The second Test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from 6 December. Team India & Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Getty Images) India started the series in great style by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the first innings of the Perth Test, the Indian team had to struggle against the Australian fast bowling attack, the team was reduced to a score of just 150. The team then made a strong comeback in the second innings and gave Australia a target of 534 runs due to the brilliant batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal (161), Virat Kohli (100*) and KL Rahul (77). Due to the brilliant bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj and Harshit Rana, the host team was all out on 238. After India’s victory in the Perth Test, Australian legend Ricky Ponting praised the team and described Yashasvi Jaiswal as a big talent in India. Yashasvi was out on a duck in the first innings, but then compensated in the second innings by scoring a brilliant century. Ponting also said that Team India performs better abroad than at home. Ricky Ponting said this after India’s victory in Perth Test Ricky Ponting while talking on Star Sports said, He (Yashaswi Jaiswal) is not playing his first match, so obviously there is some discussion about him, and he is definitely very skillful. I think we saw that in the second inning this week. He is a huge talent in India, and he is going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was good to get him out cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made up for it in the second innings. So, you have to give them credit. Ponting further said, I didn’t think they would be able to win the first Test, going to India, Perth, in conditions that are so foreign to them. But I also said before the Test match that I think India are a better team away from home now than they are at home. I think they now play better on foreign wickets and conditions than in their own country. And this was proved last week in Perth.

For this reason GT had released Mohammed Shami, head coach Ashish Nehra made a big revelation

Shami has been bought by SRH for Rs 10 crore. Mohammed Shami (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT) had decided to release experienced Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami. However, the team had the opportunity to get the player back through Right to Match (RTM) in the mega auction held in Jeddah, but they did not use it. After this, the experienced bowler was included in the mega auction by 2016 IPL season champion Sunrisers Hyderabad in their team by paying Rs 10 crore. So now the team’s head coach and former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra has given a big statement regarding Shami’s release from the GT team. Ashish Nehra gave a big statement Let us tell you that during a discussion with Geo Cinema, Ashish Nehra said- Whatever he (Mohammad Shami) has done for Gujarat Titans and India, I mean Shami was a part of our retention planning. But then you see that retention is a different type of thing. Mohammed Shami, Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudarshan – every team has a lot of options. We also had RTM that we could use. But considering the price at which it went, we did not use RTM. No matter what planning you have, when it comes to mega auctions, your planning will not be successful all the time. On the other hand, if we give you information about the performance of Mohammed Shami for the one-time IPL champion Gujarat team, the 34-year-old experienced bowler had taken 48 wickets for the team. Even after this brilliant performance, the franchise released him from the team. Well, Shami, who plays domestic cricket for Bengal, has recently made a comeback after ankle injury. He played a match against Madhya Pradesh in Ranji Trophy. Currently, he is playing for Bengal in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which he has taken 4 wickets in the three matches played.
