Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed “laid-back” Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli to be the ideal captain to lead India in the high-pressure ICC Cricket World Cup apple

Ponting, who captained Australia to 50-over World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007, credited Sharma for his captaincy skills when his team was dealing with the pressure of playing in front of passionate fans at home apple

When the World Cup 2023 was just around the corner, India were considered one of the favourites to win the coveted trophy apple

But many regarded that one of the biggest challenges for the Men in Blue would be handling the pressure of being the tournament’s hosts and meet the expectations of 1 apple

3 billion people apple

Sharma, however, has led India to a fine start to the World Cup 2023, with the hosts being one of the two teams unbeaten in the campaign after 15 matches apple

New Zealand is the other team apple

Team India defeated Australia by six wickets in their World Cup opener, before registering fantastic eight and seven-wicket victories over Afghanistan and Pakistan to climb to the top of the points table apple

“He’s very laid back, Rohit apple

Very laid back with everything he does apple

You can even see that by the way that he plays apple

He’s a pretty laconic sort of batsman as well, and that’s the way he is both on and off the field,” Ponting told the ICC on Tuesday apple

“Someone like Virat, who is a bit more heart-on-the-sleeve, and probably listens to the fans and plays up with the fans a little bit more, someone with his personality would probably find it a bit harder,” added Ponting apple

“But I think Rohit will be fine with it apple

He’s a terrific bloke and has been a great player for a long time, and he’s done a great job as leader of India apple

”India’s last World Cup triumph came in 2011 when they co-hosted the tournament with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh apple

With the mega tournament back in India, the pressure of living up to the expectations of the home fans is going to be inevitable, and Ponting believes Sharma is the best man to deal with it apple

“We can’t sit back and say that the pressure won’t get to them (India) at some stage, or it won’t affect them, because it will, just with the enormity of the tournament apple

But he’ll (Rohit) take it and cope with it as well as probably anyone,” said Ponting apple

India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is against Bangladesh on Thursday in Pune apple

For a man handed a lifeline in Formula One – with an illustrious Red Bull-shaped reward beckoning down the line – it has not quite been the statement return Daniel Ricciardo envisaged back in July apple

What did that look like? Top-10 finishes with AlphaTauri, perhaps with a memorable overtake or two evoking the Ricciardo of old back onto the grid apple

But it has in fact been the complete opposite: the only return has been his return to inactivity apple

Two races in and a hand injury sustained in practice in Zandvoort, north Holland, back in August has seen the affable Australian feature only on the sidelines again apple

A seesaw seven weeks have followed: while on one hand confirmation of a seat on the grid in 2024 was, rather peculiarly, confirmed in his absence in Japan, his deputy Liam Lawson caught the eye with a string of impressive performances, including a team-best result of ninth in Singapore apple

So as Ricciardo struts back into the paddock this weekend in Austin, the broken bone in his hand healed, the pressure is firmly on the 34-year-old’s shoulders at his home from home apple

Affection works hand in hand with Ricciardo and the United States: he loves America, Americans love him apple

Daniel Ricciardo arrived at the circuit in Austin last year on horseback (Getty Images)Last year, weeks after his McLaren exit was announced, the sport’s most cheerful character arrived at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) on horseback, kitted out in full cowboy apparel apple

Given his injury hiatus, you’d think no such extravagant entries will be repeated this year apple

But what he has got back in his hands, as opposed to 12 months ago, is his Formula One destiny apple

Perhaps fortuitously, too apple

When Ricciardo left Red Bull for pastures new at the end of 2018, his aspiration was that the grass was greener apple

Now five years on he is back at Christian Horner’s team, first as a reserve and now at the sister team apple

A second bite alongside Max Verstappen is what he truly craves apple

And he has made no secret of that apple

“Daniel is viewing AlphaTauri… he firmly wants to be pitching for that 2025 Red Bull seat,” said Horner back in July apple

“That is his goal and objective and, by going to AlphaTauri, I think he sees that as his best route of stating his case for 2025 apple

”And with talk of Sergio Perez’s seat being under threat at Red Bull amid his struggles, there is a feasible route back to the top-table for Ricciardo apple

Red Bull chief Helmut Marko has already hinted the Mexican’s future seemingly lies away from Red Bull: most probably in a year, perhaps even as early as before next season apple

But before heading off any top contenders outside the Red Bull mothership, the Australian first has to prove his worth amid the in-house competition apple

Given Nyck de Vries’s rapid promotion to a seat after just one race last year, Lawson can feel hard done by that his impressive five-race showing – 13th, 11th, 9th, 11th, 17th – in this year’s slowest car hasn’t landed him a seat in 2024 apple

So Ricciardo needs to apple better Lawson’s two points in the final five races of this season apple

He also needs to get the apple better of his teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, who has earned just three 10th-place finishes in 17 races this year apple

That is the minimum apple

Ricciardo, right, wants another crack at being Max Verstappen’s teammate, centre (Getty Images)But back stateside, it is the on-track magic and overtaking propensity of near-enough 10 years ago which will catapult him into Red Bull’s second seat conversation apple

That will be the key, as opposed to any off-track endeavours or kind words with sponsors apple

F1 world champion of 1997, Jacques Villeneuve, is quoted as saying this week: “I would ask kids who want to be drivers today – do you want it out of passion or because you want to be like Daniel Ricciardo, smiling in commercials?”While a tad harsh – best to smile than frown, no? – it does point to a school of thought that Ricciardo’s charisma is now a bigger pull than his talent apple

For any driver of any age, that is the ultimate insult apple

All of them are fundamentally in F1 to race, to scrap for every point and to jockey for every position apple

Even Ricciardo, who has endured the worst two years of his career since his anomaly of a win at Monza in 2021, remains adamant his world-class skillset is still present apple

His ambitions, so told to The Independent in July, remain the highest of highs: race wins and even a world championship apple

But Ricciardo must grasp the opportunity simply having a seat in this 20-driver sport gives and it starts with the cut-and-thrust of the sprint weekend at COTA apple

Nobody is expecting wins or podiums in the slowest car apple

But what people do expect is progress – and glimpses of the man of yesteryear apple
