One such win took place during the year 2020-21, when the inexperienced Indian team came close to winning the historic Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. India had to face a shameful defeat in the first Test in Adelaide, Team India was all out for 36 runs in the second innings of that match. Mohammed Shami was injured during this clash and the then captain Virat Kohli also returned to India with his wife for the birth of their first child.

And then the second new ball was taken and Pujji (Cheteshwar Pujara) hit seven fours.” “So, when I went to the toilet, he was sitting alone in the dressing room, still wearing his pads. I looked at him and said, Pujji is scoring all your runs. He has hit 7 boundaries in half an hour. You are boring me man, by hitting reverse. You are getting out in the same way again and again.

After this, Pant (Rishabh Pant) played an important role in India’s spectacular victory in the fourth Test at Gabba. He scored an unbeaten 89 off 138 balls as India chased down the target of 328 runs in the…
