As an Indian Im very concerned with Virat Kohli form. That guy averaged in 20s over last 5 years in test cricket. Pujara, Rahane got dropped from the side with the same reason then why not they drop virat from Test side??? Pujara and Virat both contributed equally to test format in and away India so why is this biased opinions? Virat should retire if he fails in BGT. Ponting got every right of questioning virat because that is an ICC interview and the interviewer sanjana ganesan asked about form of virat. I support ponting on this issue and gambhir is on track to destroy Indian cricket with his senseless agression and tactics. Ravi Shastri and dravid gave an excellent team to gambhir now this coach is ruining team India
Are you insane?? over last 5 years Virat is having average of 32.. its not at all his standards. But in 2023 he averaged 55.. highest amongst all Indians. He doesn't play alone in the team.. there are 10 other players too.. Can you focus on them? What about Vadapaav sharma?? His poor captaincy and 133 runs in last 10 innings.. BCCI should remove him
because firstly he is not averaging 20s lol. It's 32 which is still really poor but not a made up crap like 20s in last 5 years. Secondly, he performed as best in 2023(home BGT, WI tour and then the best batsman in SA tour where nobody from India was able to even touch the ball). He ended his 2023 with 55.9 average in 6 matches with 671 runs. Thirdly, Pujara and Rahane never really crossed 50 average mark. They were just a really special player with 40-48 as their ceiling while Kohli always had 50-55 as his ceiling which made him the 2nd best batter after Smith in 2012-19. Along with the fact that he was India's best batsman in Aus and SA soil. All these things when taken in context gives extra lives to Kohli's test career, we know he can't be the 12-19 Kohli but if he can give something even 50%-70% of that, India will have a batter with 350-500 runs in a 5 matches series easily which we won't be getting by anyone apart from Pant or Jaiswal as Rohit never played good in away matches, Gill is not really at his peak, Sarfu is shit whenever ball moves and nobody else is there from India-A to take Kohli's spot too(which was proven with their shit performance against Aus's fresh youngsters).
The reason Gambhir,Comes from BJP, under Jay Shah son of Amit Shah unlike Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid they come fairly from cricket sport, though he is great as cricketer by his time.
Wine(Shiraz) is pretty good and well priced! Team India will put up a good performance with competitive play…having said that a series win would be a huge mountain though!
To be frank, Pointing is more biased towards Indians and likes Indian team. He praised them a lot last time in 20-21 series and has the verdict . Gambhir is in hot seat at the moment and needs to prove the critics otherwise he will be removed
Gambhir me itne insiniyat nahi he ponting ne khud se ksi ko advice nahi de usse interview kiya o b aik indian Bumrah ke bv ne us se qusetion pocha gya aur usne us ke jawab me e bola ab kya o interview se he bhag jata agr kl ko gambhir se koi question pochta he aus cricket related to kya o e bolega k mera Aus cricket se koi kam nahi he,,mtlb ridiculous, ponting is one of the greats of the game o wese b ksi ko advice de skta he lkn yaha to os se proper question pocha gya un dono rohit+kohli ke performance pe or o b aik indian presenter bumrah ke bv ne jiska usne aik bda normal logical answer diya ab s me gambhir ko itna uchlne ke kya zrort he, Gambhir seems to be a narcissist
This GG guy is Senseless clueless always angry serious and rude will destroy Indian cricket for sure players will never get comfortable with him due to his nature or attitude he will be like a Justin Langer or If we look few years back Greg Chappell kind of guy! Australia did win the T20 World Cup and Ashes under Langer not sure if GG can win anything big for India time will tell right now it’s looking bad for him 3-0 against NZ at home says a lot probably it’s not all his fault but coaches are playing huge roles in modern day cricket you win you will get all the credit you lose you will get all the criticism so better to do ur job with smile and humbleness! And on Pointing issue he’s being soo rude Pointing is a legend both as a player and as a captain no one come close to what Pointing has achieved in his career his cricketing knowledge after the great Shane Warne is amazing it will be good if GG can show some respect!
You journalists put words in others mouths in such a way that they have to answer it as you want. Note here neither Ponting or Gambhir told what they did to a pointed questions like what do you think about Kohlis form or what do you have to say about Pontings remark about Kohli. On their own they would not have touched these topics. Then you create controversy and sensationalise them. I remember Harsha asking jokingly what he thinks of BCCI or something like that and Saurav said something off guard. That was his funeral. A controversy on his reply was snow balled and he was pulled down from captaincy of India. Beware of friendly journos.
His answers show how confidently no sugarcoat this guy is and he should be too. Legend
Mr Ponting is a Legend . He is absolutely right about Kohli and Rohit and he has the right to comment about players .
Ponting is totally right here.
I Agree with what Manjrekar said about Gautam Gambhir 👍
U didn’t let Ponting complete but he absolutely nailed that point on why India are better away from home
100% agree on this, he was sharing such a great insight. Such a good story-teller Ricky Ponting is.
great interview, always very interesting to listen to Ponting

Because Kohli is the most popular player in the Indian team and in world cricket. BCCI idiot selectors are scared to drop him.
The reason Gambhir,Comes from BJP, under Jay Shah son of Amit Shah unlike Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid they come fairly from cricket sport, though he is great as cricketer by his time.
Ponting is always loved in India
Pointing is correct in his statement.
There is no beef. GG just doesn't know how to talk sometimes to the media
Wine(Shiraz) is pretty good and well priced!
Team India will put up a good performance with competitive play…having said that a series win would be a huge mountain though!
Ponting is right about Kohli and Ponting is right about Gambhir! Thanks for calling it out correctly.
Great tshirt, Fletch. Even better interview.
the wines are actually bloody unreal.
11:33 that's why your team never changed much over the years. The champion mentality
Great discussion
To be frank, Pointing is more biased towards Indians and likes Indian team. He praised them a lot last time in 20-21 series and has the verdict . Gambhir is in hot seat at the moment and needs to prove the critics otherwise he will be removed
Ponting we are ashamed of GG! You are a legend of a game.
How can I buy this in Europe?
Gambhir me itne insiniyat nahi he ponting ne khud se ksi ko advice nahi de usse interview kiya o b aik indian Bumrah ke bv ne us se qusetion pocha gya aur usne us ke jawab me e bola ab kya o interview se he bhag jata agr kl ko gambhir se koi question pochta he aus cricket related to kya o e bolega k mera Aus cricket se koi kam nahi he,,mtlb ridiculous, ponting is one of the greats of the game o wese b ksi ko advice de skta he lkn yaha to os se proper question pocha gya un dono rohit+kohli ke performance pe or o b aik indian presenter bumrah ke bv ne jiska usne aik bda normal logical answer diya ab s me gambhir ko itna uchlne ke kya zrort he,
Gambhir seems to be a narcissist
14:31 Gutnam Ghambir? Is that Gautam Gambhir's evil twin? 😂
Naah….just a mispronunciation of Gothumb Gambier.
