We all know Ponting and his talks, in a recent interview with reporters he said: “India Hasn’t Been At Their Best” and when Ashwin came to address the media then he was asked about the comment made by Ponting where he answered it in a very positive way. He also stated that India did have some close encounters against Bangladesh and Pakistan, but T20 cricket is all about following cricket cliches.
Watching the game from outside is much easier than playing and giving your expert opinions because a game can be diverted by small margins.
Ponting in his sentence added, “Virat has been very good in a couple of games, he is also the leading run-scorer but I think if India wants to progress and go on to win, they need Virat to go on”.
In reply, Ashwin said, “It will be unfair to say that a team has not stepped on, or a team is not looking at its best because it’s on the day. As I said, it’s on the day. How are you going to counter a plan that’s delivered? How are you going to counter a bowler that bowled a first good first over,”.
Later on, Saturday India is going to play with Zimbabwe to seal their spot in the semis.
