After a disappointing performance with the bat in the first innings, India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul laid a strong foundation by playing brilliant innings, after which veteran batsman Virat Kohli also managed to score his century. It is worth noting that before the series, there were many questions about Kohli’s form in recent times, but by scoring a century in Perth, he has silenced his critics. Talking about his performance and the criticism he has faced in recent times, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja gave his statement and backed Kohli to perform even better. Ajay Jadeja said, “Doubters can rest in peace…the name says it all. If there were doubters, they can rest in peace. Talents are not born overnight.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Talking about Virat Kohli, this legendary batsman was retained by IPL (Indian Premier League) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 21 crore before the new season of the tournament. Apart from this, Bengaluru also added many players to their squad in the recently concluded IPL mega auction. However, many have come forward and discussed a possible captain for RCB in IPL 2025. Recently, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has expressed his opinion on this and said that RCB has probably made up its mind to choose Virat Kohli as its next captain. Chopra said, “When they have not picked anyone, they have probably made up their mind to go back to Virat Kohli and he will be the captain of this team once again. He also thought that he would not choose anyone who was with him.”
“He has taken 900 wickets in Test matches” – Sunil Gavaskar angry at Bumrah after Jadeja and Ashwin were dropped.

Jasprit Bumrah & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is very angry after seeing the playing XI with which Team India captain has entered in the first match of the series. Washington Sundar has been included as a spin all-rounder in the playing XI for the first Test, while both senior and experienced Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been dropped. After seeing this decision of the team management, Sunil Gavaskar scolded head coach Gautam Gambhir and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah for this decision on live TV. Sunil Gavaskar took Jasprit Bumrah’s class Gavaskar said, ‘It was really surprising that R Ashwin and Jadeja did not play, they have taken 900 wickets in Test matches. He is not a bowler who can play only in Indian or subcontinental conditions. He is a very clever bowler, he is a very experienced bowler. Even if they don’t get you wickets, they will be able to slow down the scoring rate because of the cleverness with which they bowl. Gavaskar further said, ‘I felt that there are very long boundaries on these Australian wickets, so in such a situation you can include both of them in the playing XI. But this is a new management and new thinking. He has gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is a promising player. There is no fault of his in this, but my only question is, is he completely prepared for Test cricket? Former legend, ‘He has not played many first class matches and so clearly, I think, this selection of Nitish is based on expectations and nothing less than that. Like all Indian cricket followers, I hope it is successful. The Indian team won the toss and batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 150 runs.
Neither Jadeja nor Sundar, this spinner will get a chance in Perth Test, increased tension of Kangaroo batsmen
The Indian team can go with only one spinner in the Perth Test. Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins on November 22, where the first of the series will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. A big update has come out regarding this test match. Actually, Team India’s off-spinner R Ashwin may get a chance in the first test match. Why could this happen? We also tell you the reason behind this. In fact, Australia has many left-handed batsmen in its batting line-up and their record against left-arm spinners has been quite good. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are the three big players who are expected to play a key role in the high-voltage five-match Test series. In such a situation, Ashwin can prove effective against him. R Ashwin may get a chance in Perth test match Ashwin’s record is also good against Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Apart from this, he can also trouble the young batsman Nathan McSweeney. This is why Ashwin is expected to get a chance before Sundar and Jadeja. Whereas, if we talk about fast bowling, Mohammad Siraj will be seen with Jasprit Bumrah. The third pacer could be Akash Deep or the famous Krishna. All-rounder Nitish Reddy can be given a chance as the fourth fast bowler, who will provide strength in batting along with pace bowling. However, not giving a chance to Jadeja and Ashwin may weaken Team India’s batting because Jadeja and Sundar can bat better than Ashwin. Let us tell you that the pitches of Australia are not that favorable for spinners. If we take a look at Ashwin’s record in Australia, in 10 Test matches, the Tamil Nadu spinner has taken 39 wickets at an average of 42.15, which is his second lowest average in any particular country. From this you can imagine how difficult it becomes for the spinners to take wickets there.
Ravindra Jadeja created history, became the second Indian bowler to do so
Ravindra Jadeja (Photo Source: Getty Images) Ravindra Jadeja also took five wickets in New Zealand’s second innings, completing a stellar performance by taking 10 wickets (10/120) in the third and final Test of the series at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. This became Jadeja’s second best performance in his Test career, after taking five wickets in New Zealand’s first innings. His best performance came against Australia in Delhi in 2023 where he recorded figures of 10/110. This is the first time in Ravindra Jadeja’s career that Jadeja has taken five wickets in both the innings. His five-wicket haul in the first innings gave India an early lead and his brilliant bowling in the second innings kept the New Zealand lineup under constant pressure. Along with this, he also achieved a special achievement against New Zealand. Let us tell you that Jadeja has become the second Indian bowler to take five wickets in both the innings of the same Test. Before Jadeja, this feat was achieved by R Ashwin. Ashwin achieved this remarkable feat twice. First he achieved this feat against Australia in Chennai (2013), then he achieved this feat against South Africa in Nagpur (2015). With this performance, Jadeja has now joined the special list of Indian bowlers who have taken 10 wickets most number of times in Test cricket. There itself Jadeja is the third highest wicket taker in this WTC cycle. Ashwin is at the first place in the wicket-taking list with 62 wickets, while Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is at the second place with 51 wickets.

However, he expects other players to build small partnerships and take the lead in the first innings. Jadeja said, “As a batting unit, we need a collective effort. Didn’t think like this, miscommunication and misjudgment keep happening. We are 150 runs behind, small partnerships will be our game plan to take the team’s total above 230. He further said that it is always special to get a wicket for India in Tests. Felt good that I helped my team achieve success. It was not easy bowling in the heat, Washington bowled well and everyone played their part.
