PONTING SAYS INDIAN BOWLERS WILL STRUGGLE AT AUSTRALIA

The Australian Former Skipper and Legend Ricky Ponting said that the Indian bowlers will struggle to take out the Australian batsmen twice in the upcoming four match series against the Aussies at their Home .
The Former Australian Skipper speaking at a cricketing event organised by Aaj Tak alongside the Australian greats Allan Border and Steve Waugh , referred that India must work hard to succeed against Aussies . 
 "India will struggle to get our batsmen out twice in Australia. There is no doubt that why Indians can't compete. Their batting line up is one of the best," said Ponting."He has led his team very convincingly in other forms of the game. He performs in big matches. But he needs to work on his technique and attitude in Tests ahead of the series Down Under," added Ponting.
Former India opener Sunil Gavaskar, who was also one of the panelists, touched upon India's bowling and said, "We need bowlers who can take 20 wickets in a match. India seldom had that kind of an attack and to win a Test series you need to take 20 wickets in at least 2 or 3 matches. India need to find that right combination to succeed in Australia," added Gavaskar.

Kapil Dev Player Profile

Kapil Dev : Greatest Captains Of India 

Kapil Dev was the greatest pace bowler India has produced, and their greatest fast-bowling allrounder. If he had played at any other time - not when Imran Khan, Ian Botham and Richard Hadlee were contemporaries - he would surely have been recognised as the best allrounder in the world. In any case he did enough to be voted India's Cricketer of the Century during 2002, ahead of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. His greatest feats were to lead India almost jauntily, and by his all-round example, to the 1983 World Cup, and to take the world-record aggregate of Test wickets from Hadlee. It was the stamina of the marathon runner that took him finally to 431 wickets and only a yard beyond. He might not have been quite the bowling equal of Imran, Hadlee or Botham at his best, and his strike rate was less than four wickets per Test, but he was still outstanding in his accuracy and ability to swing the ball, usually away from right-handers. And he could hit a ball even more brilliantly than he bowled it, with uncomplicated flair.

Kapil had a rather ordinary stint as India's coach for 10 months between October 1999 and August 2000. Att the height of the match-fixing allegation by Manoj Prabhakar - a charge that was subsequently dismissed - Kapil resigned as coach. Hurt by the betting controversy, he announced that he was leaving the game. However, he returned from a significantly quiet period when Wisden named him their Indian Cricketer of the Century. He won, and then returned to cricket as a bowling consultant and served as chairman of National Cricket Academy for two years. In May 2007, Kapil joined the breakaway Indian Cricket League, which led to his removal from the NCA. 

Player Profile Mohammad Azharuddin

Mohammad Azharuddin : Great Captains Of India
Those who saw this supreme batting artist at his peak will never forget him - sinewy wrists transforming a slender piece of willow into a magician's wand. Azhar's leg-side play was reminiscent of Zaheer Abbas and Greg Chappell - a Michelangelo in the midst of housepainters. In later years, he expanded his off-side repertoire, and conjured some of the finest innings played in the modern era - his 121 at Lord's in 1990 was one for the gods. His technique was suspect against the short stuff, a deficiency he sought to overcome through instinctive strokeplay, sometimes with cavalier disregard for the team situation. As captain, Azhar enjoyed tremendous success on made-to-order home pitches, while right to the end of his career he was peerless in the field, whether prowling the covers or pouching catches at slip. He announced his arrival, against England in 1984-85, with three hundreds in his first three Tests, a feat that has never been match, while his last Test innings also bore him a hundred. But then allegations of match-fixing provided an emphatic full stop. That he finished his career with 99 Tests is perhaps appropriate for one who came within a whisker of batting immortality - only to throw it all away at close of play. He appealed against the life ban in the courts but the verdict is still awaited.
