India Were Well-balanced Team In Champions Trophy Due To All-rounders: Ponting
The ICC Review: Former Australia cricketer Ricky Ponting reveals India were a very well-balanced team in their journey to winning the 2025 Champions Trophy due to having an outstanding set of all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel.
Due to Jadeja, Hardik and Axar being in the same playing eleven, India had an incredible batting depth, while having multiple bowling options in hand. “Their all-rounders right through the tournament were outstanding. (Ravindra) Jadeja, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, were all outstanding.
“I said at the start of the tournament I thought India would be really hard to beat because of their overall balance and because of that mix of youth and experience, and once again, in a final, the captain stands up and gets the job done for his team,” said Ponting on The ICC Review show.
