Ponting Feels Jaiswal's Cheeky Remark Steers Starc’s Fiery Spell In Adelaide
ICC World Test Championship: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes a cheeky remark from India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series may have given extra motivation to Mitchell Starc to deliver his career-best performance in the second Test in Adelaide.
Jaiswal contributed a knock of 161 in the second innings of the series opener in Perth. During his stellar knock, he remarked that Starc was "bowling too slow". The comment brought a wry smile to the face of Starc at the time, but it was the left-arm quick that had the last laugh when he dismissed the India opener for a duck with a peach on the very first delivery of the match in Adelaide.
Ponting, while discussing Starc’s form in the ICC Review episode, suggested the veteran quick may have received some extra motivation from Jaiswal’s cheeky comment.
