Ponting Lauds Australia For Leadership, Team’s Resilience, Adaptability In BGT Victory
ICC World Test Championship: Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 3-1 series win over India, ending a decade-long wait for victory in the iconic rivalry. The triumph drew high praise from former Australia cricketer and ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting, who lauded the team’s resilience, adaptability, and leadership.
The series began on a sour note for Australia, as they faced a crushing defeat in Perth. Jasprit Bumrah’s devastating spell and centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli propelled India to a dominant win. Australia appeared disjointed, sparking criticism from fans and pundits alike.
Ponting reflected on the poor start, saying, “When I look back to the start of this series and just look how far off the mark the Aussies were in that first game, I think there was a lot of criticism that was flying around about the team. It almost looked a little un-Australian,” Ponting told ICC Review.
