Legendary Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting thinks Indian batters are weak towards high quality spinners which resulted of their latest 3-0 collection defeat to New Zealand. He added that the ability ranges of Indian batters taking part in towards spinners should not the place they was in earlier instances.

It appears as if the ability of the trendy Indian batsmen of taking part in spin might be not what it was,” stated Ponting on The ICC Evaluation present.

“Possibly as a result of they’re taking part in on completely different wickets in India which are most likely for the quick bowlers a bit extra, perhaps as a result of there are extra high-quality quick bowlers in India now that they don’t seem to be taking part in as a lot spin bowling as they did.”

When you concentrate on his (Williamson’s) report within the subcontinent, the kind of the rock and the chief that he is been for that group,” he stated.

India’s talismanic batter Virat Kohli has been in a type droop within the longer format and slipped out of the top-20 checklist within the Check batting rankings for the primary time in 10 years. Ponting, although, backs Kohli to return good within the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the place India must win not less than 4 video games to enter the 2025 World Check Championship ultimate.

“I noticed a stat the opposite day about Virat, it stated he is solely scored two (three) Check a whole bunch within the final 5 years. That did not appear proper to me, but when that’s proper, then that’s, I imply, that is a priority.”

“There would not be anybody else most likely even taking part in worldwide cricket as a top-order batsman that is solely scored two Check match a whole bunch in 5 years. I’ve stated it earlier than about Virat, you do not ever query the greats of the sport.”

“There isn’t any doubt, he is a terrific of the sport. He loves taking part in towards Australia. Actually, I do know he loves taking part in towards Australia.
