Before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, former Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction. In fact, Ponting believes that Australia's dashing opener Travis Head and Indian team's deadly pacer Jasprit Bumrah are going to wreak havoc in the ICC event to be held in the US and West Indies.

In fact, Ricky Ponting has predicted that Travis Head will be the batsman who will score the most runs in the T20 World Cup, while Jasprit Bumrah will be the bowler who will take the most wickets in the tournament.

He said, 'I believe that Jasprit Bumrah will take the most wickets in the T20 World Cup. He has performed very well in the past years. He has just returned from a brilliant IPL. Bumrah can swing the new ball, he has seam. At the end of the IPL, his economy was less than seven runs per over.'

Praising Jasprit Bumrah, Ricky Ponting further said, 'He takes wickets. He also bowls very tough overs. When you bowl tough overs in T20 cricket, it gives you a chance to take a lot of wickets. So I am going with Jasprit Bumrah.'

After this, Ricky Ponting praised Travis Head and predicted that Head will score the most runs in the T20 World Cup. He said, 'My prediction is that Travis Head will be the highest run scorer.' Ponting said, 'I think whatever Head has done in the last few years, whether it is red ball (Test cricket) or white ball (ODI and T20 cricket), has been of the highest quality. I think he is playing fearless cricket at the moment.'
