Ricky Ponting has gone down as one of greatest captains the world has ever been a witness to. The century he amassed in the 2003 World Cup final at the Wanderers haunts a number of Indian fans ever after 17 years. Teams knew that if Ponting got going, he could destroy any bowling lineup.
In his 560-match career in international cricket, the Tasmania-born scored over 27,000 runs with 71 tons. The former middle-order batsman scored 54.15 per cent of his career runs through running between the wickets.
Hence, there’s no doubt that he took utmost care of his physical well-being. As far as his overall career was concerned, he won the 1999 World Cup as a player with Australia. Then in 2003 and 2007, Ponting captained them to glory after which in 2011, he led his team to the quarter-finals.
