Ricky Ponting is not happy with Akash Deep’s sand off
India has made a very good comeback on the second day of the fifth Test game against England. Indian bowlers bothered the England batsmen while bowling deadly in the first innings. In this match, India’s young player Akash Deep dismissed Ben Docket and made his team a return to the match. However, as soon as Akash Deep dismissed Docket, he gave such a sand -off that many people did not like it. Its video is also becoming fiercely viral on social media. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has given a big statement regarding the same action of the Indian fast bowler.
Yes, I punch- ponting
This action of Akash Deep was seen in the 13th over of England. Actually, Docks wanted to play a big shot on a ball of the Indian fast bowler, but in this affair he had to lose his wicket. After this, Akash Deep came to the English batsman and put his hand on the shoulder of Docket and started laughing.
At the Sky Sports Lunch Brake Show, presenter Ian Ward asked Ricky Ponting that there are some batsmen who would give a befitting reply and I am looking at you. If this were the case with you, Ricky Ponting would have punched. To this, Ponting replied, ‘Maybe it could have been, perhaps.’
Apart from this, the former player said about Ben Docket, when this happened, I felt that maybe both are friends or playing together for a team. This is because it is not seen every day. Ben batted amazing. I nice to see that he did not give any reaction on it.
