A child who defeats death only 10 years and twice. We are talking about Ricky Ponting's son Fletcher Ponting. Fletcher's condition had deteriorated twice that his father Ricky Ponting started feeling helpless. Born on 26 September 2014, Fletcher first faced meningitis and then his condition became even more serious due to infection during Harnia surgery. It was very difficult to save his life in both these incidents, but now he is completely healthy and is working hard like his father in cricket.

He is playing shots like cover drive, bridge shot, straight drive, who once used to baffle the bowlers on his father Ricky Ponting Cricket Ground. Even though Fletcher is not playing in the IPL, but seeing his practice, it seems that he can become a very big cricketer in future.

The team led by Punjab Kings head coach Ricky Ponting and new captain Shreyas Iyer made a brilliant start in IPL 2025.
