“If I look Prithvi play, he has got every bit as much talent as I had if not more, and I want to be able to turn him into a player that plays over a 100 Test matches for India and represents his country as much as possible,” Ponting said.

"If I look back through the teams that I’ve been around, when I took over Mumbai Indians, Rohit was very young, Hardik Pandya hadn’t played, Krunal hadn’t played. there have gone on to play cricket for India and that’s what I want to do here," added Ponting.

Prithvi Shaw, who initially played for the Indian Test team, was later ruled out for some time due to injury. It is noteworthy that he did not get a chance in the Indian team as he was injured in the subsequent matches.
