Ricky Ponting needs no introduction to the cricketing world. He was arguably the most successful Australian batsman and a great captain. He made his debut in 1995 and soon established himself as a vital cog in a strong Australian unit that dominated world cricket in the late 90's and early 2000's.

Ponting scored 13,378 runs from 168 Test matches at an average of 51.9 with 41 centuries and 62 half centuries. The most enterprising aspect about Ponting's career is the century of Test wins and he's the only player in cricket history to achieve this remarkable feat.

Virat Kohli is a match-winner and can turn matches on its head with his invincible batting. He has been the reason why India have registered some dominating victories in the recent past. He has been part of 37 Test victories in 73 matches, out of which 24 have come under his captaincy.

India may play another 80-90 matches before Kohli may take retirement and it seems a herculean task to win another 64 matches. If it happens, Kohli would arguably be the best ever to have graced Test cricket.
