DTVHINDI‘Everyone is used to scoring so many centuries’ Sunil Gavaskar on comparing Virat Kohli with tennis greats
Recently, Virat has scored the 30th century of his Test career against Australia. Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, former Indian captain and popularly known as Run Machine Virat Kohli has returned to his old style. Kohli, who was out for just 5 runs in the first innings of the Perth Test match, was seen batting brilliantly in the second innings. Kohli scored the 30th century of his Test career and 81st overall in the match. However, before scoring runs in the first match of this series, Kohli has been in poor form in red ball cricket for some time. Let us tell you that before BGT, when New Zealand whitewashed India 3-0 in the home Test series, Kohli was able to score only 93 runs in that series. On the other hand, now while talking about this brilliant performance of Virat Kohli, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement. Gavaskar has compared Kohli with tennis greats like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and said that when he does not win the title, people think that he is out of form. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Quoting News 18, Gavaskar said about Kohli – It is like I said in the commentary that Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, they are title winners. If they lose in the semi-finals, people say, oh, they are not in form. But if someone else reaches the semi-finals, you will say – oh, what a great performance. Gavaskar further said – Something similar is with Virat Kohli also, because everyone is used to him scoring so many centuries. When he doesn’t score 100, even if he is scoring 70-80, some people say, look, he is not scoring runs. This is the reason why there is such a feeling among the fans. But Indian fans, they are greedy fans. They want their favorite cricketer to score a century.

So, in the first match of this series played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India had registered a historic victory by 295 runs due to the amazing bowling of Jasprit Bumrah. This was India’s biggest win in terms of runs in Test cricket on Australian soil. So after this victory, many Australian cricket fans have started calling Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action suspicious. Bumrah was also seen in the role of stand-in captain in the absence of Rohit Sharma in this match. On the other hand, former Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell has targeted those who questioned Bumrah’s bowling action. Defending Bumrah, the former veteran cricketer said that the nonsense of questioning his action should be stopped now. Greg Chappell gave a big statement Let us tell you that after questions were raised on Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action on social media, in his column written for The Sydney Morning Herald, Chappell said – Yet it was Australia’s batting performance, which was more worrying. India’s bowlers, led by the lethal Jasprit Bumrah, looked faster and more dangerous. By the way, please stop this nonsense of questioning Bumrah’s action. Chappell further said – It is unique, and obviously clean. This is the mark of a champion bowler, who brings out his art during the match. Australia’s top order is a matter of concern. To avoid forced changes in the team, they (Australia) will have to perform in Adelaide. It is noteworthy that the second match of this series will be played in Adelaide from 6th December. This will be a day-night pink ball match. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will also be seen making a comeback in the team in this match.

Bumrah and Ashwin are not playing in Perth Test. Jasprit Bumrah & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is very angry after seeing the playing XI with which Team India captain has entered in the first match of the series. Washington Sundar has been included as a spin all-rounder in the playing XI for the first Test, while both senior and experienced Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been dropped. After seeing this decision of the team management, Sunil Gavaskar scolded head coach Gautam Gambhir and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah for this decision on live TV. Sunil Gavaskar took Jasprit Bumrah’s class Gavaskar said, ‘It was really surprising that R Ashwin and Jadeja did not play, they have taken 900 wickets in Test matches. He is not a bowler who can play only in Indian or subcontinental conditions. He is a very clever bowler, he is a very experienced bowler. Even if they don’t get you wickets, they will be able to slow down the scoring rate because of the cleverness with which they bowl. Gavaskar further said, ‘I felt that there are very long boundaries on these Australian wickets, so in such a situation you can include both of them in the playing XI. But this is a new management and new thinking. He has gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is a promising player. There is no fault of his in this, but my only question is, is he completely prepared for Test cricket? Former legend, ‘He has not played many first class matches and so clearly, I think, this selection of Nitish is based on expectations and nothing less than that. Like all Indian cricket followers, I hope it is successful. The Indian team won the toss and batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 150 runs.

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
