Ricky Ponting’s Career and the details of his achievement

·          A young and raw Ricky Ponting burst into the international arena in the year 1995 as he debuted in both formats. He had amassed a big stature in the domestic circuit for having the capability to score the big runs and most people were in wonder of his skill set.

·         However, disciplinary issues were equally usual with Ricky back then and it did bother him in the initial years of his international career as well. But, he managed to step up in his career, and from the 1998-99 season, he started to mature steadily into a top-flight batsman.

·           He started out as a middle-order batsman and later he started to take ownership of the pivotal number three slot which he did make iconic in the years ahead.

·          The initial ball of Ponting’s batting was the highlight of absolute intent he had. It wouldn’t necessarily be an miraculous shot but it would be a positive beginning stepping forward and he didn’t mind playing the pull/hook shot even off the front foot with incredible ease.

·           In fact, that stroke went on becoming Ponting’s identity shot in his career. He rarely let the bowlers dictate his techniques and most of the time he bullied them into submission.

·          When Steve Waugh declined, captaincy came to Ponting in 2002 when he was at the peak of his powers as a batsman. And in the next five years, he became a successful batsman and in his captainship, he won consecutive World Cups and Champions Trophy titles and he became a next-level batsman. He became one of the most successful captains in international cricket history.
