New Delhi [India]: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has praised Indian talisman Virat Kohli and said no one can match the 35-year-old’s elegance and experience.
Virat is the tournament’s all-time leading scorer, scoring 1,141 points with a GAA of 81. 50 and a hit percentage of 131. 30, with 14 fifty in 25 innings. Its score is 89*.
Ponting said Kohli is his first selection for India at the upcoming T20 2024 World Cup. The former Australian captain said Kohli can play the most sensible way and once he has the right man with him, the 35-year-old will start scoring.
I think other people in India are looking for an explanation of why he didn’t choose him or an explanation of why he might not be as smart as some of those other guys in the T20 game. . . He is the first pick for me for India. He can play his part at the top and if you have the right guys around him scoring Suryakumar. . . Rohit Sharma is passing to have a superior hit rate. These other guys can pass out and play their way. Ponting was quoted via ICC.
Ponting added: “During this verbal exchange and other discussions I had for the ICC, we communicated about the fact that Virat wouldn’t be on their team just last year, but what happened when the big games came, he was one of the guys who did the job. So such elegance and delight cannot be updated.
India’s crusade for the T20 World Cup kicks off on June 5 against Ireland before the new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York becomes the center of the epic clash between India and Pakistan on June 9. They will then face the United States and Canada, co-hosts of the tournament, to conclude their Group A matches.
Indian team: Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj
