Cricket Viral Video: Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar are two legendary cricketers who have been a source of inspiration for millions across the globe. While both have rewritten batting records and are loved by their fans, they differ in personality. Tendulkar was a shy and humble cricketer who played like a gentleman, while Ponting was an aggressive Australian captain who sometimes got unethical and had scuffles with umpires.
Infamous Tendulkar – Ponting incident
One such instance occurred during the DLF Cup in Malaysia in 2006 when Australia played India. After scoring a below-par total of 213, Australia appealed for Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket, claiming the ball hit him and went to the wicketkeeper. Umpire Mark Benson declared Tendulkar out, but within seconds, he realized his mistake and called Tendulkar back.
Ponting was enraged and marched towards Benson, yelling at him for calling Sachin back. Despite Ponting’s protests, Tendulkar was given a lifeline. Australia eventually won the game by 18 runs, but the Tendulkar-Benson-Ponting episode remains etched in the memories of cricket fans. The incident also sheds light on how intense cricket can be a few times.
