Masterstroke from Rahane to push Pant up the batting order: Ponting
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting hailed captain Ajinkya Rahane for his "masterstroke" to promote Rishabh Pant in the batting order during India's fourth innings on the final day of the SCG Test. "Very good proactive captaincy or coaching for sending Rishabh up. For India to stay in with a chance to win, they needed to do that," said Ponting.
