Ponting picked Travis Head, while Gilchrist punted on David Warner.

Mumbai: Virat Kohli is in ominous for as he finished IPL 2024 as the leading run-getter and this is ideal for the Indian team who would feature in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the US and the West Indies. Thanks to his form, one would believe that he would emerge as one of the leading run-getters at the marquee event. But former Australian legends Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist think otherwise. Ponting picked Travis Head, while Gilchrist punted on David Warner.

“My prediction for the leading run-scorer will be Travis Head. I just think everything he’s done, whether it be red-ball or white-ball in the last couple of years, has been of the highest quality. I think he’s playing fearless cricket at the moment,” Ponting said on The ICC Review.

Gilchrist, shared his choice on Club Prairie Fire Podcast, and he surely surprised everyone with his pick. “I’m going go with David Warner. One big last hurrah,” the former Australian wicketkeeper-batter said.
