Ricky Ponting is one of the legends of the game and he keeps giving a glimpse of it with his in-dept knowledge and analysis of the game. The former Australia captain displayed something similar when he accurately predicted a wicket on-air and left the netizens stunned.
On Monday, Ponting predicted all-rounder Nikhil Chaudhary’s dismissal off Nathan Coulter-Nile during the Big Bash League (BBL) match between Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars.
It happened in the 18th over, just before Coulter-Nile started running to deliver the third ball of his over, Ponting, who was on air, suggested that the bowler can get the wicket if he drags his length back and bowls a slower delivery.
