In the team that Cricket Australia has selected for this BGT series, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood are the players who were last involved in Australia’s Test series win against India. Meanwhile, senior players in the team, Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne are yet to taste victory against India. However, in recent times the Australian cricket team has achieved a lot of success in world cricket. The Kangaroo team has won big tournaments like T20 World Cup 2021, World Test Championship and Cricket World Cup 2023. But it has not been able to win the Test series against India yet. India has been successful in winning the last three Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series, Team India has defeated Australia twice in this series in Australia. Pat Cummins gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the BGT series at home against India, Pat Cummins was quoted by Western Australian as saying – This (Test series win against India) is one of the last things for many of us. In the last few years, we have moved forward and performed well in almost every challenge that came before us. Doing this for another year, another home summer, will kind of cement it. Instead of just being a two or three season thing, it’s suddenly become a half-decade thing. Cummins further said – This has been the situation for the last two or three years. The coming week is very normal. It’s all very comfortable, everyone knows how to prepare them. One of the strengths of our team is not only consistency, but how well everyone gets along and how much we love playing together.

Jurel told Star Sports, ‘Virender Sehwag! My family watched him carefully in the beginning. AB de Villiers because he has a lot of shots and Mahendra Singh Dhoni because he is of calm nature. Aggressive game of Virat Kohli and excellent shots of Rohit Sharma. I have learned a lot from many cricketers. I remember we used to set our alarm whenever there were matches in Australia, New Zealand or England. This is because the time here and there is quite different. I was always excited and now I am here. I hope that I also get a chance to play and I am fully prepared to perform well. It is absolutely true that this is a very difficult tour: Dhruv Jurel The young player further said, ‘There is no doubt that this is a very difficult tour, especially after the last series.

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Know what is snake crack? Which the Perth pitch curator did not expect amid heavy rain
The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium, Perth from 22 November. Perth (Image Credit- Twitter X) Snake cracks in the pitch are a common thing in Perth, Australia. Because of this, the bowlers get a lot of pace and bounce in the old cricket ground located at WACA, Perth. So, the new stadium recently completed at Optus Stadium in Perth is also of this type. The bowlers will also get to see pace and bounce from this pitch, and as the game progresses, the snake cracks on the pitch will open up further. Because of this, spinners can play an important role. Because sometimes these cracks can open up to the extent of 5 mm and batting in this situation is not at all easy. However, preparations for the new pitch that has been completed at the Optus Stadium have been hampered by continuous rain. The pitch had been covered for a long time and this has forced pitch curator Issac McDonald to adapt to the conditions. But despite this, he feels that there will be an equal competition between ball and bat in the first test match of BGT starting from November 22 in Perth. He also said that the pitch is expected to be bad, but big snake cracks are not expected, which troubles the batsmen a lot. Issac McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the first match of BGT starting in Perth, Issac McDonald was quoted by Business Standard as saying – This (Snake Crack) is based on a lot of conditions. At the moment, we are leaning towards rolling it a little more over the top for a pleasant even collision between bat and ball. It would be good for the pitch if the sun comes out. But really the curating team is spontaneous. I don’t think this weather will spoil the pitch, but there will be some deterioration in the pitch. But with big snake cracks like the ones at the Waka, I don’t think the weather will take us there.
BGT 2024-25: ‘At least you should have called fast bowler captain’ Jasprit Bumrah on being called a medium pace bowler by the reporter
Bumrah is continuously playing the role of vice-captain in test cricket. Jasprit Bumrah (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team is going to face Australia on November 22 in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match due to personal reasons, as he is currently present in Mumbai due to the birth of his second child. He will join the team before the second Test to be held in Adelaide. So in the absence of Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the team. Bumrah is currently playing the role of vice-captain in Test cricket. This will be the second time when Bumrah will be seen captaining the Indian team in the biggest format of the game. Before this, Bumrah has captained in the rescheduled Test match against England in the year 2022. On the other hand, in the pre-match conference held before the first match of BGT to be held in Perth, captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen correcting a reporter who mistakenly called him a medium pace fast bowler. Here is Bumrah’s amazing moment in the press conference. Question – How does it feel to captain India as a medium pace all-rounder? Jasprit Bumrah – Man, I can bowl at a speed of 150 kmph, at least you fast bowler captain says so (laughs) I am one of the supporters of fast bowling captains: Bumrah On the other hand, in this conference, Jasprit Bumrah has been seen supporting the fast bowling captains in Test cricket. So in the past, Bumrah has been seen many times being vocal about taking command of the Indian team. Bumrah further said- I have been one of the supporters, there are many such examples, fast bowlers are smart. Pat Cummins has been successful, Kapil Dev did it before, hopefully this is the start of a new approach.
‘He starts his average from zero’ Matthew Hayden ignores Virat Kohli’s recent Test form
Virat was able to score only 93 runs in 6 innings against New Zealand. Matthew Hayden and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has given a big statement about former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Ignoring Kohli’s recent Test form, Hayden has said that he is going to perform well in the BGT series. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Kohli’s bat seems to be calm in the biggest format of the game. In the last 12 innings played in Test cricket, Kohli has scored a total of 250 runs at a modest average of 22.72. However, if Team India has to do better in the first match in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma, then Kohli will have to come forward and perform. He starts his average from zero: Matthew Hayden Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Cricket Australia before the start of BGT, Hayden said – Naturally, there should be the hunger that Virat always brings in any kind of competition, and in the history of Test match cricket, it should be more than this. There is no one bigger. He is in the team that has dominated Australia on its own soil for almost a decade. This is an important factor for the place where he has worked really hard. A lot of his impact on the game can be seen not only with the bat in his hand, but also in his confidence in the competition and his fitness level. Hayden further said- So Virat has a lot to play for. Unfortunately, he has not been able to continue his excellent form in recent times. But this season is new and he starts his average from zero. We all know that he is capable of averaging over 50. He is the second greatest player in his country after Sachin Tendulkar. So, I wish him all the best.
