The player
Australia's most successful Test captain and one of the great pull-shot players. Ponting and the Kookaburra Kahuna are inseparable in cricket imagery — the oversized swell and yellow labels defined the early-2000s Australian dominance.
Ponting's career mirrored the rise of the Kahuna as the world's most popular professional bat profile.
