Ricky Ponting who is not in the team 11 of Mumbai Indians currently but is in the news because of his french beard. His team is performing well in IPL and has qualified for the semi-finals in the IPL.
I am not sure to whom he is inspired off in the team as none of them has beard on their faces. Before his beard arrived he was in the news all around the world for his marvelous catch which he took against Dehli Daredevils. But his batting is not up to the standards of Gayle, Pollard, Warner and many of them.Other than him Mumbai Indians have got Kieren Pollard who is a wonderful fielder and a good late order batsman.
It seems like Mumbai Indians will not play with Ponting in do or die games though I am bit surprised why he was not given a chance in the last match against Kings XI Punjab. But who knows he may be chosen for those critical matches. His captaincy can be the edge factor for which he can be consider for this year IPL semis and if qualified for the finals also
He will not create any sort of disturbance like the way Gayle does but he will surely create some panic and shock the opposition from his fielding and captaincy.
