Ricky Ponting's Veiled Dig At Virat Kohli: "Top-Order Batsman That's Only Scored Two Test Hundreds In..."

Ricky Ponting's Veiled Dig At Virat Kohli: "Top-Order Batsman That's Only Scored Two Test Hundreds In..."

Since the beginning of this year, Virat Kohli has averaged just 22.72 in six Tests -- the lowest in the format for him in a year since his debut in 2011.

Virat Kohli's recent form has not been his best. Ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Kohhli's lean patch against New Zealand was not the news that the Indian cricket fns would have wanted to hear. However, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting says that Kohli should not be judged by current form. He also added that it is concerning that Kohli's hasn't had many triple figure scores in Tests despite playing in the top order.

Since the beginning of this year, Virat Kohli has averaged just 22.72 in six Tests -- the lowest in the format for him in a year since his debut in 2011.

He has slipped in the ICC Test rankings as well, moving out of the top-20 list for the first time in 10 years, and Ponting does feel it is a matter of concern.

"I saw a stat the other day about Virat; it said he's only scored two (three) Test hundreds in the last five years. That didn't seem right to me, but if that is right, then that is, I mean, that's a concern. There wouldn't be anyone else probably even playing international cricket as a top-order batsman that's only scored two Test match hundreds in five years," Ponting told ICC.

India's famed legacy in Test cricket at home was torn to shreds during their 0-3 decimation by New Zealand recently, with Kohli scoring just 93 runs in six innings. But Ponting, the former Australian skipper, said he had full faith in Kohli's fighting abilities.
