Fans around the world still remember former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is hailed as one of the greatest cricketers to have graced the game. He was known for terrorizing the opposition bowlers by taking them to the cleaners with his power-hitting. The legendary batter emerged out as one of the most prolific run-scorer for the Australian cricket team.
In fact, Ponting is still the most successful skipper of the Australian cricket team to date and at present, he is coaching the Delhi Capitals franchise in the Indian Premier League after taking retirement. His personal life has been equally interesting as his cricket career was.
In fact, Ricky’s love story is nothing less than the story of a romantic Bollywood movie. ‘Who is Ricky Ponting’s wife?’ has always been one of the most asked questions about the cricketers’ wife. Here, in this article, we will tell you the lesser-known love story of Ricky Ponting and his wife Rianna Jennifer.
Well, Ponting and Jennifer’s love story reveals a different side of the aggressive cricketer. The couple first met each other when Jennifer had come to watch a cricket match with her brother. Although, in an ABD documentary from 2013, Jennifer claimed that she first saw Ponting at a bar alongwith Shane Warne.
Interestingly, Ponting was playing in that game which Jennifer came to watch with her family. Ponting’s family was also present in the stadium. It was during the break that his eyes fell on Jennifer when he went to meet his family.
Time and again, Ponting has admitted that it was love at first sight for him. Riana was still a student and was pursuing law at that time. After getting mesmerized by her beauty, Ponting went searching for her in her university as soon as the game ended. Soon after that incident they started dating each other and ultimately tied the knot in June 2002. The couple is now blessed with three children together.
