Ricky Ponting is one of the greatest captains in cricket history. He conquered almost every cricketing nation, but India was his kryptonite.
Ponting’s test average in India? Just 26. His team’s unstoppable World Cup streak? Broken in India. And the biggest stat of all? No Test wins in India under his captaincy.
In 2004, Australia came close. They were leading 2-0 after the first three tests in a four-match Test series. But Ponting did not play the first three tests, missing the chance to secure the win. He returned for the final test, where Australia only required 107 runs to chase in the 4th innings, but Australia fell short by 13 runs. So close, yet so far.
