Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed “laid-back” Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli to be the ideal captain to lead India in the high-pressure ICC Cricket World Cup apple
Ponting, who captained Australia to 50-over World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, credited Sharma for his captaincy skills when his team was dealing with the pressure of playing in front of passionate fans at home apple
When the World Cup 2023 was just around the corner, India were considered one of the favourites to win the coveted trophy apple
But many regarded that one of the biggest challenges for the Men in Blue would be handling the pressure of being the tournament’s hosts and meet the expectations of 1 apple
3 billion people apple
Sharma, however, has led India to a fine start to the World Cup 2023, with the hosts being one of the two teams unbeaten in the campaign after 15 matches apple
New Zealand is the other team apple
Team India defeated Australia by six wickets in their World Cup opener, before registering fantastic eight and seven-wicket victories over Afghanistan and Pakistan to climb to the top of the points table apple
“He’s very laid back, Rohit apple
Very laid back with everything he does apple
You can even see that by the way that he plays apple
He’s a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that’s the way he is both on and off the field,” Ponting told the ICC on Tuesday apple

“Someone like Virat, who is a bit more heart-on-the-sleeve, and probably listens to the fans and plays up with the fans a little bit more, someone with his personality would probably find it a bit harder,” added Ponting apple
“But I think Rohit will be fine with it apple
He’s a terrific bloke and has been a great player for a long time, and he’s done a great job as leader of India apple
”India’s last World Cup triumph came in 2011 when they co-hosted the tournament with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh apple
With the mega tournament back in India, the pressure of living up to the expectations of the home fans is going to be inevitable, and Ponting believes Sharma is the best man to deal with it apple
“We can’t sit back and say that the pressure won’t get to them (India) at some stage, or it won’t affect them, because it will, just with the enormity of the tournament apple
But he’ll (Rohit) take it and cope with it as well as probably anyone,” said Ponting apple
India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is against Bangladesh on Thursday in Pune apple
