He’s A Prickly Character: Ponting Reacts After Kohli Comment Sparks Furious Response From Gambhir
New Delhi: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has reacted to India head coach Gautam Gambhir’s response to his comments regarding Virat Kohli’s form ahead of Border-Gavaskar series, and said he is not surprised by Gambhir's reaction, calling him a "prickly character".
During the episode of the ICC Review last week, Ponting had raised concerns over Kohli's form, saying, "I saw a stat the other day about Virat, it said he's only scored two (three) Test hundreds in the last five years. That didn't seem right to me, but if that is right, then that is, I mean, that's a concern".
When asked about Ponting’s remark during the pre-departure presser, Gambhir retorted by saying, "What does Ricky Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? He should be talking about Australia."
