MUMBAI: Former Australian skipper and Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting on Monday teased all-rounder Axar Patel and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who starred for India in the recent Test series against England.
Axar and Ashwin together picked 59 wickets against England in the four-match Test series which India won 3-1. While Axar became the joint highest wicket-taker in a debut Test series for India, Ashwin finished with 32 scalps, the most by any bowlers in the series.
Ponting is hoping that the spin duo has some wickets left to take in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Ponting also wishes to see Pant replicating his heroics in the cash-rich league slated to begin from April 9.
