They face South Africa in the second Test today on Wednesday, January 03 at Newlands, Cape Town. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a defeat by an innings and 32 runs in the opening game in Centurion and are now looking for a win to level the series. Let us tell you that India is the number one ranked Test team with 118 rating. However, they have failed to win consecutive World Test Championship finals. Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Group is also not very happy with India’s Test performance and has called them an ‘overrated team’. He believes that when Virat was the captain, the team was doing well in Test cricket for 2-3 years. K Srikanth called India an overrated team in Test and T-20. Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “We are overrated in Test cricket. I think it was the 2-3 year phase…when Virat Kohli was the captain of the team, we were excellent. We dominated in England, we fought hard in South Africa, we won in Australia. We had a good phase for 2-4 years.” Srikanth further said, ‘We have to forget the ICC rankings. We’re always number 1-2, 1-2. It is a mix of overrated cricketers and cricketers who have not performed to their potential. Or some players like Kuldeep (Yadav) who have not got enough opportunities. If you want to be the best team, you must be able to become a giant on home grounds. This is what we did when Rishabh Pant was firing. Talking about India’s performance in limited overs cricket, the former cricketer said that ‘India is more overrated in T20 cricket. ODI cricket, we are a great team. What happens in the semi-finals and finals in ODI is a one-time match. It is a factor of luck, a lot depends on luck in these matches.

Many former and current cricketers have criticized Cricket South Africa for preferring SA20 over Test cricket. Regarding this, Chopra has said that the Test cricketer is now in ICU and has been kept on ventilator.

Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement regarding test format In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Test cricket is currently in the ICU and has been put on a ventilator. First of all, there are a handful of teams playing Test cricket and even among them there are only three teams left that can afford to play Test cricket. South Africa announced its B team against New Zealand. The reason is that SA20 is about to start, it is their domestic T20 tournament.” Aakash Chopra further said, “Two Test matches of the WTC cycle have come this time. He said let’s leave the Test match and they will play in SA20, from (Aiden) Markram to (Kagiso) Rabada, everyone should be available there (SA20) and the rest of the kids can play Test cricket.” Aakash Chopra was surprised to see that Pakistan decided to give Shaheen Afridi a break after losing the first two matches of the series. The former Delhi batsman said that it had never happened that any Asian country had dropped its leading bowler from the team in Australia. I am seeing this for the first time.

Aakash Chopra said that, “The news from South Africa is that Temba Bavuma is not there. This is Dean Elgar’s last test match and he is going to play as a captain. He also said that forget about runs, his eyes are on the trophy. So he will be very excited about it.” The former opening batsman further said, “I still feel that the South African batting is weak. If you remove Dean Elgar, it seems that batting is very normal, but it is very difficult to remove Dean Elgar, he does not get out that easily.” Aakash Chopra believes that if India has to win the second Test match, the batsmen will have to perform well here. He said, “I still think that if India has to do well, they need to bat well. He will have to play five seasons. The truth is that South Africa batted a little more in one innings, while India batted completely in two innings.”
Sanjay Manjrekar wants to see this bowler playing in the second test in place of Prasidh Krishna
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has demanded the inclusion of fast bowler Mukesh Kumar in the Indian team in the second Test match against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Mukesh, who made his Test debut last year against West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, managed to take one wicket there. Manjrekar advised not to include Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna together in the playing XI and also stressed on making a balanced combination. Highlighting Mukesh’s ability to adapt to challenging situations and suggesting strategic changes. 58-year-old Manjrekar said that fast bowler Mukesh Kumar can prove to be important for Team India in the upcoming match. Mukesh Kumar should get a chance in the second test match- Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “From what we have seen in the first Test, I do not expect Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna to play together in the second Test. There will definitely be a change, if Ravindra Jadeja is fit then it will strengthen our batting. So, if Mukesh Kumar is bowling well in the nets, he can be brought in. He is more suitable for these circumstances.” India are trailing 0-1 in the series after an innings defeat in the opening Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Manjrekar suggested that, despite the failure in the first Test, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid could be seen supporting Yashasvi Jaiswal. Expressing hope of a better pitch in Cape Town, this experienced player has expressed hope of an exciting match in the upcoming match. Sanjay Manjrekar further said, “Since it is a two-match series, you are sometimes forced to make some changes. However, I do not think India will make any major changes in their batting lineup. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid must have seen how Yashasvi Jaiswal played and they will continue to support him. When it comes to batting you can’t change things with selection. You can just hope that the pitch is a little easier to bat on.” Also read: David Warner’s baggy green cap not found, forced to play Sydney Test without it

Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, he reached the number 1 ranking in Test cricket. His fitness was excellent. He performed well in every match and made the team perform brilliantly in every match. Rohit Sharma also made the team perform amazingly. Saw in the World Cup and he won the Asia Cup but who after Rohit Sharma?” Irfan further said that this year India will also have to focus on building a good fast bowling unit.
