Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting could also play a spectacular role for Team India. He accumulated 13,704 runs in 375 ODIs for the Kangaroos.

The right-handed batsman Ponting had a remarkable run in the Test fold while representing Australia in 168 Tests. He had amassed 13,378 runs at an impressive average of 51.85.

Ponting also had the experience of serving in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He had worked for Mumbai Indians (MI) before joining the Delhi Capitals (DC) since 2018.

The veteran Aussie cricketer had learnt a lot as a coach to witness Virat Kohli and his men playing at close quarters.

Ponting had recently been with Australia as an assistant of Justin Langer at the 2019 World Cup in the United Kingdom (UK). The Aaron Finch-led side had made it to the semis, but they lost to hosts and reigning champions.

He’s one of the legendary cricketers whom India could look at.
