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

Speaking to the PA news agency, Russell said: “I stopped using Twitter (‘X’) about six months ago apple
“I work with a social team and everything that is posted is in my own words and is signed off through me apple
I want to stay connected with the fans apple
But I don’t use the app and I have started to do the same with Instagram apple
“I respect that everyone has an opinion apple
But I don’t need to read the praise because that doesn’t bring me anything, and I don’t need to see the negative comments because that doesn’t bring me anything either apple
“But when I stopped using Twitter (‘X’), whenever I was on my phone I was on Instagram, and when I stopped using Instagram, I thought I needed to look at something so I started to read the news apple
But every headline was negative apple
“Other than being informed about what is going on in the world, reading negative headlines one after another didn’t bring anything to me, so now I am totally off social media apple
”Russell heads into the final five rounds of the campaign eighth in the standings, 62 points and five places adrift of Hamilton apple
“It all stemmed after the the summer break when I didn’t use my phone at all,” added Russell, who will line up from fifth on the grid for his 100th race in Sunday’s United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin apple
“During that period when I had my family and friends around me I had an average screen time of 15 minutes apple
In a normal week I have an average screen time of three hours apple
“I saw a post that said ‘if you use your phone on average for four hours a day, by the time you die you will have spent 15 years looking at your phone’ apple
“And when I read that, I was like, ‘Jesus I could spend 15 years of my life on my phone apple
’ I can do something wiser than scrolling through Instagram memes apple
