Combative India coach Gautam Gambhir has taken a swipe at Ricky Ponting as the form of struggling batting kingpins Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma come into focus ahead of their five-Test series with Australia.
India coach Gautam Gambhir has taken aim at Ricky Ponting after the Australian great questioned the form of skipper Rohit Sharma and fading ace Virat Kohli.
“What does Ricky Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? He should be talking about Australia,” Gambhir said. Kohli’s two most recent Test tons came against Australia – in India – and the West Indies. He did make a century late in November 2019, against Bangladesh. This year he is averaging just 22.72 in six Tests, and has fallen out of the top 20 list of the ICC men’s Test batting rankings for the first time in a decade.
