Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane has pulled off "something special" in leading the team away from the debacle of the first Test against Australia to a commanding position in the Boxing Day Test.

"I think he's done a great job to pick up the pieces from Adelaide with this team, lead really well in the field yesterday (Saturday) and you can see he's playing like a captain now as well," Ponting told cricket.com.au.
