"That's what superstars generate, create all over the world...": Ponting on media hype about Virat in Australia
Ricky Ponting pointed out that star India batter Virat Kohli is popular in Australia because of his passionate and aggressive approach to the game, especially to its longest format.
After a disastrous home season with the bat against Bangladesh and New Zealand and underwhelming Test numbers over the years, which includes just two centuries, Virat would be making his fifth and one of his toughest tours to Australia. All the speculation around Virat's form, future in Test cricket and lack of centuries have not affected his hype in Australia as newspapers feature posters and attractive images/slogans highlighting the larger-than-life status the batter enjoys in Australia.
Ponting spoke with host Sanjana Ganesan on the most recent episode of The ICC Review and the Australian legend spoke glowingly of the former India captain ahead of the upcoming battle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under.
«Kohli is a star,» Ponting said as quoted by ICC.
«He is a superstar, has been a superstar of the game for so long. He is passionate about the way that he plays. He is passionate about his team. He wants to win and he plays with his heart on his sleeve,» he added.
