The Indian cricket team had performed brilliantly in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the first match played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India had won a big victory by 295 runs. India was the first team to defeat Australia for the first time in Test cricket on this ground.

So in this match, a brilliant performance was seen by the batsmen of Team India. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal played an innings of 161 runs, while former Indian captain Virat Kohli returned to form and scored the 81st century of his international cricket career.

On the other hand, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, experienced wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who came to open the match, was seen batting brilliantly. In the match, he played an innings of 77 runs in 176 balls, and played an important role in giving a strong start to Team India.

So now the second match of the BGT series between the two teams will be played at Adelaide Oval from 6th December. However, Rohit Sharma is going to make a comeback from Team India in this match. However, even after this, experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says that even after Rohit is in the playing eleven, Rahul should play in the top order.

Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement

Let us tell you that before the start of the second match between Australia and India to be held in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – I think, for some reason if we can continue the same batting order like KL. And if Yashasvi opens, then Rohit can come at number three, and Shubman Gill can come at number five.

If Rohit wants to open, then KL should bat at number 3. Nothing after this. But I think he (KL Rahul) should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I hope we will not tamper with it.

“The best in death overs…”, Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the bowling unit of Delhi Capitals.

Aakash Chopra says that Delhi has the best bowling attack in death overs. Mitchell Starc & Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Delhi Capitals had retained Axar Patel (16.50 crore), Kuldeep Yadav (13.25 crore), Tristan Stubbs (10 crore), and Abhishek Porel (4 crore). The franchise had entered the auction with a purse of Rs 73 crore and bought great players like KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Harry Brook, Ashutosh Sharma, T Natarajan and Mohit Sharma. The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals is looking great for the upcoming season of IPL, regarding which cricket commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement. He said that the bowling attack of Gujarat and Mumbai is excellent. But Delhi has the best bowling attack in the death overs. Aakash Chopra said this about the fast bowling of Delhi Capitals Delhi Capitals has bowlers like T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, who have the power to turn the game in the last overs. Aakash Chopra praised Natarajan’s consistency, saying that his figures were among the best among Indian bowlers. On the other hand, Mukesh has become a death-bowling specialist for Delhi. At the same time, the team also has Starc and Mohit Sharma. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, No one has had a better bowler than him for more than 15 to 20 years. If you look at T Natarajan’s numbers and compare them with all the other Indian players, you will find that he is very, very good, and last year was also good. Mukesh Kumar’s stature has increased a lot. He has death bowling for this franchise and has performed very well. They have bought Mitchell Starc, and it has proved to be a big steal. His fees have been reduced by 50 percent compared to last time. This time he had to come in a big auction. As soon as you get into a big auction, your price gets cut in half. They also have Mohit Sharma. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament- Chopra At the same time, due to the presence of Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, the spin bowling of Delhi Capitals is strong. Both the players can prove fatal for the opposing teams in the middle order. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament and interestingly, they did not need an auction because they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. No team has eight overs of this kind of spin and that is why both were retained. He was given a lot of money and asked to stay. On the small ground and flat pitch of Delhi, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a lot of sixes are hit. If you don’t have quality there you get exposed. Quality is the only thing that sets you apart from others, and the two spinners here shine like gold.
