Dhiraj Malhotra has been a friend of The Foundation since
its inception. When he learned of Equation, Dhiraj called us
and offered to donate Ricky Ponting’s World Cup 2007 gold
medal that Ricky had gifted him in the Windies. A cricket
administrator by passion and profession, Dhiraj has been
with the ICC for the last six years. ‘I was with Ricky after the
awards ceremony and quite boldly asked him for the medal as
a souvenir, fully expecting him to say no. To my astonishment,
Ricky just gave it to me. My donating it to Equation is nothing
compared to his awesome gesture. Thank you, Ricky, and good
luck to The Foundation. May this medal bring millions!’
When Ricky Ponting lifted the World Cup on 28th April, 2007, it was the first time any team
had won the cup three times in a row. It was the fourth time Australia were on top of the
cricketing world. For Ricky Ponting nothing could have been more special than leading his
team to World Cup victory. Yet, in characteristic Ponating style, when asked how he felt about
the performance of the Australian team he said, ‘I fully expect us to win every game we play, it
doesn’t matter what the make-up of the team is.’ We salute a true champion. |
