Ricky Ponting on Sachin: Technically no one is better than him. The great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of cricket, is celebrating his 50th birthday on 24 April 2023.
Earlier, Ricky Ponting, former captain of the Australia team, praised him fiercely.
Ponting has technically termed Sachin as the best batsman. Ponting said that Sachin had an answer to every challenge he faced from the bowlers.

Ponting spoke in ‘ICC Review’ on Sachin Tendulkar’s 50th birthday. He said that ‘I have said earlier also that in terms of technique, Sachin is the best batsman I have seen or played with or against.
Whatever strategy we used as a bowling unit, he had an answer. Be it in India or Australia.
Difficult to rank players
Ponting also said that it is difficult to rank or assess players because everyone plays differently, but Sachin was technically the best in the era I played in.
On the comparison between Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, Ponting said, “Virat started playing in the later stages of Sachin’s career, but the game is different now.”
There are different rules, for example in 50-over cricket, there are fewer fielders outside the circle, two new balls are taken and now batting has become easier than before.
In Tendulkar’s era, it was very difficult to play the old ball because it got a reverse swing.
It would be right to compare the two after Virat’s career is over
Ponting further said that ‘when Sachin used to play ODIs, the shape of the ball changed after 50 overs, he used to get reverse swing which is not seen today.
Virat is a very talented player, he has more than 70 international centuries to his name. Sachin has scored 100 centuries. It would be right to compare the two after Virat’s career is over.
I judge the ability of a player on the basis of how many years he could play. This is the right approach because it is not easy to play well consistently over such a long period of time.
