The Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia is going to start from 22nd November and even before this series, Ricky Ponting has declared Australia the winner of the series. Ricky Ponting also predicted that Team India will definitely defeat Australia in a test match. Ricky Ponting also chose the Indian player who scored the most runs in this series, in which Virat Kohli's name was not included. He bet on Rishabh Pant instead of Virat.

what did ricky ponting say

Ricky Ponting said in a conversation with ICC that Team India has suffered a big blow due to Mohammed Shami's injury. According to him, in the absence of Shami, it will be very difficult for Team India to take 20 wickets from Australia. Ponting further said, 'If we talk about the series, Australia will win this series 3-1. Meaning Team India can defeat Australia in a test. Also, Ricky Ponting and Steve Smith will score the most runs in the series.

Ricky Ponting said that when Rishabh Pant comes to bat, the ball will lose its shine and will not be as hard. Besides, Pant's form is also amazing. In such a situation, it seems that Pant can score the most runs for Team India. Ricky Ponting said that Hazlewood can take the most wickets in the series. He will prove to be a better bowler than Cummins and Stars. Well, only time will tell how correct Ponting's prediction will be.

Rishabh Pant's record in Australia

Rishabh Pant's record in Australia is also amazing. On Australian soil, this player has scored 624 runs in 7 tests at an average of 62.40. Pant has also scored a century in Australia. He has also scored two half-centuries. On the last Australia tour, Pant made Team India win the Test match and also the series at Gabba. It is clear that this is why Australia is feeling most nervous about Pant.
