Acing exquisite pull shots seems to run in the Ponting bloodline, as Ricky Ponting’s son recently demonstrated his flair during a Punjab Kings training session. While the former Australian captain is currently in India as the head coach of the PBKS franchise, his son also seems to be accompanying him from venue to venue off late.

A couple of days prior to Punjab Kings’ IPL 2025 match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, coach Ricky Ponting also found time to train his son. In a short video shared by the PBKS franchise on their social media accounts, Ponting junior can be seen unfurling some textbook drives and pulls, much reminiscent to that of his father’s stroke-play gallery.
