In this match, Abhimanyu Easwaran batted brilliantly for India B and scored 143* runs in 262 balls with the help of 12 fours and 1 six. He is the only batsman from India B who has troubled the bowlers of India C. The most disappointing thing for India B was that no other player along with captain Abhimanyu Easwaran could stay in this match for long. For the team, opener Narayan Jagadeesan scored 70 runs in 137 balls with the help of eight fours. After the dismissal of Narayan Jagadeesan, wickets of India B kept falling at regular intervals. Mushir Khan failed to score big and was dismissed after scoring one run. Sarfaraz Khan scored 16 runs while Rinku Singh returned to the pavilion after scoring 6 runs. Nitish Reddy was also dismissed on a personal score of two runs. Washington Sundar scored 13 runs while R Sai Kishore was dismissed after scoring 21 runs. Rahul Chahar is still at the batting crease with Abhimanyu Easwaran till the end of the third day’s play. He has scored 18* runs in 31 balls with the help of 1 four and 1 six. So far, Anshul Kamboj has taken 5 wickets for India C while Mayank Markande and Vijaykumar Vyshak have taken 1 wicket each. Abhimanyu Easwaran remains the Lone Warrior for India B In this match, India C scored 525 runs after losing all wickets in their first innings. All the batsmen from the team played their role very well. Now the fourth day of the game is going to be important for both the teams. The most important thing for India B is that captain Abhimanyu Easwaran will have to score as many runs as possible on the fourth day of the game so that he can put pressure on India C and gain control in this match. At the same time, India C team will look to take wickets as soon as possible. Abhimanyu Easwaran’s unbeaten 143 kept India B in the game, but they still trail by 216 runs with the final day left to play in Anantapur 🇮🇳🏏#AbhimanyuEaswaran #DuleepTrophy #Sportskeeda #INDBvINDC pic.twitter.com/SARQuwtUsK — Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) September 14, 2024 India B 309/7 Stumps on Day 3 in First innings.

Smith has not been able to impress as an opener in the last four Test matches Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start between India and Australia. It is worth noting that this time this series is going to start in Australia from 22 November. Along with this, fans are curious to know whether Steve Smith will be seen opening in this series or not? So, recently the team’s head coach Andrew McDonald has made a big statement regarding Smith’s opening batting position in the Australian Test team. McDonald says that he has not yet reached any final decision, but discussions are going on around it. Andrew McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to SEN about Steve Smith’s opening slot in the Australia Test team, Andrew McDonald said – This is the question on everyone’s lips. Although we are keeping an eye on it, we have not taken any concrete decision about it. There is a lot of speculation about it. But it is in discussions, I would be lying if I said there are no talks going on. There is a lot of conversation going on about what will happen in Test cricket in terms of the coming summer. McDonald further said- Obviously, if we make a change with Steve Smith, then someone else will have to go for opening batting. We have seen Cameron Green succeed at number four. There are some layers added to taking such decisions, but at the moment nothing is confirmed and decided. On the other hand, if we talk about Smith’s performance as an opener, in the last four matches he has played, he has scored a total of 171 runs at a modest average of 28.50, which is much less than his career average (56.97). He has been handling this role in the Australian team since David Warner retired.

The team management will decide on the combination but Dhruv Jurel can prove to be very effective in the conditions of Australia. Rohit and Yashasvi will open in your playing XI. Shubman Gill can be seen batting at number 3 and Virat Kohli at number four. After this, KL Rahul will be seen batting at number five and Rishabh Pant at number 6. After this you can include one more batsman in the playing XI. You have Jadeja and Ashwin at number 8 and 9. After this, you can play two fast bowlers at number 10 and number 11. I have seen that batsmen can also be seen practicing bowling in the nets. If you can go with 4 fast bowlers, then you can also bowl some overs part time. I will not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh, Rahul and Dhruv are all included in the playing 11: Deep Dasgupta The former player further said, ‘You would definitely want to see Sarfaraz in the middle order. If we talk about it, Jurel has also batted brilliantly. I would not be surprised at all to see that Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel all three remain in the playing XI. This is a series against Australia and the way the young player has batted so far, he can prove to be a match winner for the Indian team. However, now the team management has to decide whether they play with seven batsmen or six batsmen.’ Batsmen who hit the most sixes for India in the death overs of T20I Batsmen who scored the fastest T20 century for Australia- Mushir Khan broke Sachin Tendulkar’s 33 year old record Wicketkeepers with most Man of the Match awards for India 7 expensive watches of Hardik Pandya and their prices, know here- Virat Kohli has earned more than 8 billion rupees in the last 12 months List…

There was no problem with the pitch but with the players…: Salman Butt gave his opinion on the performance of the Pakistan team after the first Test

(Photo Source: ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) After losing the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, the Pakistan team is being criticized a lot. Let us tell you, in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets. Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan for the first time in a Test match. Now former captain Salman Butt has also given his opinion on this defeat of the host. Let us tell you, in the Rawalpindi Test, Pakistan did not include its important spinner Abrar Ahmed in the playing XI and the team played this match with four fast bowlers. However, their plan did not succeed and Bangladesh’s spinners bowled brilliantly in this match and completely destroyed Pakistan’s batting lineup. Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood has raised questions about the pitch and said that the pitch did not prove to be important for the fast bowlers the way he thought. Now Salman Butt has put forth his point of view on this. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel and said, ‘Where do I start this? You came out to play with four fast bowlers and then you declared your innings. Not only this, you did not bowl with line and length and everything did not go in your favor. According to me, for the first time the average speed of Bangladesh bowlers was more than us. They looked fitter than us. The junior fast bowlers of our team performed better than the seniors. This team has made many mistakes and I don’t know where to start from? We have no idea who we should pick and who we should blame. There was no problem with the pitch: Salman Butt Salman Butt further said, ‘There was no problem with the pitch. The quality of our bowling was very poor. Our bowling coach said that we did not get much turn on the pitch. Not only this, the bowlers also criticized it. This does not make any sense especially when the Pakistan team was all out within two sessions. Their fast bowlers got wickets. Bangladesh’s fast bowlers got the top order out and the spinners played their role quite well in the middle. So it would not be right to blame any one of them. Let us tell you, for the first time Pakistan has lost a Test match at home by 10 wickets. However, the host will look to make a strong comeback in the second Test.

The players had worked a lot on their batting and the young players also showed their magic to the world. However, no one has any idea what is happening there at this time.’ Here is Kevin Pietersen’s tweet: What happened to cricket in Pakistan? When I played the PSL, the standard of that league was tremendous, the players had a very good work ethic and the youngsters on display were magic.
