New Delhi. Ricky Ponting has shown amazing jigra in India. He did not leave India even in difficult times. While foreign players decided to return home, Ponting pulled his foot back from climbing the plane at the last moment. Ponting also stopped 4 other Australian players with him in India. Punjab King's head coach Ricky Ponting was about to fly to the indigenous when the ceasefire was implemented between India and Pakistan but he got off the aircraft at the last minute. The Australian veteran had the option to return to Australia but decided to land from the aircraft filled with worried passengers at the last minute.

Ricky Ponting stayed in Delhi itself. And he also ensured that foreign players of Punjab Kings did not fly from the national capital on Saturday night. Those who were worried about the possibility of war between two atomic-head countries.

The group of players traveling from Dharamshala to Delhi after the IPL's cancellation on May 8 included Marcus Stoinis, Aaron Hardy, Josh England and Javier Bartlet (all from Australia). A source of the team said, 'Foreign players do not have a habit of such a situation (like war). So it was natural for him to be worried. Under the leadership of Stoinis, they all wanted to get out as soon as possible and it was natural to happen. But Ponting convinced him to stay here even after the ceasefire, which I think is fantastic.

Marco Yansen of South Africa is the only player from India who was included in the playing XI. But he is in Dubai and is only a short distance. If the IPL is scheduled to begin again, Punjab is in good condition because most of its stars Indian and foreign players are already in the country.
