Tendulkar, Dravid inspirations for every cricketer: Ponting
Australian batsman Ricky Ponting believes that claims of batsmen fading in their mid-to-late 30s are overrated, and said that 38-year-old Indian batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid are inspirations for every cricketer.
Tendulkar scored 1562 runs at an average of 78 with seven centuries last year, while Dravid has scored back-to-back centuries in the ongoing Test series against England.
“There’s inspiration for everyone, not just someone who’s 36. It’s inspirational to know that if you keep doing the things that have served you well in the past then it doesn’t matter how old you are - you can keep being a very good international player,” The Daily Telegraph quoted Ponting, as saying.
