DTVHINDIBumrah’s tension may increase after seeing these figures before BGT, Pat Cummins alone said…
AUS vs IND (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. There will be a lot of pressure on the Indian team in this series after recently facing a clean sweep from New Zealand at home. The path to the World Test Championship has become difficult for India after losing 3-0 in the series against New Zealand. If India now wants to reach the WTC final, then they will have to perform well against Australia. To win BGT, Team India will have to perform well in all three departments (batting, bowling and fielding). The pace attack of the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is not as experienced as that of the host team Australia. You will be surprised to know that all the pacers of the Indian team together have not been able to take as many wickets in Test cricket as the Australian team captain Pat Cummins has in his account. AUS vs IND: India’s bowling attack is very weak compared to Australia. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are part of the playing XI for the Perth Test match. The number of Test wickets taken by these three is 900, whereas the four pacers of the Indian team together have been able to take only 265 wickets. In this way, in terms of bowling, the strength of the Australian team will be three times that of India. In the Test, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 173 wickets, Mohammad Siraj has taken 80 wickets, Akash Deep has taken 10 wickets and Prasidh Krishna has taken 2 wickets. The number of wickets taken by these four is 265, while Australian team captain Pat Cummins alone has taken 269 wickets in Test cricket. Whereas Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy have not yet debuted in Test cricket. Although when Team India last toured Australia, India’s pace attack was much weaker than Australia, yet the Indian team was successful in defeating the Kangaroos at their home. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India performs in this Border Gavaskar series.

According to Ravi Shastri, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep can play an important role in the victory of their team by bowling explosively in the first test. Talking about Jasprit Bumrah, he is counted among the best bowlers in the world and the performance of this experienced player has been excellent in all three formats of international cricket. Akash Deep has also bowled lethally in international Test cricket so far while Mohammad Siraj’s performance has also been excellent. Mohammad Siraj has not been seen in his best form for some time but he can be seen bowling tremendously against Australia. Team India would like to win the Perth Test Let us tell you that Team India had earlier played a three-match Test series against New Zealand in which they had to face defeat 0-3. However, now all the players will have to perform lethally against Australia. Talking about Australia, the team is in very good form at the moment. Before the Perth Test, the best batsman of the Indian team, Shubman Gill has also got injured. Now it remains to be seen which players Team India includes in its playing XI?

Cheteshwar Pujara entered for BGT 2024-25, will be seen in a new role in Australia
Cheteshwar Pujara was a part of the Indian team in the last Border-Gavaskar series. Cheteshwar Pujara (Photo Source: Getty) The upcoming five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Team India’s senior Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara will stay in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Pujara, who has been dropped from the Test team for a long time, will be seen in a different role in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this time. This time Pujara will be seen in the commentary box not with the bat but with the mike. Pujara is at number four in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. When India captured two consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophies in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21, Pujara played a very important role in it. 36-year-old Pujara has played 103 Test matches for India and during this he has scored a total of 7195 runs at an average of 43.60. Pujara has not played any Test match for India since the final match of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23. Since then, he has been continuously out of the team and now his comeback in Test is looking very difficult. In such a situation, now he has got a new role for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series. Cheteshwar Pujara will be seen doing commentary in Hindi. This time Pujara is going to be seen doing Hindi commentary in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik has returned to international cricket after doing commentary, now it will be interesting to see whether something similar happens with Cheteshwar Pujara or not? If we look at Pujara’s statistics in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, between 2010 and 2023, he has scored 2033 runs in 43 innings of 24 matches at an average of 50.82. There are only four Indian batsmen in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy who have scored more than 2000 runs and apart from Pujara, the names of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid are in this list.

“I am feeling good”- Big good news for Team India, KL Rahul is completely fit.
Before the opening Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025 to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India’s players are continuously getting injured, which has increased the tension of Team India. Firstly, Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul suffered elbow injuries during the practice session at the WACA Stadium. Later, Shubman Gill fractured his finger and was ruled out of the first Test match. Meanwhile, a relief news has come out for Team India, KL Rahul has returned to the field again after injury. Rahul was hit on the elbow by a rising ball from Prasidh Krishna during India’s intra-squad match on 15 November. He left the field after a check-up by the medical team, but the wicketkeeper-batsman worked out for about three hours during India’s training session on Sunday morning. According to RevSportz, Rahul batted for more than an hour at center wicket and looked comfortable. Rahul faced Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and other Indian bowlers. After spending a long time at the center wicket, instead of taking rest, Rahul went straight to the nets. He practiced for a long time in the nets with both new and old balls. KL Rahul said a big thing after returning from injury After being hit on his elbow on Day 1 of the match simulation, KL Rahul has recovered and is raring to go.#TeamIndia , #AUSvIND , @klrahul pic.twitter.com/FhVDSNk8tv — BCCI (@BCCI) November 17, 2024 The Karnataka batsman opened the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal during India’s intra-squad match simulation. When KL Rahul returned to the practice session after an elbow injury, he was now looking completely fit, but he was not in rhythm while batting. Gill has been ruled out of the first test due to a fracture in his finger, hence it has become very important for KL Rahul to be fit for the first test. When KL Rahul returned to the field after being injured, he said, I am feeling good. I batted. I am getting ready for the first test match. I have got a lot of time to prepare and I am very excited for this series.
‘KKR can still bid for his services’ Sunil Gavaskar on Shresus Iyer before IPL 2025 auction
This time IPL auction is going to be held in Jeddah on 24th and 25th November. Sunil Gavaskar and Shreyas Iyer (Image Credit- Twitter The auction for IPL 2025 is going to be held this time on 24 and 25 November in Jeddah city of Saudi Arabia. All the 10 franchises involved in this auction would like to purchase players and complete their respective remaining teams. On the other hand, before the start of this auction, former Indian captain and opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding Shreyas Iyer. Gavaskar says that KKR can still bid for his services. It is noteworthy that under the captaincy of Iyer, KKR had won the IPL title of the year 2024. However, the franchise has not retained him due to disagreement over the amount being retained. KKR has retained Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Varun Chakravarthy, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the IPL 2025 auction, Gavaskar, while discussing with Star Sports, said on the Game Plan show – Last year (IPL 2024) when KKR won, Shreyas Iyer was the captain. As I said earlier for Rishabh Pant, sometimes there can be disagreement regarding fees. Gavaskar further said- However, I also think that after Shreyas Iyer comes in the auction, KKR can also bid for his services. If KKR doesn’t bid, I think Delhi will do it. Gavaskar further said about the star Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was released from Delhi Capitals, that Delhi would like him, because if Rishabh Pant is not in their team, then they will also have to find a captain. So, I think Delhi will definitely try to use the RTM card or bring Rishabh Pant back to their team in the auction.
“He will have to talk to himself”- Ganguly gave special advice to Rahul before the start of BGT.
Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. During the last edition of the tournament, the keeper-batsman had an intense conversation with owner Sanjiv Goenka after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and it is believed that the relationship between them soured after that. Rahul will now try his luck in the mega-auction and former captain Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that he will get a good team that will understand his importance. He said that after the controversy with Goenka, the pressure might have increased on Rahul and said that the player has to talk to himself and then leave everything behind. He also highlighted that every player goes through ups and downs in his career and something similar happened with the 32-year-old. Sourav Ganguly gave important advice to KL Rahul before BGT Ganguly said there is a lot of pressure on Rahul ever since Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction of the cash-rich tournament. “He has to talk to himself,” he said as quoted by RevSportz. He has to talk to himself and say, just leave everything behind. Ups and downs are part of the game. Confidence keeps going up and down. You have to work hard in the nets and get your confidence back.” Ganguly further said, “I know he has gone through a lot. Lucknow Super Giants have released him. I don’t know if they will buy it back in the auction or not. I am sure he will get a good team and he will be able to recover his price in the IPL, but these things put pressure on players.” KL Rahul is currently on Australia tour and is part of the five-match Test series. It is considered certain that he will play in the Perth Test match, because Rohit Sharma is not available yet and Shubman Gill is also injured. In such a situation, he can play in the top order. Ganguly also said that if Rohit is not available then KL Rahul should open and Dhruv Jurel should play in the middle order.
IPL 2025: Aakash Chopra is hopeful, Chennai Super Kings will definitely buy KL Rahul
KL Rahul said after parting ways with LSG, he wants a fresh start. Want to play in a place where they get some freedom. Kl Rahul (Photo Source: Before the IPL 2025 mega auction, Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul. After this, KL Rahul broke his silence on his separation from LSG and said that he wants a fresh start, wants to play at a place where he gets some freedom. He wants to explore new options. Meanwhile, former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has advised Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to bid for KL Rahul. Aakash Chopra believes that Rahul is the right candidate to fill multiple spots in CSK’s lineup, especially as a wicketkeeper-batsman and potential captain. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, what do they want? I think they need Dhoni’s successor, a wicketkeeper-batsman and if they get an Indian then it’s great. Everyone is saying, let me also say – he is more than 30 years old, he is going to become a father. Everyone has also rejected it, so he is right for Chennai, he is KL Rahul. So they will definitely choose KL Rahul. Ashwin will also be on CSK’s target Apart from Rahul, Aakash Chopra hinted that CSK may also target experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Chopra said, CSK has struggled with spin options apart from Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin can bring balance to his attack in his final IPL cycle. There is also speculation about KL Rahul re-joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He is ready to play with any team. Rahul’s ability to adapt to different roles could make him one of the most sought-after players in the auction.
