Age only 10 years and twice to beat death. We are talking about Ricky Ponting's son Fletcher Ponting, whose condition became so bad twice that his father started feeling helpless. Born on 26 September 2014, Fletcher Ponting was first in trouble by meningitis and then the infection during Harnia surgery worsened his condition. Fletcher's life both times survived with great difficulty. But now he is fully fit and is seen walking on the path of becoming a cricketer like his father. How much Ricky Ponting's son has the ability like him, he is detected by looking at his practice during IPL 2025.

Death to death twice within 8 months of birth

Fletcher Ponting is now 10 years old. But, in the first 8 months of his small life, he has defeated death twice. This was the first time when only 6 weeks of Fletcher had meningitis. In this, there is infection or inflammation in the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. When Fletcher Ponting was 8 months old after recovering from this disease, he got infection during Harnia surgery and his condition deteriorated a lot. These were very troublesome for Ricky Ponting's family. But this time his son also succeeded in defeating the disease.

Like the father, like a son… tremendous practice

Fletcher Ponting comes to India with his father almost every year during the IPL. And even during IPL 2025, he is in India. Punjab Kings have shared a video of Fletcher Ponting's practice with father, in which he is seen putting shots. Every shot like cover drive, pull shot, straight drive that his father used to make bowlers sleep by putting him on the cricket field, Fletcher is also seen applying the same way. Fletcher Ponting may not be playing IPL, but the Punjab Kings' head coach and his father Ricky Ponting made him practice, he was no less than the practice of winning the match.
