Ponting Picks Indian to be the Top Wicket Taker: Australian legend and Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting picks an Indian player to top the wicket clinchers chart in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
Pondting was talking in an ICC review ahead of the ultimate T20 tournament, which will commence on June 2 with hosts the United States taking on Canada.
Ponting Picks Indian to be the Top Wicket Taker
Ponting picked India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah to be the leading wicket-taker in the T20 World Cup 2024.
“My leading wicket-taker for the tournament will be Jasprit Bumrah. I just think an outstanding performer, contributor for a number of years now. He’s just come off an outstanding IPL. What he can do with the new ball, he swings the new ball, he has the seam up.

Ponting hailed the miser in Bumrah in terms of giving away runs in the last IPL despite bowling in the toughest overs. Bowling in death overs increases the probability of bagging more wickets, according to the Aussie legend.
“But at the end, his economy rate at the end of the IPL was less than seven runs an over. He takes wickets. He does bowl a lot of the hard overs too. When you bowl the hard overs in T20 cricket, it gives you a chance to pick up a lot of wickets along the way. So, I’m going with him.”
Bumrah will tie his boots for the country on June 5, when India will meet Ireland in their first match of the T20 World Cup.
