Anthony Albanese believes that the Boxing Day Test match between IND vs AUS to be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 26 December is going to be great. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gave this statement Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was asked on Fox Sports about the comparison between the Ashes and the Border-Gaskar Trophy, he said, I think now, the population, if you look at IPL, it is a huge part of global cricket. Prime Minister Modi, I went to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the test match and there was a huge crowd there. Of course, more people sit here than any other ground in the world and they are so emotional. We played the final of the International Cricket Series (World Test Championship) in London. And we were successful there, but there is real rivalry in the series and now I would suggest even more. Sometimes it was just a three-Test series. It’s going to be huge on Boxing Day December 26, I think, you know, they can get 100,000 people there and it’s great for Australian tourism as well.
Why is Jasprit Bumrah the world’s number 1 bowler? Former Pakistani veteran enumerated his merits
In the first Test against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah & Wasim Akram (Photo Source: Jasprit Bumrah is currently the world number-1 bowler. He is performing brilliantly for India in all three formats. He won the title of Player of the Tournament by taking 15 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2024. Due to Bumrah’s bowling, the fate of the final match was turned and India defeated South Africa. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Bumrah was recently seen captaining India in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Under his captaincy, India made a great start to the series by defeating Australia by 295 runs in Perth. Bumrah also won the title of Player of the Match by taking 8 wickets. He took 5 wickets for 30 runs in the first innings and 3 wickets for 42 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, recently former Pakistani legendary bowler Wasim Akram told why Bumrah is a world-class bowler? For this reason Jasprit Bumrah is a different bowler Wasim Akram says Bumrah’s unique bowling technique, his extraordinary release point, which is approximately 34 centimeters ahead of the popping crease, is an important factor. He said that most bowlers usually release from within 10 centimeters of the line. And the extra 24 centimeters by Bumrah is an advantage, allowing the ball to accelerate towards the batsman in an almost unpredictable manner. Wasim Akram while talking on Star Sports said, Bumrah’s bowling arm comes from behind (shoulder), which is hyper-extension and finally as we say in Punjabi “tunka” a flick of the wrist which skids the ball, which as a batsman you do not expect. Especially on wickets where the ball stays low, he has troubled the batsmen with an action that is natural and very difficult to get off with a flick of the wrist at the end. No batter is 💯confident when they see #JaspritBumrah rushing at them!#JaspritBumrah‘s wrist action and skidding of the ball makes it unplayable for Aussie batters!#AUSvINDOnStar 👉 2nd Test FRI, 6th DEC, 8 AM only on Star Sports 1 | #ToughestRivalry pic.twitter.com/D59tfKyRIx — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) November 27, 2024 Akram further said that there can be a difference of about 40 centimeters in the release point of Bumrah’s delivery, which makes a huge difference in the pace and trajectory. This causes his balls to skid after being pitched, creating further difficulties for batsmen trying to read his bowling. The release point of Bumrah’s ball is also different by about 40 centimeters and at this speed it makes a huge difference and is the reason why his balls skid after being hit.
BGT: “They are a better team away from home now…”, big statement from Australian legend Ricky Ponting
The second Test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from 6 December. Team India & Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Getty Images) India started the series in great style by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the first innings of the Perth Test, the Indian team had to struggle against the Australian fast bowling attack, the team was reduced to a score of just 150. The team then made a strong comeback in the second innings and gave Australia a target of 534 runs due to the brilliant batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal (161), Virat Kohli (100*) and KL Rahul (77). Due to the brilliant bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj and Harshit Rana, the host team was all out on 238. After India’s victory in the Perth Test, Australian legend Ricky Ponting praised the team and described Yashasvi Jaiswal as a big talent in India. Yashasvi was out on a duck in the first innings, but then compensated in the second innings by scoring a brilliant century. Ponting also said that Team India performs better abroad than at home. Ricky Ponting said this after India’s victory in Perth Test Ricky Ponting while talking on Star Sports said, He (Yashaswi Jaiswal) is not playing his first match, so obviously there is some discussion about him, and he is definitely very skillful. I think we saw that in the second inning this week. He is a huge talent in India, and he is going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was good to get him out cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made up for it in the second innings. So, you have to give them credit. Ponting further said, I didn’t think they would be able to win the first Test, going to India, Perth, in conditions that are so foreign to them. But I also said before the Test match that I think India are a better team away from home now than they are at home. I think they now play better on foreign wickets and conditions than in their own country. And this was proved last week in Perth.
‘Everyone is used to scoring so many centuries’ Sunil Gavaskar on comparing Virat Kohli with tennis greats
Recently, Virat has scored the 30th century of his Test career against Australia. Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, former Indian captain and popularly known as Run Machine Virat Kohli has returned to his old style. Kohli, who was out for just 5 runs in the first innings of the Perth Test match, was seen batting brilliantly in the second innings. Kohli scored the 30th century of his Test career and 81st overall in the match. However, before scoring runs in the first match of this series, Kohli has been in poor form in red ball cricket for some time. Let us tell you that before BGT, when New Zealand whitewashed India 3-0 in the home Test series, Kohli was able to score only 93 runs in that series. On the other hand, now while talking about this brilliant performance of Virat Kohli, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement. Gavaskar has compared Kohli with tennis greats like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic and said that when he does not win the title, people think that he is out of form. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Quoting News 18, Gavaskar said about Kohli – It is like I said in the commentary that Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, they are title winners. If they lose in the semi-finals, people say, oh, they are not in form. But if someone else reaches the semi-finals, you will say – oh, what a great performance. Gavaskar further said – Something similar is with Virat Kohli also, because everyone is used to him scoring so many centuries. When he doesn’t score 100, even if he is scoring 70-80, some people say, look, he is not scoring runs. This is the reason why there is such a feeling among the fans. But Indian fans, they are greedy fans. They want their favorite cricketer to score a century.

On the other hand, former Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell has targeted those who questioned Bumrah’s bowling action.

Greg Chappell gave a big statement Let us tell you that after questions were raised on Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action on social media, in his column written for The Sydney Morning Herald, Chappell said – Yet it was Australia’s batting performance, which was more worrying. India’s bowlers, led by the lethal Jasprit Bumrah, looked faster and more dangerous. By the way, please stop this nonsense of questioning Bumrah’s action. Chappell further said – It is unique, and obviously clean. This is the mark of a champion bowler, who brings out his art during the match. Australia’s top order is a matter of concern. To avoid forced changes in the team, they (Australia) will have to perform in Adelaide. It is noteworthy that the second match of this series will be played in Adelaide from 6th December. This will be a day-night pink ball match. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will also be seen making a comeback in the team in this match.

The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth from 22 November. Team India (Image Credit- Twitter X) The wait of cricket fans is going to end very soon.

However, in this series, the Indian cricket team is going to face Australia after suffering defeat in the three-match home Test series against New Zealand. Before this series, India also had to face defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. So, after such performance, if some media reports are to be believed, BCCI has started discussing with senior players about their future. Apart from this, this series will be the litmus test for head coach Gautam Gambhir, because till now Team India has not been able to perform as expected under the coaching of Gambhir. If Team India’s performance is not good in this series, then the management can also think about Gambhir’s future. Well, due to the absence of some players from Team India in this match, young players may get a chance to debut. It is noteworthy that due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match. Whereas Shubman Gill, who got injured while fielding in the practice session, is out of this match. If sources are to be believed, due to his bowling ability, the management can include Nitish Kumar Reddy in the playing eleven, while due to the help of fast bowlers provided by the pitch, 22 year old young Harshit Rana may also get a chance to play. India’s probable XI against Australia for the first BGT Test Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Mohammed Siraj.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
