Indian Premier League Cricket

Ricky Ponting, captain of the Australian side was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders for amount that is far less than was anticipated. His run of poor form in the last series against India could have dampened the bidding for him. His team mate Symmonds went for nearly 3 times what Ricky will earn.

Ricky Ponting is one of most prolific and consistent batsman for his side. He has time and again played winning knocks for his which have brought them great victories. He is regarded as one of the best batsman in modern cricket.

Ricky Ponting and Australian side believe they were the wronged party during the India-Australia stand-off. It is to be seen how the Indian crowds take to this tough Aussie.
