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\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked about Ponting\u2019s 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.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Clarifying on his comments that irked India head coach, while speaking to 7News, Ponting stated, \"I said I would be concerned (about his form). But I think if you ask Virat, I\u2019m sure Virat would be a little bit concerned that he hasn\u2019t been able to make the same amount of hundreds as he has in previous years.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"In no way was it a dig at him. I actually followed it up by saying he\u2019s played well in Australia and he\u2019ll be keen to bounce back over here. So, it\u2019s amazing how little things can get cut up, but he\u2019s a class player and he\u2019s played well in Australia in the past,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Aussie great went on to say that he was a little taken aback by the response to his remarks but that it was likely to be expected of Gambhir.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
