On his new role in the Mumbai Indians team, Ponting said: "It's a huge honour and I thank Mrs Ambani and the Mumbai Indians management for the faith they have reposed in my abilities.
Mumbai Indians has the potent combination of Indian and international cricketers and I look forward to leading the team to play to its full potential.
