Steve Smith got nervous before the start of BGT, said- I get irritated with Jadeja
Let us know what else Smith said about Jadeja (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s all-rounder player Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best all-rounder players not only in India but also in world cricket. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Jadeja said goodbye to the T20 International format. However, at present Jadeja is an important part of the ODI and Test team of the Indian cricket team. Jadeja proved his usefulness in the recently concluded Test series against Bangladesh. Apart from this, the way Jadeja remains active on the field, there is always a fear among the players of the opposing team. On the other hand, now Steve Smith, who is very active on the field, has recently given a big statement regarding Ravindra Jadeja. Smith has admitted that Jadeja can intimidate anyone because of his excellence on the field. Smith also says that he is very fast in fielding and bowling. Steve Smith gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia, Steve Smith said in a discussion with Star Sports – I get angry with Jadeja on the field only because he is a very good player. He always finds a way to get into the fight, whether it’s scoring runs, taking wickets or taking spectacular catches. I get a little irritated with Jadeja sometimes, but he is a very good player. Also, let us tell you that this is not the first time when someone has been impressed by the all-round game of Ravindra Jadeja. Before Smith, Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood has also accepted Jadeja’s game. Well, it will be worth watching that when India goes on Australia tour for five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) later this year, how is Jadeja going to perform?

A big news related to his return is coming out at this time. Shami’s hopes of returning to Team India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy have suffered a major setback. It is being told that he has suffered a knee injury during rehab at the National Cricket Academy, Bangalore. Shami’s knees got swollen while recovering from injury at the NCA, which will further delay his return. Shami has been out of the field since the conclusion of the ODI World Cup in 2023. This latest injury suffered by the fast bowler means that he will now stay away from cricket for 6-8 weeks. Mohammed Shami got injured during rehab at NCA According to a TOI report, Mohammed Shami’s knees got swollen while he was recovering from the injury at the National Cricket Academy, Bengaluru. The fast bowler, who recently started bowling at the NCA, was expected to make his comeback in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, which is scheduled to begin in late November. However, a knee injury means Shami’s return will be further delayed. According to the report, a BCCI source said that Shami had resumed bowling and was trying to make a comeback to competitive cricket soon, but his knee injury has resurfaced recently. The BCCI medical team is assessing the injury, but it may take some time. The source said that Shami’s recent injury is a big blow to the NCA medical team. He claimed that he had been working on the fast bowler for almost a year. The medical team is trying its best to bring him back on the field soon. Now it remains to be seen whether Mohammed Shami will be fit before the upcoming tour against Australia.

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.

(Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images) Team India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia which is starting from November 22. Team India will definitely want to win this Test series. Let us tell you, Team India is in very good form at this time and it is at the top of the points table in this cycle of the World Test Championship. Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, India’s best batsman Hanuma Vihari has made a big statement about veteran player Cheteshwar Pujara. According to Hanuma Vihari, Team India will miss Cheteshwar Pujara a lot in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. According to him, Cheteshwar Pujara has been the backbone of the Indian team’s batting lineup in the last two series. According to Times of India, the brilliant player Hanuma Vihari said, ‘Pujara will be missed a lot. He has been the backbone of Team India’s batting lineup in the last two series. He batted brilliantly and also suffered a lot of injuries. He also batted for a long time and when he saw the new ball, the experienced player scored runs. Pujara made the job of the other batsmen easy. Now the question arises that who will play his role? This is also because at present the batting lineup of Team India is very aggressive in the top 6. All the players like to play their shots. I feel that Virat Kohli will be the only player who will handle one end and the rest of the batsmen will be seen playing important roles. They need experience at No. 6: Hanuma Vihari Hanuma Vihari further said, ‘KL Rahul’s role will be very important here because he has a lot of experience of playing in SENA countries and he can bat for a long time. He has performed brilliantly in SENA countries. I feel that KL Rahul should bat at number 6. Sarfaraz Khan is in good form at the moment but Rahul has a lot of experience. Now it is up to the team management to decide whom to give a chance to?

This player can open with Usman Khawaja in BGT, the cricketer himself suggested the name
Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will start in November Usman Khawaja. (Image Source: Getty Images) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS). It is worth noting that in November this year, India will tour Australia for a five-match Test series. While the batting order of the Indian team seems to be very clear during this series, the same is not the case in the Australian camp. Let us tell you that the Australian management is still thinking about which player should open the innings. Because Steve Smith’s statistics while opening have not been very good. After David Warner retired in January this year, Smith has played four Test matches at this position, in which he has been able to score a total of 171 runs at a meagre average of 28.50. On the other hand, Smith’s average while batting at number 4 in Tests is 61. So now during BGT, Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja has named the player who can open with him. Khawaja has suggested the name of Travis Head. Usman Khawaja gave a big statement In a recent interview with Fox Sports, Khawaja said, “He (Smith) will probably never say this. So I will say this for him. Opening is a very important position, but I still think we have the best Test player of my era, Steve Smith, in the team, and his best position has been number four.” Khawaja further said- I think that is the best batting position for him. He brings balance to our team. Marnus Labuschagne at number three and Smudge (Steve Smith) at number four. It is best for the team that whoever scores more runs at which position, he should be played at that position.

Former coach wants to see Steve Smith at number-4 in BGT 2024-25, said- “This is the right position for him…”
I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team – Justin Langer Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After David Warner’s retirement from the Test format, Steve Smith expressed his desire to open and the management backed him and gave him that position. But Smith has not been able to show anything special in the opening position so far. He scored 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. Smith’s average as an opener in Tests is 28.50, which is much less than his 56.97 in this format. Meanwhile, former Australia head coach Justin Langer feels that Steve Smith should return to number four in the next Test series, which is against India. He has said that the experienced batsman will definitely improve as an opener, but Smith will do better at number four. Smith’s opening partner Usman Khawaja also feels that the veteran should bat at number four. Steve Smith can bat at any number: Justin Langer Speaking on the Cricket et al podcast, Justin Langer said, He is our greatest player, great players adapt to conditions, they can bat at any position. I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team. Justin Langer further said, I think it is a specialised position (No. 4). It is not that he cannot do it (open the batting). I would love to see him bat at No. 4, but then they have to work out who will not play. I think it was about trying to bring Cameron Green up. Australia is scheduled to play a five-match Test series against India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November. The Kangaroo team had to face a 2-1 defeat in the last two Test series against India at home. The team is desperate to give a crushing defeat to Rohit Sharma and company in the upcoming series. Skipper Pat Cummins has already confirmed that he will back all-rounders in the five-match series and if he wants to keep both Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh in the team, Smith will remain in the playing XI as an opener.
BGT 2024: Australia, which has lost 2 series to India, is going to make a deadly counterattack, Pat Cummins took a big decision
Before the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Pat Cummins can be seen playing in the Sheffield Shield. Pat Cummins (Photo Source: Twitter) A 5 match Test series will be played between India and Australia in November-December. Australia has faced defeat in the last 2 home series, so this time they do not want to leave any stone unturned. Meanwhile, to improve his preparation before the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Pat Cummins can be seen playing in Australia’s major red ball tournament Sheffield Shield. The right-arm fast bowler last played the tournament in February 2021 and has featured in nine matches so far. Australia Test captain Pat Cummins wants to prepare himself by using the Sheffield Shield and the ODI series against Pakistan before the Test tour of India. Cummins told News Corp about this- “Ronnie (Australia head coach Andrew McDonald) called me and said we need to talk about this. I would have liked to go into the tournament a bit fresher, but I want to play some cricket this time around.” How is Pat Cummins going to prepare himself? “This window gives rest to my body, but I will get a chance to bowl well for six or eight weeks in the Sheffield Shield. I will go to the gym daily and do running, so that my body strength remains intact. After this we have to play an important Test series against India and our focus is completely on that.” Let us tell you that the way India has defeated Australia in the last two tours, the rivalry between India and Australia has become quite strong. This time Australia will want to win the series at any cost. That is why it is going to make every effort to counterattack. border gavaskar trophy 2024 schedule Full Schedule of IND vs AUS Test Series 2024 Match date place Time (Indian Standard Time) First Test 22-26 November Perth Stadium, Perth (D) 7:30 AM IST Second Test 6-10 December Adelaide Oval, Adelaide (D/N) 8:30 AM IST Third Test 14-18 December The Gabba, Brisbane (D) 5:30 AM IST Fourth Test 26-30 December MCG, Melbourne (D) 4:30 AM IST Fifth Test 3-7 January SCG, Sydney (D) 4:30 AM IST
