Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting (Ricky Ponting) Recently, India’s best batsman Suryakumar Yadav (Suryakumar Yadav) was appreciated. The former Australian captain said that Suryakumar is like AB de Villiers, one of the greatest South African batsmen. Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt did not like Suryakumar Yadav whom Ponting praised and now he has targeted Ponting. Salman has tried to troll Ponting. Suryakumar is currently the second ranked batsman in the ICC T20 rankings. The Asia Cup is starting from August 27. There was a debate over where Suryakumar Yadav should bat in the tournament and it was then that Ponting compared the Indian batsman to South Africa’s AB de Villiers.
There is no one like de Villiers
Salman disliked Ponting’s comparisons with Suryakumar Yadav and de Villiers and criticized Ponting’s statement on his YouTube channel. Salman said that there is no one like de Villiers in world cricket. He said the former Australia captain should have waited before comparing Suryakumar Yadav to de Villiers.
Salman said, “Even Suryakumar would say that he got compared to de Villiers a bit too much. Suryakumar has recently started playing international cricket. He is talented and has played some good innings. But his comparison with AB de Villiers? Ponting had to wait a little longer. Suryakumar is yet to play a big tournament. The truth is that no one has ever played like de Villiers. You can compare her to Vivian Richards.”
Salman said, I don’t think any player has caught such a bat in modern times. Your impact should be such that your opposing team should know that if you don’t get them out you won’t win the match or you should have the ability to turn the match around. I think no one has played like him in recent history.
Ponting said this
Captain Ponting, who won the ODI World Cup twice for Australia, praised Suryakumar Yadav in the ICC review. Praising this right-handed batsman, he said, Surya plays 360 degrees in the field. This is similar to the way AB de Villiers used to play in his prime. He played lap shots, late cuts, over the keeper’s head, even grounded shots.
