Bumrah’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.
Gary Kirsten may resign from the post of coach, Pakistan team’s problems increase before the Champions Trophy
According to the report, serious differences have emerged between Gary Kirsten and the players. Gary Kirsten (Photo Source: There has once again been a big earthquake in Pakistan cricket. Actually, a report is coming out in which it is being said that due to differences with the players and the Pakistan Cricket Board, the head coach of the limited overs team, Gary Kirsten may resign from his post. It is expected that Kirsten will not go on Australia and Zimbabwe tour with Pakistan team. Let us tell you, on both these tours to Pakistan, the team has to play three-match ODI as well as T20 series of the same number of matches. Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the squad for the tour of Australia and Zimbabwe on Sunday, October 27 with the new captain Mohammad Rizwan. Just a day after this announcement, the news related to Gary Kirsten’s resignation has surprised everyone. Gary Kirsten has serious differences with players and PCB According to a Cricbuzz report, there are serious differences of opinion between Gary Kirsten and the players, as well as with the PCB over coaching staff decisions. Kirsten reportedly requested the appointment of David Reid as high performance coach, which was not in line with the PCB’s priorities, which led to tension. The board reportedly made alternative proposals, which Kirsten did not like. Gary Kirsten’s tenure with the Pakistan cricket team started in May this year. Even after his arrival, there has been no good improvement in the performance of Pakistan cricket team. The team lost the bilateral series in England, while the team also got eliminated in the group stage in the T20 World Cup held in West Indies and America. Pakistan also had to face defeat from associate team America during this period. There are less than four months left for the ICC Champions Trophy and Pakistan is going to host an international tournament for the first time in more than two decades, so Gary Kirsten’s resignation is a big blow to the Pakistan team and the PCB. Will have to find a head coach for them soon.
IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.
Ranji Trophy 2024-25: Bengal’s problems increase, Wriddhiman Saha may be out of the match against Bihar
Wriddhiman Saha is suffering from back spasms. Wridhiman Saha (Photo Source: X/Twitter) In Ranji Trophy 2024-25, Bengal team is going to play its second match against Bihar from October 18 at Bengal Cricket Academy, Kalyani. The team’s first match was against UP, which ended in a draw but the team managed to earn 3 points, the credit for which goes to the bowlers. Meanwhile, the Bengal team seems to be in trouble before the upcoming match against Bihar. Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha is finding it difficult to play in the second match as he is suffering from back spasms. A source from Bengal Cricket Association gave information A Bengal Cricket Association source told The Telegraph on Wednesday, October 16, Wriddhiman Saha has a little cramp in his back. He did not come on the field even on the last day of the match against UP. If he is not fit for the match, Evelyn Ghosh or Shubham Dey will replace him. If Wriddhiman Saha is not able to recover completely, then Evelyn Ghosh can be seen replacing him in the playing 11 and can also make his debut for Bengal. Hrithik Chatterjee may also be out Spinner Hrithik Chatterjee could not perform anything special in the first match against Uttar Pradesh. He gave 105 runs in 25 overs and did not take any wicket. However, one or two catches were also missed in his bowling. Pradipta Pramanik or Aamir Ghani may get a chance in place of Chatterjee in the match against Bihar. Shadow of rain in Bengal vs Bihar match There is a forecast of rain in the first few days of the match between Bengal and Bihar in Kalyani. Bengal will aim to get full points from this match, as Bihar is not the strongest team in Elite Group-C, at least on paper. At the same time, Bihar had to face defeat against Haryana by one innings and 43 runs in the last match.
There has been an increase in the ticket prices for the WTC Final and India’s Test matches at Lord’s Stadium
The ICC has announced that the final of the upcoming WTC Final (2023-25) will be played at Lord’s ground this time. Lord’s Cricket Ground (Image Credit- Twitter X) There is bad news for cricket lovers who watch test matches at Lord’s Cricket Ground, known as the ‘Home of Cricket’. Marylon Cricket Club (MCC), the organization that operates Lord’s Cricket Ground, has announced an increase in ticket rates for matches to be held at the stadium for the upcoming summer season 2025. So, after the increase in the ticket rates in the stadium, this decision of the organization is being severely criticized, because before this MCC had also increased the ticket rates of the test matches to be held on the ground against Sri Lanka and West Indies. But instead of benefiting from this, MCC suffered a loss because only 9 thousand people came to watch the match against Sri Lanka, which was less than one-third of the total capacity of the ground. However, the MCC has increased the ticket rates for the upcoming WTC final and the match to be held here during India’s tour of England next year. The organization believes that India’s tour after the Ashes series is an important tour, due to which this decision has been taken. There was a jump in the new ticket rates Let us tell you that during India’s tour of England, MCC has fixed the minimum ticket price for the match to be held at Lord’s Cricket Ground at 90 Euros, which is being criticized a lot. At the same time, the price of tickets for the main stands at the ground is between 120 Euros and 175 Euros. Apart from this, MCC has also increased the ticket price for the final match of the ongoing season of the World Test Championship (WTC) here. The price of tickets for the WTC final to be held at Lord’s has been fixed from 70 euros (6530 rupees) to 130 euros (12130 rupees). However, MCC Chief Secretary Guy Lavender has said in a recent statement that the organization is going to re-evaluate the new rates once again. (Note: 1 Euro – 93.32 Indian Rupees)

The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Ruturaj Gaikwad Faf du Plessis & IPL Trophy (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) IPL 2025 Mega Auction: IPL 2024 is currently being played in India in an exciting manner. Meanwhile, discussions have started regarding the mega auction of the next season. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held at the end of the year. Before this mega auction, a big report has come out, actually the franchises want to change the number of players to be retained. BCCI is going to hold a meeting with all the 10 franchises on April 16 regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction. IPL 2025 Mega Auction: Franchises made big demands from the board The last mega auction of IPL took place in 2022, that year the rule was that franchises could retain 4 players. A player could be bought back using the ‘Right to Match’ (RTM) card, which could include a maximum of 3 Indian and 2 foreign players. Before the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, the franchises are demanding to retain 8 players instead of 4. BCCI source while talking to Times of India said, ‘Things are in a very early stage. The board is seeking recommendations to take the league forward. Player retention is a major factor in this. According to informal discussions, most of the franchises are in favor of a rule where they can retain around eight players before the auction. Franchises feel that there is a need for continuity in the team combination, so efforts should be made to retain a large part of the core team. The BCCI source also said that the franchises have also demanded to increase the current purse from Rs 90 crore to Rs 100 crore. Because BCCI now has big media rights. The BCCI source further said, ‘There will be some resistance as some franchises will want a larger pool of players in the auction to rebuild their teams. Everyone must remember that there are 10 teams now and if the number of retentions is increased, there will be a ‘cream pool’. The meeting to be held on April 16 is likely to revolve around these issues.
