Read here: Virat Kohli seen spending quality time with Anushka Sharma and Vamika Irfan Pathan was quoted by Star Sports as saying: “If Ravindra Jadeja is fit, he should be back in India’s playing eleven. R Ashwin did not bowl as well in the first Test as was expected of him in Centurion. India missed Ravindra Jadeja in the first Test, especially his batting at number 7. “Mukesh Kumar should be included in the playing eleven” If our captain Rohit Sharma wants to go into the Cape Town Test with the bowling attack that he played in Centurion, then so be it. But if you want to make changes in your playing 11, then Mukesh Kumar should be included in the playing eleven in place of Prasidh Krishna. But if the captain and the Indian team management have full confidence in Prasidh Krishna in the nets, then you should back him for the second Test.” 7 big pictures of the year 2023 which made headlines 5 bowlers who will take the most wickets in test cricket in the year 2023 5 big cricketers who will retire from international cricket in 2023 5 Indian bowlers who have taken 500 wickets in the fewest innings in international cricket 4 South African opening batsmen who have scored 50+ scores most times in Test cricket Best playing 11 of the year 2023 5 batsmen who have scored the most centuries in test cricket away from home (active players) 5 Indian players who have scored the most runs in Tests against South Africa (Active Players) 6 Indian batsmen who scored centuries in South Africa Top 5 players sold in IPL 2024 auction

Dean Elgar & Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan questioned the team’s strategy against former South African captain Dean Elgar in the opening Test of the two-match series in Centurion. Playing in his last series after announcing his retirement, the 36-year-old blew away India’s bowling with a brilliant inning of 185 runs off 287 balls. His innings gave the host team a huge lead of 163 runs in the first innings. Due to his innings, South Africa had to bat only one innings in the test match. South Africa won the match Winning by an innings and 32 runs, they took a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. While talking to Star Sports after that match, Irfan Pathan said that Dean Elgar is weak against the short pitch ball and he is not able to score runs easily there. But the Indian bowlers could not take that advantage against them. Please bowl short pitch balls to Dean Elgar a little sooner in the next match – Irfan Pathan Pathan said, “Elgar has trouble against short pitch balls. When he was batting at 60-70 runs, you bowled him short balls. In the next match, please bowl them short balls quickly. He was out on short balls 4 times against Australia. I also talked about it in the commentary. You have to bowl very well in the second match to level the series.” Let us tell you that, this was Elgar’s 14th Test century in 85 matches and his second century against India, his batting average in 14 Test matches against India was 43.30. With Temba Bavuma injured, the left-handed batsman will captain South Africa in the second Test starting on January 3 in Cape Town.

IND vs SA: Sunil Gavaskar did not accept Irfan Pathan’s apology, know the whole matter

(Image Source: BCCI No one expected the way Indian batsmen performed in the Centurion Test against South Africa. However, KL Rahul scored a brilliant century in India’s first innings, for which he was praised a lot. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan also reacted to his batting. He discussed about Rahul’s batting strategy. During this, Irfan Pathan was heard apologizing to Sunil Gavaskar on live TV, but Gavaskar did not accept his apology. Actually, KL Rahul played an inning of 101 runs against the host team in the first innings, which included 14 fours and 4 sixes. After this, Irfan Pathan talked about Rahul’s batting technique in that innings. His assessment was so accurate that even Sunil Gavaskar was left speechless. Know what Irfan Pathan said? During the lunch break on the first day, Irfan said, ‘See, first of all in terms of technique, Sunny sir had told how he should play under his head. For a batsman, it is always a matter of discussion whether he is moving his feet forward or backward while playing the ball. In Rahul’s case, he is letting the ball come to him, which is important. But apart from that, a brilliant aspect of his batting was the position of his bat. Pathan further said, the angle of the bat is not in line with his hands, it is a little behind. What this does is you get a little extra time. Otherwise, you will stumble and play the ball on your toes. This is where the possibility of cornering increases. Meanwhile, Irfan said, ‘Sorry sir!’, later Gavaskar said that he is not accepting his apology, because he also got to learn here. What Irfan said about batting technique is also correct. Don’t forget that he has been an all-rounder, so what he thought and said was from a bowler’s perspective. read this also- Father-in-law Shahid Afridi unaware of Shaheen’s injury!
