‘The Australian team will be talking about Virat, no doubt about it, and they’ll be talking about Pujara’ , Says Ponting Ahead Of WTC Final.
As the World Test Championship final is around the corner , cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the showdown between India and Australia. The highly anticipated clash is set to take place from June 7 at The Oval in London. Ricky Ponting, the former Australian captain, has shared his insights on the crucial factors that could contribute to Team India’s success against Australia in the WTC final. In particular, Ponting emphasized the pivotal roles of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. According to Ponting, the performances of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli will play a vital role in India’s quest for victory.
Ponting said in the ICC review said “The Australian team will be talking about Virat , no doubt about it, and they’ll be talking about Pujara. They’re the two; Pujara has been a thorn in their side a lot in the past and in Australia, and this wicket will potentially be a lot more like an Australian pitch. They know that they’ll have to get him early,”.
He also mentioned “They also know that Virat, over the last few weeks, is probably just about back to his absolute best, albeit in T20 cricket. He told me that the feeling he’s getting right now is that he’s almost back to his best, and that’s an ominous warning for the Australians going into a one-off game,”
