Ricky Ponting

Preity Zinta celebrates Punjab Kings’ win over Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026, praising Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer and team effort.

As the IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) approaches on Sunday at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.

Shashank Singh praised Ricky Ponting and Shreyas Iyer for their leadership after the team secured a top-two finish in IPL 2025.

Ricky Ponting has backed Jake Fraser-McGurk to replace injured Matt Short as Australia’s opener in the CT 2025 semi-final against India.

The swashbuckling left-hander made 446 runs at an average of 40.54 and a strike-rate of 155.40 while claiming a joint-high 16 dismissals with the gloves during the most recent India Premier League season.

Ponting suggests that Rohit's calm and composed character suits the role well, allowing Kohli to concentrate on his batting.

India has made an impressive start to their World Cup campaign, securing convincing victories against Australia, Afghanistan, and their arch-rival, Pakistan.

In the absense of late Shane Warne skipper Ricky Ponting reposed faith on late Andrew Symonds who duly respected Ponting's faith. 

Kohli is capable of playing in all forms and winning matches without significantly compromising his batting principles.

The legendary cricketer added that if Australia is really keen on winning the series, they should pick their best lineup, hinting that a call on Warner should be taken soon.
