Not only this, the Indian team has now fallen to sixth place in the rankings of the World Test Championship. After the end of the match, match referee Chris Broad also imposed a huge fine on the Indian team. According to Chris Broad, the Indian team had bowled two overs less and that is why this fine has been imposed on them. At present the Indian team has 14 points.

In the first Test match played against South Africa, KL Rahul scored a brilliant century in the first innings for the Indian team and Virat Kohli batted very well in the second innings. However, the bowlers of the Indian team could not bowl well. Not only this, team captain Rohit Sharma was also very disappointed with his team’s bowling. He himself gave the statement that apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no other bowler could leave his mark in this match. It is very important for the Indian team to win the second and final test match. The second and final Test match between South Africa and India starts from 3 January. Even though Rohit Sharma and the rest of the team may not have performed well in the first match, they will have to bat and bowl strongly in the second test.

Sanjay Manjrekar’s big reaction regarding Prasidh Krishna, said- throwing him out after just one match…
Manjrekar believes that the team management will give Prasidh another chance. Sanjay Manjrekar and Prasidh Krishna (Image Source: Indian fast bowler Prasidh Krishna made his debut in the first test against South Africa, but he could not do anything special in his debut test. In the bowling spell of 20 overs, Prasidh spent 93 runs and took only 1 wicket. Despite his poor performance, former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar believes that it would not be right to drop Prasidh after just one match. Sanjay Manjrekar said on Cricinfo that it would be a bit difficult to drop Prasidh Krishna after just one match. If you watch him, he’s not someone who hits the ball hard. He uses his height. Everything he pitches is a little floaty. The only balls that have some speed and power are the short balls. Management will give him another chance- Sanjay Manjrekar He believes that the team management led by Rahul Dravid will give Prasidh another chance. However, he also said that if Ravi Shastri and Virat Kohli were still at the helm of the Test team, they would have taken the tough decision of dropping the bowler. He continued by saying that if Mukesh Kumar plays, I don’t think anyone will be unhappy with it. They will see how Mukesh is bowling in the nets and then decide if it is a good fit for Prasidh Krishna. Because this is something that the team management cares about. He said that he can give another chance. But this is a two-match series, so we may be willing to make changes. read this also- ‘One cannot depend on one bowler’, Rohit Sharma angry at the bowlers after the defeat in Centurion

If England reaches India 3 days before then it will be a big mistake, why did the former English cricketer say this?
According to reports, England will train in UAE before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Team England (Pic Source-Twitter) After Ben Stokes became the captain and Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach, England have completely changed their red ball approach and they are playing very aggressive cricket at the moment. England have been very successful in the longest format of the game, but the India tour starting from January 25 is not going to be easy for them. Ben Stokes and Co. have not yet been tested in spin-friendly conditions. And that’s why former cricketer Steve Harmison believes that the England team will make a big mistake if they reach India just 3 days before the first Test. According to reports, England will train in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) before reaching India on the night of 21 January or the morning of 22 January. Harmison also said that the team cannot go into the first Test without preparation. They may lose 5-0 – Steve Harmison Speaking to talkSPORT, Harmison said, ‘If England go three days early, they could lose 5-0. You cannot go to India without preparation. In fact you cannot go to India even with a lot of preparation, you can be in India six weeks in advance and still not be ready for the first Test. He further said, I would love to know what players like Pietersen, Strauss, Cook would think about England touring India three days before the series. I think they’ll laugh at you. Harmison also said that it is not a new thing in which the visiting team reaches late. Rather, these are the players who have played a huge role in England’s late arrival in India. read this also – SA v IND: Team India is missing that one player a lot – Dinesh Karthik’s big statement
SA v IND: Team India is missing that one player a lot – Dinesh Karthik’s big statement
Mohammed Shami had performed brilliantly in the World Cup 2023. Dinesh Karthik Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik said that the Indian team is missing the injured Mohammed Shami in the ongoing Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. 33-year-old fast bowler Shami was the highest wicket-taker in the 2023 ODI World Cup. He was rested for the series against Australia and South Africa. It was expected that Shami would play an important role in the two-match Test series against the Proteas, but due to an ankle injury, he was ruled out of this series as well. On the second day of the Boxing Day Test, India scored 245 runs thanks to a brilliant century from KL Rahul, after which the hosts ended the day with a score of 256/5. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding Mohammed Shami Speaking to Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “He (Mohammed Shami) has grown in stature as a bowler and leader of the fast bowling group. He is an able lieutenant of Jasprit Bumrah. You want to bowl with a straight seam on a pitch like this. I promise you that, if he had played, he would have definitely got some wickets. The Indian team is really missing him. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj took two wickets each for India. On his Test debut, Prasidh Krishna gave 61 runs in 15 overs and took one wicket. Seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur could not take a single wicket giving 57 runs in 12 overs. Karthik felt that Prasidh and Shardul did not provide enough support to Bumrah and Siraj on the second day. Karthik further said, “Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna were going close to 118 runs in their 27 overs. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj gave only 111 runs in their 31 overs. Siraj was a bit expensive, especially in the last spell as he bowled some brilliant balls. You could see that whenever he was on the field you felt that he could get you a wicket or two. Whereas with Shardul or Prasidh, you have to wait for the batsman to make a mistake.” Also read: Former cricketers criticized Rohit Sharma’s captaincy
