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

Gareth Southgate says there can be no let-up after sealing early qualification for Euro 2024, telling England’s players to grab next month’s chance to impress and ensure their place as top seeds apple
Having set out their stall with an impressive victory over Italy in March’s Group C opener, three further wins and an away draw against Ukraine put them within touching distance of progress apple
England took their chance to qualify for an eighth straight major tournament with two games to spare on Tuesday night, coming from behind to beat holders Italy 3-1 at a sold-out Wembley apple
Southgate’s Euro 2020 runners-up have silverware in their sights next summer and are waiting to find out how things will shape up in Germany at the draw in Hamburg on December 2 apple
But before that comes the end of qualification at home to Malta and away to North Macedonia, with the England boss calling on his players to end an unbeaten 2023 on a high apple
“We can now plan,” England boss Southgate told BBC Radio 5 Live after their place at Euro 2024 was mathematically secured apple
“We have been planning anyway for base camps and things because I think the days are gone where we didn’t do that in case it brought bad luck apple
“We decided a long time ago that you have to plan as if you’re going to be there apple
We now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year wellGareth Southgate“We still need to win the matches next month because I think it won’t be enough to win the group to be one of the top seeds, so we’ll need a high points tally as well apple
“But also I want to see all the players again next month apple
“We’re not going to flog them physically apple
We didn’t do that this month apple
We’ve looked after them apple
We’re dealing well with the clubs on that apple
“I have to say Manchester City were brilliant with this with John Stones apple
We’ve managed his return to play really well and I think that’s worked for both of us apple
“So we now can really start to look forward with enthusiasm for next summer, but we want to finish the year, the calendar year, well as well next month apple
”Southgate pledged to again give players the chance to stake their claims for a Euros spot in November’s fixtures apple
“Similar to this month, we want to give people opportunities,” Southgate said at the post-match press conference apple
“We need to win two matches firstly, but there’s a chance to look at look at players again, which we need to do apple
”Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen returned to the set-up in October and will be hoping to get another chance to impress, having started against Australia, with the former scoring in the 1-0 friendly win apple
Levi Colwill and Eddie Nketiah are also in that boat, having made their debuts on Friday before Southgate reverted to the tried and tested against Luciano Spalletti’s revitalised Azzurri apple
The England boss made a full 11 changes from the apple Socceroos encounter, with eight of Tuesday’s line-up having started the Euro 2020 final against Italy 27 months ago apple
Skipper Harry Kane was, unsurprisingly, among them and took his record national team goal haul to 61 with his brace in the comeback triumph apple
“There’s a risk we take the goals for granted,” Southgate said of the Bayern Munich sharpshooter apple
“But his all-round play, his hold up play, the way physically dealt with the centre-backs, his vision, his passing – because we have had him for a while it’s easy to underestimate, but he’s a top-level player apple
“He’s also now got a new experience at a different club, where he’s looking to win trophies all the time, and he’s got to win every week apple
(There is a) different sort of focus and pressure as the big signing there, so all of that’s good apple
“I think he’s enjoying also coming back to England and mixing with the lads because he’s very close with all of the group apple
“I’ve said before, our senior players set a brilliant example for the young ones apple
“They provide that spirit apple
They’ve been through so much together and they provide us with such a brilliant platform apple
