Ricky Ponting’s ₹173 crore 'trophy home' in Toorak, Melbourne screams luxury with a private tennis court, designer pool, and cricket memorabilia

Ricky Ponting is among those cricketers in history whose influence goes far beyond statistics. He is the man who led Australia to two ICC Cricket World Cup titles in 2003 and 2007. He is a historic winning captain and is regarded as one of the greatest batters of all time, having scored over 27,000 international runs across formats. Though he retired in 2012, Ponting is the head coach of the Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has signed a four-year contract starting with the 2025 season.
