Ricky Ponting, a legendary former captain of Australia, has unambiguously supported Rohit Sharma as the finest choice to captain India in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. According to Ponting, who is renowned for his keen cricketing insight, the seasoned batsman has the ‘laid back attitude’ and temperament to elegantly handle the enormous pressure that comes with the next event.
India is in a dominant position at the top of the ODI World Cup 2023 points standings thanks to Sharma. His strategic genius has received praise from the cricket community. The former captain of Australia emphasizes that the Men in Blue have proven that they are a force to be reckoned with. Rohit’s natural “laid-back attitude,” which Ponting skillfully highlights, is the foundation of his capacity to elegantly withstand the constant pressures of the cricketing crucible.
He is really relaxed, Rohit. He is quite carefree in all he does. Even his playing style demonstrates this. He is a really reclusive sort of batter, and that describes him both on and off the field, according to Ponting, who was quoted by India Today.
Ponting criticizes Virat Kohli for his clutch play in comparison to Rohit Sharma
The India captain and opener’s thunderous 86 off 63 balls during the tense match against Pakistan in Ahmedabad demonstrated his exceptional form and tactical skill. The innings, which featured six fours and just as many sixes, was crucial to India’s resounding seven-wicket triumph. The 48-year-old makes a pointed parallel to Virat Kohli’s reign while praising Rohit for his ability to handle pressure during the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 and highlighting the team’s outstanding performance.
“Someone with his personality would maybe find it a little difficult. Virat is a bit more heart-on-the-sleeve, and he probably listens to the fans and plays up with them a little bit more. However, I believe Rohit will be okay with it. He’s a great guy who has long been a brilliant player, and he’s done a great job leading India,” Ponting said.
