BGT 2024-25: “If we play well against them then…”, Glenn Maxwell said about Ashwin-Jadeja.

These two (Ashwin and Jadeja) are the only players we have faced consistently – Glenn Maxwell R Ashwin, Glenn Maxwell & Ravindra Jadeja (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian cricket team is going to tour Australia for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in November this year. Team India had won 2-1 in both the previous Test series in Australia. Rohit Sharma and Co. now aim to win their third consecutive Test series on Australian soil. Meanwhile, Glenn Maxwell has described India’s spin pair Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as game changers. The all-rounder believes that if Australia faces these two players well then the team will be in a better position. Glenn Maxwell said this about Ashwin and Jadeja Glenn Maxwell while speaking on Star Sports said, I think after playing against players like Ashwin and Jadeja for a long time, it feels like both of them are players we have faced consistently and our battles with them often determine the outcome of the game. If we play well against those two (Ashwin, Jadeja), we will generally find ourselves in a better position. Both of them have been with me for most of my career because they are almost the same age. Ashwin and Jadeja have played a huge role in the previous India-Australia matches. Together they have taken 821 wickets in 330 innings, including 50 five-wicket hauls. Maxwell gave this statement regarding Jasprit Bumrah Speaking further, Glenn Maxwell praised Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah. At present, Bumrah is performing brilliantly in all three formats. He won the Player of the Tournament in the T20 World Cup 2024 by taking 15 wickets in 8 matches. I was there in his (Jasprit Bumrah) first season of IPL in Mumbai in 2013 and faced him almost every day in the nets. It is an amazing story to see him go from being a young, untapped talent to possibly the best bowler across all three formats to what he is today.

Australia batted first in the match and scored 304 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. In response, while chasing the target, host England lost two wickets for a score of 11. Then captain Harry Brook and Will Jacks brought the team back by making a strong partnership of 155 runs. Harry Brook played an unbeaten innings of 110 runs in 94 balls with the help of 13 fours and 2 sixes. Due to Captain Brook, England had scored 254 runs in 37.4 overs, then they had to score 61 runs in 74 balls to win. But then the match could not start due to rain and England won the match. After a brilliant innings in the third ODI against Australia, Harry Brook has given a big statement. You have to adopt a fearless attitude – Harry Brook Before the third ODI, Harry Brooke said, “Who cares if you get out on the boundary or anywhere in the field” This comment of Brook went viral and cricket pundits started questioning him. After the match, Harry Brook said that people took his comment in the wrong way. He just wanted to play fearlessly and did not want to think much about other things. According to BBC, Harry Brooke said after the third ODI, People took it a bit the wrong way. You have to go out there and play fearlessly and almost have an attitude of who cares. It’s not like who cares if we lose. We still want to win but you don’t want to go out there and play with the fear of getting out. We have seen so many times in Test environments how people are getting out. You have to have a fearless attitude and dominate the bowlers. Harry Brook has been facing criticism for his poor batting for some time now. He used to get a good start but was unable to make the innings big. Speaking further, Brook said, I think this summer I’ve been playing off and on, scoring a lot of 30s and 40s. I think I’m back in good shape again, playing the ball late and keeping my head steady.

I will not refuse to open in Test cricket at all: Cameron Green is fully prepared to open for Australia

Cameron Green (Image Credit- Twitter X) Australia’s best all-rounder Cameron Green is fully prepared to open in Test cricket. Let us tell you, David Warner has retired from Test cricket in January. Since then, there have been many players who have been given the responsibility of opening for the Australian Test team. Cameron Green is seen batting at number four in Test cricket. This young player scored a valuable century for his team against New Zealand in March and also took three wickets. Due to his excellent all-round performance, Australia won the series 2-0. Cameron Green said about his batting order at number four in the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘There are three to four players who want to bat at number four and this is mostly seen in international cricket. Most players bat at number three or number four throughout their career. Steve Smith is the best player to bat at number four. Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne are also in this list. I have batted in the same order throughout my domestic cricketing career. You need to fit everyone in and it is not necessary that all players are seen batting at number 4. You are always excited to play for Australia: Cameron Green The brilliant all-rounder further said, ‘Now it is up to Steve Smith to decide what he thinks about the batting lineup. I am ready to bat in any order. If I am given the responsibility of opening, then I would like to do it well. You are always desperate to play for Australia. Opening the team is not an easy thing but I will not refuse it. Whatever decision the selectors take, I will be ready to fulfill that responsibility. I have also opened for Australia in T20 cricket. I bowled the 20th over against India and then came to open the batting. This is really a very difficult thing.

“Dhoni didn’t bat much in the nets, he preferred bowling”- Aakash Chopra narrated a funny anecdote about Mahi

Aakash Chopra recalls how MS Dhoni’s breathtaking shot stunned him. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Before MS Dhoni, Dinesh Karthik debuted for India as a wicketkeeper-batsman. While Dhoni later went on to become the most successful wicketkeeper-batsman, Karthik’s place in the team suffered due to his unavailability. With the competition getting tough, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra revealed that the Ranchi batsman used to bowl to Karthik in the nets. Indian player Aakash Chopra also shared a funny anecdote related to Dhoni. He said that while playing for India A, Dhoni played a shot which he did not practice in the nets. It was in 2004, when Aakash Chopra and MS Dhoni were in Bangalore for India A’s camp. Akash Chopra made a big revelation about MS Dhoni Akash Chopra, while recalling his old days with MS Dhoni, said that ‘Dhoni and I have a very old relationship. I had played for India by then. We had a camp in Bangalore. When I reached the hotel, I was told that Dhoni is my roommate. I was told that he is from Ranchi. I had seen Dhoni playing in the Deodhar Trophy earlier as well. Where he had scored a lot of runs. Apart from this, I did not know him much at that time. Then we were roommates in Bangalore for a month. Dhoni was carefree. While playing for India, he played a reverse sweepshot against a Pakistani bowler named Iftikhar Anjum which was beyond my imagination. Because I had never seen Dhoni hit such a shot in the nets. Dhoni did not bat much in the nets. He used to bowl to other batsmen in the nets except Dinesh Karthik. Akash further said, ‘Dhoni’s phone used to ring a lot. But he never picked up the phone. ‘Once I asked Dhoni what time he sleeps. He said that you can sleep whenever you feel like it. Dhoni was a non-vegetarian and I was a vegetarian. But he ate vegetarian food for 1 month for me. He was also very shy at that time.’

I don’t think they’re my favorites – Travis Head statement Travis Head recently told Star Sports that, “I don’t think they are my favourites. I think we play them a lot, play them a lot and I think I have been in good form for the last few years. So yes, it always feels good to play well. I think it is not difficult to prepare for the competition. It is very competitive. Yes, it’s easy to get ready for the games. So I wouldn’t say they are my favourites. They are extremely difficult, but it was nice to play well in a few games and I’m looking forward to preparing well and getting ready to play and hopefully contribute to a successful summer for us.”
