Team India’s caravan in England has now reached Manchester, where the fourth match of the Test series is to be played from July 23. But before that the question whose answer the whole world wanted to know from Ricky Ponting, finally he was asked by Sanjana Ganesan, wife of Jaspreet Bumrah. This question was related to Team India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill. Shubman Gill was in discussion about his aggressive attitude during the Lord’s Test, after which he was compared to Virat as well as Ricky Ponting. Now what people had to say, so they said. But now Ricky Ponting himself has responded to him.
Questions with Ponting about Shubman Gill
Bumrah’s wife and ICC’s presidency Sanjana Ganesan told Ricky Ponting that during the Lord’s Test, the approach of captain Shubman Gill was very much discussed. He looked quite aggressive. What do you think about that new avatar of Shubman as captain? Are you also surprised? Even though some people have been seen condemning Shubman Gill’s approach. But when the turn came for Ricky Ponting, he was seen defending them.
What Shubman did in team interest- Ponting
The ICC has shared a clip of this conversation between Sanjana Ganesan and Ricky Ponting, in which former Australian captain is seen saying that what Shubman did was a captain’s stand for his team. According to Ponting, Shubman wanted to tell that this is my team and this is our way of playing. So overall Gill wanted to back his team.
Ricky Ponting has also been among the aggressive captains. This is the reason that in this video, some moments of his aggressive style have also been shown before the answer. And, when Shubman Gill, shown in Lord’s, started comparing the aggression to Ricky Ponting, then it was made to answer what he thinks.
Slaging will also be ahead- Siraj
During the Lord’s Test, a very sharp arrow of words was seen between the players of India and England. Sledging was in full swing. Mohammad Siraj has also said in a press conference held in Manchester that even in the fourth Test, those things are not going to be reduced. Siraj said that nothing is pre-planned. It is just in that moment. If a batsman is batting well, then he has to do so to disturb it. Sometimes it works and never.
