India Were Well-balanced Team In Champions Trophy Due To All-rounders: Ponting
Due to Jadeja, Hardik and Axar being in the same playing eleven, India had an incredible batting depth, while having multiple bowling options in hand. “Their all-rounders right through the tournament were outstanding. (Ravindra) Jadeja, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, were all outstanding.
“I said at the start of the tournament I thought India would be really hard to beat because of their overall balance and because of that mix of youth and experience, and once again, in a final, the captain stands up and gets the job done for his team,” said Ponting on The ICC Review show.
