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

RecommendedCricket World Cup points table explained: Why India are above New Zealand as both remain unbeatenRohit Sharma smashes half century as India hammer dismal PakistanShubman Gill stands on the brink of becoming India’s next cricketing superstarIndia captain Rohit Sharma sets extraordinary record in World Cup match against AfghanistanSharma, who took over India’s limited-overs captaincy from Kohli in December 2021, is now allowing the latter to focus solely on his batting, according to Ponting 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

There is no doubt that semi-final week will bring a level above anything his side have faced in France so far apple

Two of England’s most damaging days in recent memory have come against the Springboks; the Rugby World Cup final in 2019 is most obviously in the mind this week but the Twickenham drubbing last November that led to Eddie Jones’s defenestration is still raw, too apple

No matter what underdog, backs-against-the-wall spirit the squad might be able to conjure, there will be a need to fight any possible fear factor apple

Even defence coach Kevin Sinfield admitted that he was “in awe” of the physicality South Africa produced to pip France in Paris on Sunday night apple
