Let us tell you that New Zealand won the three-match Test series against Team India by 3-0. Team India players failed to leave their mark in this Test series. For the hosts, Rishabh Pant was the highest run-scorer in the Test series. He had scored 261 runs in six innings. After this Sarfaraz Khan had scored 171 runs in six innings. Apart from these two batsmen, no other player could bat strongly for Team India in the Test series. Now Team India has to tour Australia in which they have to play a five-match Test series. However, before this Test series, former Australian opener David Warner has given a big statement about the Indian team. According to the former player, if he had been in the Indian team, he would have felt very scared in front of the Australian attack. David Warner told Fox Sports, ‘This will help the Australian players a lot. Team India is touring Australia after a clean sweep against New Zealand. There will be a lot of pressure on him and the Australian team has three world class fast bowlers and one world class spinner. If I had been in Team India, I would have been very nervous. Former player praised New Zealand team fiercely David Warner further said, ‘In the first Test match played in Bengaluru, New Zealand took excellent catches and put their team in a strong position. If you are catching such catches then it is a very good thing. I know very well that it is not so easy to defeat Team India at home but the way New Zealand has played in this series is really amazing. Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. If Team India has to reach the finals of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win almost all the matches against Australia. Talking about Australia, it is not so easy to defeat them in their own home and Team India would also know this very well.

The team management will decide on the combination but Dhruv Jurel can prove to be very effective in the conditions of Australia. Rohit and Yashasvi will open in your playing XI. Shubman Gill can be seen batting at number 3 and Virat Kohli at number four. After this, KL Rahul will be seen batting at number five and Rishabh Pant at number 6. After this you can include one more batsman in the playing XI. You have Jadeja and Ashwin at number 8 and 9. After this, you can play two fast bowlers at number 10 and number 11. I have seen that batsmen can also be seen practicing bowling in the nets. If you can go with 4 fast bowlers, then you can also bowl some overs part time. I will not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh, Rahul and Dhruv are all included in the playing 11: Deep Dasgupta The former player further said, ‘You would definitely want to see Sarfaraz in the middle order. If we talk about it, Jurel has also batted brilliantly. I would not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel all three remain in the playing XI. This is a series against Australia and the way the young player has batted so far, he can prove to be a match winner for the Indian team. However, now the team management has to decide whether they play with seven batsmen or six batsmen.’ Batsmen who hit the most sixes for India in the death overs of T20I Batsmen who scored the fastest T20 century for Australia- Mushir Khan broke Sachin Tendulkar’s 33 year old record Wicketkeepers with most Man of the Match awards for India 7 expensive watches of Hardik Pandya and their prices, know here- Virat Kohli has earned more than 8 billion rupees in the last 12 months List…

With one foot in WTC final, India thinking of simulating English conditions in Ahmedabad for fourth India-Australia Test – DTVHINDI
Representative image of groundsmen spraying water on the pitch of the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. | Photo Credit: Vijay Soneji India are on course to reach their second straight World Test Championship final and if they end up winning here, a pace-friendly track could be laid out in the final game of the series in Ahmedabad to prepare for the summit clash in London in June. Before the start of the Border-Gavaskar trophy, India needed to beat Australia 3-0 or 3-1 to qualify for the WTC final and keep the destiny in their own hands. India skipper Rohit Sharma doesn’t want to jump the gun but, ahead of the third Test beginning at the Holkar Stadium on Wednesday, he said the team has already spoken about simulating English conditions in the fourth and final game against Australia. There is a strong possibility that India might end up facing Australia in the WTC final. “It will be a different ball game (facing Australia in England) for both teams, actually. There is definitely a possibility of that (Ahmedabad as preparatory game for WTC final). We have already spoken about it. We need to get the guys ready for it,” Rohit said in a media interaction. The WTC final will be played at The Oval in London from June 7-11, right after the IPL. Rohit Sharma said Shardul Thakur becomes an important member of the side in overseas conditions. “The important one is Shardul Thakur, because he comes into the planning for us. We don’t know how ready he is since he has just got married (laughs). We don’t know how many overs he has bowled. But that thought process is definitely there. “If we get the result we want here (Indore), we might think of doing something different in Ahmedabad for sure. “But we are not there yet. We have to win this game and then talk about it. That’ll be the right thing to do,” he said. ‘You are never in on these wickets’ India are well on their way to their 16th straight series win at home. Rohit feels reaching the WTC final will be a big achievement for his team, as winning even at home has not been easy. “Yes there are home conditions but they are challenging conditions; it is not easy for the batters to score runs consistently.” Australia have collapsed in the second innings of both the Tests and Rohit said it shows how hard it is to play in Indian conditions. “Yeah….that’s the beauty of this game and the pitches we are playing on. It can happen to us as well, not just them. I played 200 balls in Nagpur and never felt set. It just takes one ball to grip or keep low and you are out. On pitches like this, you are never in. “Yes, we have quality spinners who can change things around just like that but that does not give us the guarantee that we are going to win the Test or roll them over in one session. We…
