Ponting ne kiya Rohit aur Virat ki tareef, all-rounders ko bhi diya credit
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 mein India ki jeet ke baad, Ricky Ponting ne Rohit Sharma aur Virat Kohli ke experience ki taarif ki hai. Unhone kaha ki in dono ki experience team ki kamayabi ka bada karan thi. Lekin Ponting ne yeh bhi kaha ki all-rounders ka bhi bada yogdaan raha.
All-rounders ne machaya kamaal
Ponting ne ICC Review mein kaha, “All-rounders pura tournament mein outstanding rahe. Jadeja, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, sabhi ne kamaal kiya. Maine pehle hi kaha tha ki India ko harana mushkil hoga kyunki unki team ka balance bahut achha hai. Unke paas youth aur experience ka perfect mix hai. Aur final mein toh captain ne kamaal kar diya.”
India ki batting depth ka raaz
India ne paanch matches mein teen all-rounders ke saath khela. Isse unki batting depth kaafi strong ho gayi. Ponting ne kaha, “Team pehle se hi balanced thi, lekin itne saare all-rounders hone se aur bhi majboot ho gayi. Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, aur Jadeja ne team ko kaafi balance diya.”
Fast bowling mein thodi kami, phir bhi koi dikkat nahi
Ponting ne kaha, “India ki fast bowling thodi light lag rahi thi, lekin unhe iski zarurat hi nahi padi.” Unhone Hardik Pandya ke role ki bhi taarif ki, jinhone new ball se achhi bowling ki aur spinners ke liye pressure kam kiya.
Axar Patel ki tareef
Axar Patel ki taarif karte hue Ponting ne kaha, “Axar Patel ko is tournament ke liye kaafi credit jana chahiye. Unki bowling kaafi consistent rahi. Saath hi unhone batting mein bhi achha contribute kiya.” Axar aksar 5th number pe batting karne aate the aur team ko sambhalte the.
Aakhir mein…
Ponting ne kaha ki Axar ke contributions ki wajah se hi KL Rahul, Pandya, aur Jadeja ko batting mein aasani hui. Kul milakar, Ponting ke hisaab se, India ki jeet mein all-rounders aur senior players ka bada haath raha.
