not just their technical knowledge that has impressed Jamieson, but also their ability to keep things simple and not overcomplicate matters.
“When we concentrate on what’s important, but we try not to overcomplicate matters,” Jamieson said in an interview. “They have both been involved in high-profile games throughout their careers, and they know how to deal with the pressure. They keep things relaxed and calm, and that’s something that we can all learn from.”
In a game where even the smallest mistake can prove costly, the ability to keep things simple is a valuable asset. Ponting and Iyer’s focus on simplicity has allowed them to stay calm under pressure, and to make decisions that are based on instinct rather than panic.
For Jamieson, this ability to keep things simple has been a key factor in the team’s success. “When you’re in a high-pressure game, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and start overthinking things,” he said. “But Ricky and Shreyas have been great at keeping things simple, and that’s allowed us to stay focused and calm.”

One of the key benefits of keeping things simple is that it allows players to focus on the present moment, rather than getting caught up in the hype and pressure of the game. Ponting and Iyer’s ability to do this has been particularly impressive, as they have been able to stay calm and composed even in the most intense situations.
For Jamieson, this ability to stay focused and calm is something that he has learned from Ponting and Iyer. “They’re both great leaders, and they’ve been able to stay calm and focused even in the most intense situations,” he said. “That’s something that I’ve learned from them, and it’s something that I try to take into my own game.”
In the end, the ability of Ponting and Iyer to keep things simple is a valuable asset for PBKS. It allows them to stay focused and calm, even in the most intense situations, and to make decisions that are based on instinct rather than panic. As Jamieson said, it’s something that the team can all learn from, and it’s a key factor in their success.
