Virat Kohli & Dinesh Karthik (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had released Faf du Plessis before the upcoming IPL season and till now the franchise has not even announced the name of the new captain. Now in such a situation, there is only one question in the minds of the fans, there is doubt about who will captain the team in IPL 2025. However, Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Virat Kohli will be the captain of RCB in IPL 2025. Talking about the squad of Royal Challengers Bangalore after the mega auction for IPL 2025, Ashwin said that he has no option other than Virat for captaincy. Just a few days ago, former South African captain AB de Villiers had predicted that Virat Kohli will lead the franchise next year. Virat Kohli left the captaincy of RCB after 2021. R Ashwin made a big prediction regarding Virat Kohli Now R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “There is every possibility that Virat Kohli will captain the team. I feel the same way because they didn’t go for the captain. If he doesn’t go with anyone then I don’t see anyone other than Virat Kohli as captain.” Regarding RCB’s auction, the spinner further said, “I think their auction was very excellent. Many teams had brought crores of rupees in their purse. They were spending fast but RCB waited even after having a lot of money. Who needs it, they’re the ones I need. My entire team is important. My 12 or 14 people are important. Let us tell you that in the mega auction held in Jeddah, RCB bought players like Tim David, Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. Now it remains to be seen which playing XI he will field with in the upcoming season and whether he can get them their first title or not.
“Take out Labuschagne” – Former Australian legend gave a shocking statement before the pink ball test.
Labuschagne had scored two half-centuries in the first Test played against Pakistan this year. However, the world No. 1 batsman in Test cricket has looked out of form since then. He has scored just one half-century in his last 10 innings in the longest format of the game. Labuschagne recorded scores of 2 (52) and 3 (5) in the first Test against India at the Optus Stadium in Perth. He was out LBW in both the innings. Mitchell Johnson gave a shocking statement regarding Marnus Labuschagne Mitchell Johnson wrote in his column in ‘Nightly’, “Marnus Labuschagne has been struggling to score runs for a long time and another player should be fielded in his place in the second Test match in Adelaide. This does not mean that anyone was made a scapegoat for the crushing defeat in the first Test match. Johnson believes that Labuschagne should play domestic cricket to get back in form.
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.
