Australia’s Ricky Ponting has moved to second place in England’s run machine which scored the most runs in Root Test cricket, leaving behind India’s Rahul Dravid and South Africa’s Jacques Kallis, which left Kallis behind during his unbeaten innings on Friday, the third day of the fourth Test against India. Route has been scored 13379 runs in the 157th Test and has left behind India’s Rahul Dravid (164 Tests, 13288) Kallis (166 Tests, 13289) and Ricky Ponting (168 Tests, 13378) of Australia. Sachin Tendulkar (200 Tests, 15921) is now ahead of the trit.
Ponting said, “It is a great day for batting and for which it has been a great career. How he has reached the centuries from a player who could not score more than fifty runs. Now it seems that every time he scored fifty runs, you mark him to score a century or a big century. ”
Ponting said, “Just look at some figures, 38 Test centuries, 13379 runs, how much a great career has been so far.” Ponting also said that there is more to be achieved from the route, and this charismatic player of England can also overtake Sachin Tendulkar as an all -time run player in this format.
He said, “There is still a lot to be done. What is that, 35 years old? It does not seem that his passion towards the game is decreasing far. “Ponting further said,” His passion to score runs in the last few years has probably increased even more. Will he be able to chase Sachin? Let’s see. Maybe he may do so. ”
