One Of The Players To Watch At T20 World Cup: Ricky Ponting On India Star

Rishabh Pant is currently leading Team India in the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa. In the first T20I played on Thursday at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India suffered a seven-wicket loss even after posting 211/4 on the board. Pant had scored 29 runs off just 16 deliveries as he batted at No.4 position. Pant's Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting has now weighed in on where Pant should bat and why he can be utilised as a floater.

Kohli will have to find a solution to his batting woes, but he'll work it out quickly: Ponting

Ricky Ponting has said that India batting stalwart Virat Kohli will have to find a solution to his batting woes himself, adding that given the "absolute professional" that he is, the former captain "works it out pretty quickly". "There was a lot of talk and conjecture around the IPL about how tired and burnt out he (Kohli) might be. That's for him to work out and assess and find ways to improve, whether it's a technical thing or a mental thing. I'm sure, being the absolute professional that he is, that he'll work it out and work it out pretty quickly," said Ponting in IANS Review.

Rishabh Pant an 'exceptionally dangerous' batter; should be an integral part of India's T20 World Cup campaign: Ricky Ponting

Australia captain Ricky Ponting has said that Rishabh Pant should be an integral part of India's ICC T20 World Cup campaign in Australia later this year, adding that the wicketkeeper-batter will be "exceptionally dangerous for India" given the flat and bouncy pitches Down Under. While Pant may have scored the second-lowest score (340 runs) in the seven seasons he has played in the IPL, and a captaincy blunder in the crucial match may have cost his side a playoffs berth, but Delhi Capitals head coach Ponting believes that Pant is "an outstanding young man who has the world at his feet". "He's (Pant) a wonderful player. He is just an outstanding young man who has got the world at his feet and he'll be exceptionally dangerous for India, especially on the wickets we'll provide in Australia... good flat, fast, bouncy wickets. He'll be one of the players to watch out for in the tournament," opined Pointing on ICC Review. Having seen Pant's progression while at Delhi Capitals, the Australian legend felt that Pant should be utilised as a "floater" during the T20 World Cup in October-November this year.
