India vs Australia, 2023: Champion captain Ricky Ponting, who won the World Cup twice to Australia, has made such a comment on Team India's batsman Virat Kohli, which Indian fans will never forget. This comment of former Australia captain Ricky Ponting regarding Virat Kohli has won the hearts of Indian fans. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that the Border Gavaskar Trophy has proved to be a nightmare for batsmen and he will not judge Virat Kohli's form based on his performance in it. Virat Kohli could not score a half-century in the last 14 innings, scored only 111 runs in three Tests against Australia, but Ricky Ponting is not worried about it. Ricky Ponting said in the ICC review, 'I am not looking at the form of any batsman in this series, because this series has been like a nightmare for the batsmen.'

Ponting made such a comment about Virat Kohli

Ricky Ponting said, 'As far as Virat Kohli is concerned, I have repeatedly said that champion players always find a way. It would seem that at the moment he is in bad form and is not scoring runs, because we all expect runs from him. He is also realistic. The batsman himself knows when his form is bad and he is not scoring runs. No one else needed to tell him. I am not worried about Kohli as I know he will return to form.

Indian fans will never forget

Ricky Ponting, who has played in England many times, knows that the conditions there will be completely different from the conditions in the subcontinent in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) in June. Ponting, ranked third among batsmen with the most international hundreds, said that if India qualifies for the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June, it should consider a change in its batting order. Ricky Ponting said, 'A player like KL Rahul is out of the team and Shubman Gill is playing. Both have experience of playing Test and both of them can be fielded in the same team.

Rahul can play in middle order

Gill was preferred over Rahul in the third Test, who could only score 38 runs in three innings of the first two Tests. Although Rahul has scored two centuries in England, Ponting believes that both he and Gill can be fielded at the Oval. Ricky Ponting said, 'Shubman can start the innings and Rahul can play in the middle order. He has played cricket in England before. If it is only one Test, then the selection of the team will be very important.
