India versus Australia | Rather Not See Kohli Being Booed: Ponting 

Indian commander Virat Kohli was invited with boos by the group at the Adelaide Oval when he exited to bat in the second innings on the third day of the main Test against Australia. Ricky Ponting, understood for his animosity amid his playing days, said he didn't appreciate seeing that. 


"I don't care for seeing it by any means," Ponting, who has involvement of being booed amid the 2009 Fiery remains visit stated, told cricket.com.au. "It didn't stress me as a player when it occurred in Britain two or multiple times. You've nearly got the chance to acknowledge it as affirmation for what you've done in the diversion. Yet, I'd preferably not witness that by any stretch of the imagination. 

The Indian commander exited to a warm gathering in the principal innings, yet on the third day a little gathering from the 30,000-in number group were heard booing him. Kohli scored 34 keeps running amid his 104-ball thump before Nathan Lyon had him gotten at short leg. 

"It'll be water off a duck's back (for Kohli), I'm certain," said Ponting. "He's most likely had more awful things transpire on a cricket field, I would have thought, than getting booed by a few onlookers as he strolls on." 

"In the event that anything, it may have steeled him somewhat more. He was not really playing a shot right off the bat in his innings and he appeared as though he needed to truly ground the Aussies into the deck." 

Discussing the Australian group, Ponting said he was inspired with Travis Head, however focused on he is an "a work-in-advance" as batsman in Test cricket. The previous commander has recently worked intimately with Head when he had joined as the aide mentor for Australia prior in the year. 

Head, who is playing his third Test, top scored with a dirty 72 in the primary innings which helped Australia come to inside 15 keeps running of India's first innings add up to. 

"I'm truly inspired with him as a player and a man," Ponting said. "He's exceptionally a reasonable young fellow, he's extremely quiet and really positive about his very own diversion. He's clearly still a work in advancement. There's not very numerous Australian batsmen right now who are without a doubt the completed item.

"In the event that you take a gander at the profundity of batting in Australia, you'd think Travis Head's name will be comfortable best of the rundown (for the Powder), uniquely with what we've found in the last couple of amusements. Also, he'll continue showing signs of improvement, continue enhancing and finding out about himself and what he needs to do to have accomplishment at the best dimension. However, from what I've seen up until this point, I've been really awed with him.
