Jurel told Star Sports, ‘Virender Sehwag! My family watched him carefully in the beginning. AB de Villiers because he has a lot of shots and Mahendra Singh Dhoni because he is of calm nature. Aggressive game of Virat Kohli and excellent shots of Rohit Sharma. I have learned a lot from many cricketers. I remember we used to set our alarm whenever there were matches in Australia, New Zealand or England. This is because the time here and there is quite different. I was always excited and now I am here. I hope that I also get a chance to play and I am fully prepared to perform well. It is absolutely true that this is a very difficult tour: Dhruv Jurel The young player further said, ‘There is no doubt that this is a very difficult tour, especially after the last series. We are all very excited and there is a lot of enthusiasm within everyone. All the players are fully prepared to give their 100 percent. We are also looking carefully at the upcoming challenge and I am confident that we will perform well in it. The upcoming test series is very important for Team India. This is also because if the team has to secure its place in the finals of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then they will have to perform well and win at least four Tests.

Shardul Thakur (Photo Source: Twitter) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia and India is starting from November 22. The first test match between these two teams will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth. Before the upcoming 5-match Test series, former player Harbhajan Singh has raised questions on the squad of Team India. Harbhajan Singh raised the question as to why brilliant all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been dropped from Team India for the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Let us tell you that in Team India’s squad, there is only Nitish Kumar Reddy as a fast bowling all-rounder and Harbhajan Singh presented his side regarding this. The former player said on Jatin Sapru’s official YouTube channel, ‘You need an all-rounder like Hardik Pandya. Apart from Nitish Kumar Reddy, you have no other option. Where is Shardul Thakur? Where is Hardik Pandya? We are seeing both these players playing only in shorter formats. You need a player like Hardik. In the last two to three years we were investing on Thakur but where is he now? If Nitish Kumar gets one or two wickets, it will be a bonus: Harbhajan Singh Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘You are absolutely asking Nitish Kumar Reddy to bowl in this tour. He can bowl a few overs here like Sourav Ganguly used to do and if the youngster gets one or two wickets, it will be a bonus. Let us tell you that Nitish Kumar Reddy has not played a single match in international Test cricket yet. The upcoming test series will be very challenging for him. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win at least four matches in the upcoming series.

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Know what is snake crack? Which the Perth pitch curator did not expect amid heavy rain
The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium, Perth from 22 November. Perth (Image Credit- Twitter X) Snake cracks in the pitch are a common thing in Perth, Australia. Because of this, the bowlers get a lot of pace and bounce in the old cricket ground located at WACA, Perth. So, the new stadium recently completed at Optus Stadium in Perth is also of this type. The bowlers will also get to see pace and bounce from this pitch, and as the game progresses, the snake cracks on the pitch will open up further. Because of this, spinners can play an important role. Because sometimes these cracks can open up to the extent of 5 mm and batting in this situation is not at all easy. However, preparations for the new pitch that has been completed at the Optus Stadium have been hampered by continuous rain. The pitch had been covered for a long time and this has forced pitch curator Issac McDonald to adapt to the conditions. But despite this, he feels that there will be an equal competition between ball and bat in the first test match of BGT starting from November 22 in Perth. He also said that the pitch is expected to be bad, but big snake cracks are not expected, which troubles the batsmen a lot. Issac McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the first match of BGT starting in Perth, Issac McDonald was quoted by Business Standard as saying – This (Snake Crack) is based on a lot of conditions. At the moment, we are leaning towards rolling it a little more over the top for a pleasant even collision between bat and ball. It would be good for the pitch if the sun comes out. But really the curating team is spontaneous. I don’t think this weather will spoil the pitch, but there will be some deterioration in the pitch. But with big snake cracks like the ones at the Waka, I don’t think the weather will take us there.
BGT 2024-25: ‘At least you should have called fast bowler captain’ Jasprit Bumrah on being called a medium pace bowler by the reporter
Bumrah is continuously playing the role of vice-captain in test cricket. Jasprit Bumrah (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team is going to face Australia on November 22 in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match due to personal reasons, as he is currently present in Mumbai due to the birth of his second child. He will join the team before the second Test to be held in Adelaide. So in the absence of Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the team. Bumrah is currently playing the role of vice-captain in Test cricket. This will be the second time when Bumrah will be seen captaining the Indian team in the biggest format of the game. Before this, Bumrah has captained in the rescheduled Test match against England in the year 2022. On the other hand, in the pre-match conference held before the first match of BGT to be held in Perth, captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen correcting a reporter who mistakenly called him a medium pace fast bowler. Here is Bumrah’s amazing moment in the press conference. Question – How does it feel to captain India as a medium pace all-rounder? Jasprit Bumrah – Man, I can bowl at a speed of 150 kmph, at least you fast bowler captain says so (laughs) I am one of the supporters of fast bowling captains: Bumrah On the other hand, in this conference, Jasprit Bumrah has been seen supporting the fast bowling captains in Test cricket. So in the past, Bumrah has been seen many times being vocal about taking command of the Indian team. Bumrah further said- I have been one of the supporters, there are many such examples, fast bowlers are smart. Pat Cummins has been successful, Kapil Dev did it before, hopefully this is the start of a new approach.

Not only this, he will have to teach a lot to his captain for the coming three to five years. Rajat Patidar is one of the few players who can play this role very well. Royal Challengers Bangalore may come back to Mohammed Siraj: Saba Karim Former player Saba Karim believes that RCB can include Mohammad Siraj and English all-rounder Will Jacques in their team again. Talking about Mohammed Siraj, he has always performed very well for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Talking about Will Jacques, he also played an important role for RCB in IPL 2024 not only with batting but also with bowling. Saba Karim said, ‘RCB can come back to Siraj as he has given explosive performances for this franchise. The best thing for the Bengaluru franchise is that they have Yash Dayal but they also need a good company. If RCB takes Siraj back in their team then their fast bowling attack will be complete. Apart from Siraj, I also have my eyes on Will Jacques. His last season was also very good. He can bat explosively in the top order and can also play his role as a spinner very well.

According to The Times of India, Suresh Raina said, ‘We should see this as an opportunity. If we look at Australian players, they are getting a lot of money and this is not seen with Indian players. He is an excellent captain of Delhi Capitals, a brilliant batsman and a strong wicketkeeper. I feel that there will definitely be a bid of Rs 25 to 30 crores for him. Rishabh Pant is a brand. All franchises will definitely have their eyes on Rishabh Pant: Suresh Raina The former player further said, ‘Rishabh has the ability to win the cup anywhere. He tried in Delhi but nothing happened. Same thing was seen with KL Rahul whereas Shreyas Iyer won the cup for Kolkata but he was not retained by the franchise. Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, Delhi and Lucknow are the four teams who want to include such an Indian captain in their team. Chennai also has to form a team but they have Rs 55 crore left in their purse. If they spend Rs 25 to 30 crore on one player, they will have to complete the team with at least 18 players.
