According to Times of India, K Srikanth said, “The best thing about Virat is his determination and hunger to achieve more. The bounce provided by Australian pitches is not something that should bother Virat. , The former player has asked Rohit Sharma to be more cautious. Recently, Rohit has had to struggle against fast bowlers. In the series against New Zealand, fast bowlers took his wicket four times out of 6. Srikanth also believes that Rohit’s signature pull shot can also become his weakness. The way he was in a hurry to mistime his favorite pull-shot. Even if you are an aggressive opening batsman, it is important to give yourself a little more time in the middle, especially in Australia. In Australia your strength can sometimes become your weakness. Rohit just needs to be a little careful.” India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar IND vs AUS: Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test Series Schedule First Test- 22-26 November, Perth, 7:50 am (Indian time) Second Test- 6-10 December, Adelaide, 9:30 am (Indian time) Third Test- 14-18 December, Brisbane, 9:30 am (Indian time) Fourth Test- 26-30 December, Melbourne, 5:00 am (Indian time) Fifth Test- 3-7 January, Sydney, 5:00 am (Indian time)

Let us tell you that, 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 the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Recently, Team India played a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. New Zealand won this test series 3-0. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were flops in this series. Apart from Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan, no other player could leave his mark on Team India. However, everyone can be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming series against Australia. The 5-match Test series against Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before this Test series, Michael Vaughan told Fox Cricket that, ‘If India has to win the Test series against Australia, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to score as many runs as possible and perform at their best. I hope to see explosive batting from both these players. However, this thing is not going to be so easy for them because the Australian bowling attack is very difficult and defeating them in their own home is not so easy for any team. If you want to achieve this feat then you will have to improve your technique and play against Australia with a positive mindset. Even though both the batsmen are out of form, they will have to leave their mark once again. Virat is fighting for his form at the moment: Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan further said, ‘Last time when Team India won against Australia, Virat Kohli was not there to chase the target at Gabba. But I am still worried about them. The full toss that the Indian batsman bowled against Mitchell Santner was not Virat Kohli. At present, Virat Kohli is struggling for his form every single minute.

During the match, India A was accused of ball tampering. According to officials, Indian players had tampered with the ball and changed its shape to create pressure against Australia. Cricket Australia then confirmed that they had no evidence that the ball had been tampered with. Meanwhile, former legendary player David Warner praised the Australia Cricket Board. The board resolved the issue as quickly as possible, he said. Umpires or match referees should stand here and answer questions – David Warner David Warner said that if the umpires feel something has happened then follow-up should be done. He also stressed that umpires and match referees should answer all the questions. Warner, while speaking to reporters after becoming the captain of Sydney Thunder, said, I think the final decision lies with CA, right? They resolved this matter as quickly as possible because India is coming here in this summer season. But if the umpires feel that something has happened, I am sure it will be followed up. Umpires or match referees should stand here and answer questions. I think the match referee should come out and talk to his staff, who are the umpires, and if they are adamant on decisions, you have to stand up to it. This is clearly a statement that Cricket Australia needs to issue. Let us tell you, Indian players were not happy with the decision to change the ball. A spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald that the ball was replaced in the fourth innings of the match due to damage. The captains and managers of both teams were informed of the decision before the start of the game and no further action is being taken.

‘I haven’t seen Virat like him since the 2018 series’, Marnus Labuschagne on Kohli’s poor form

To reach the WTC final, Team India will have to win the BGT series 4-0. Marnus Labuschagne and Virat Kohli Virat Kohli is performing poorly with the bat at the moment. He is struggling to score runs continuously. He has not scored a century in Tests since the West Indies tour in 2023. Even in the recent Bangladesh and New Zealand series, he could not do anything special. He could score only 93 runs in the three-Test series against New Zealand. In the New Zealand series, all the Indian batsmen were seen struggling against spin. Kohli was also struggling to counter the spin. Indian veterans have also given him suggestions and advice on his poor batting. Meanwhile, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne recalled Kohli’s performance in 2018. He also said that the batsmen are missing the same performance. Labuschagne told Star Sports, my first memory of Virat from a sporting perspective was probably the 2018 series. He was the captain at that time and I think he was very intense. When I watched the series, it was a very intense series. I probably haven’t seen Virat like that after that series. He has been doing well for a long time, but this is my first memory. BGT will have to win 4-0 to reach WTC finals It is noteworthy that after the defeat at the hands of New Zealand on home soil, the Indian team is going to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. India has never lost a BGT series since 2016–17. They have won the series on both occasions since 2016. The BGT 2024-25 series is very important for India, because to reach the World Test Championship final, Team India will have to win this series 4-0. That means it is very important to win at least 4 out of five matches. Currently, Australia is on top in the WTC points table followed by India at second place.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has called Rahul Dravid a better coach than Gautam Gambhir. Basit said that Rahul Dravid was a smart coach who knew what kind of pitch India needed to prepare to win on home soil. In the video shared on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said that Rahul Dravid’s mind is better than Gautam Gambhir. Dravid made pitches for four days where the ball took turn in the last few days. Now you are making such pitches, where even a person who is not a regular spinner is getting a lot from the first day. Dravid knew the psychology of players – Basit Ali Basit Ali also said that Rahul Dravid was a good coach. He knew the psychology of the players. If you ask Virat Kohli to play T10 and T20 in Test cricket, then it is not fair in any way. Let us tell you that Gambhir’s tenure as India’s head coach has had a disappointing start. Under his leadership, the Indian team lost its bilateral series against Sri Lanka in 27 years. After the New Zealand series, Team India will now tour Australia for the Border-Gavaskar series in November. India needs to win this series 4-0 to make it to the World Test Championship final.
