DTVHINDINeither 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.
BGT 2024-25: ‘No debate, he will have to play’ Sourav Ganguly on R Ashwin playing in Perth Test match
BGT series starting from 22nd November Sourav Ganguly and R Ashwin (Image Credit- Twitter The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series is starting with the first Test match to be held in Perth on 22 November. Optus Stadium pitch curator Isaac McDonald has said that leaving 10 mm of grass on the pitch will provide a lot of pace and bounce. As a result, both sides are expected to field a high number of fast bowlers in their squad to win the match. Keeping this in mind, the role of a traditional spinner in the match becomes minimal. It is understandable that India might stick to Ravindra Jadeja for his all-round abilities in the Perth Test, but former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has advised India head coach Gautam Gambhir not to drop R Ashwin from the playing eleven. Has warned. Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement Before the first Test match to be held in Perth, Sourav Ganguly was quoted by NDTV as saying – There is no debate, Ashwin should play. Your best spinner must play. Specialists play in Test cricket. Also, considering the number of left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, Ashwin is sure to have an impact in the match. Ganguly further said- Yes, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar bat well there, but you should play with your best spinner in the first Test match. My preference is that you play with your specialist batsmen and bowlers, Ashwin is my choice in the match.

“I am also a big reason” – Ashwin blamed himself for the defeat in NZ series
Ashwin (Source X) A few days ago, India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at their own home. Now R Ashwin has given a big statement regarding this defeat and he has also considered himself guilty for this defeat. Although most of the players do not take responsibility for the defeat in such matches, but R Ashwin is one of them, who believes that he was also a major reason behind Team India’s defeat. This was the first time that the Indian team had to face a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. After 12 years, the Indian team lost the Test series at home. R Ashwin could not perform well with ball and bat in all three matches of this series. His performance in just three matches was not of the standard for which he is known. R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding the defeat in NZ series Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel about the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand, “In my career and in my experience in cricket, we have not had a very shattering experience, that is the right word, I felt bad – I didn’t know how to react to this for the last 2-3 days. I am also a big reason, could not contribute lower-order runs, lost wickets at the wrong time.” Ashwin was seen struggling to take wickets in this series. He could take a total of 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. This is rarely seen because Ashwin’s record on Indian pitches has been excellent and he easily takes 9-10 wickets in a match. R Ashwin scored 51 runs as a batsman in 6 innings of the 3-match Test series, in which he did not even open his account in one innings. At the same time, as a bowler he could take only 9 wickets. In the first match, he got only one wicket, whereas in the second match, he was able to take 5 wickets in both the innings. At the same time, even on a rank turner in Mumbai, he could take only 3 wickets. He could not take even a single wicket in the first innings.
IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.
“I will not think too much about Indian spinners” – DK said about Team India’s spinners after the Bengaluru Test.
IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has backed Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to make a comeback in the second Test against New Zealand in Pune after a disappointing performance in the first Test in Bengaluru. In the first test, India could not defend the target of 107 runs and in the end they had to face defeat by 8 wickets. In the Bengaluru Test, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja together took seven wickets, but during this period the economy rate of all three was the biggest cause of concern. In the first innings, Ashwin and Jadeja gave runs at an economy rate between 5-6, while in the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav gave runs at an economy run rate of 8.7. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding the spinners of Team India. Seeing the brutality with which Kiwi batsmen thrashed Team India’s spin attack in Bengaluru, the tension of Team India’s fans seems to be increasing. Whereas former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has given some surprising statements regarding Indian spinners. After Team India’s defeat against New Zealand in Bengaluru, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, ‘I will not think too much about the Indian spinners, it was not a good Test match for them as a unit. Be it Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja. It was good because you want such players to get pinched, because whenever they come back, they come back very strongly. I think the conditions in Pune will be better for these three and you will see Ashwin and Jadeja performing well in Pune. Let us tell you that the second match of the Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from 24th October.
“If Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him” – Ashwin’s surprising statement.
Rohit And Ashwin (Image Credit- Instagram) The time of mega auction for IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 is getting closer. Many big players can participate in this auction. Last year, Mumbai Indians had replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as their captain, seeing this, it is believed that this time Rohit may go in the mega auction. In 2024, Hardik Pandya was made the captain by replacing Rohit Sharma. Amidst all this, it is also being claimed in some reports that, if Rohit comes in the auction, then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) can bid for him. Will RCB be able to buy Rohit Sharma? On this, Indian team off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that this would not be the right option for the franchise because Rohit will be sold at a very high price and there is little possibility of the franchise having much money. R Ashwin made a surprising claim about Rohit Sharma While talking on his YouTube channel, Ravi Ashwin, while answering a fan’s question, said that if Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him. He said, “If you are going for Rohit Sharma then you will have to keep Rs 20 crores. 20 crores went missing there.” RCB franchise already has a player like Virat Kohli, whom it will definitely retain at any cost. To retain Virat, the team will have to pay a maximum of Rs 18 crores. However, if Rohit comes in the auction, he will also have to fight with other teams and in such a situation, Rohit’s price will skyrocket. To buy Rohit, any franchise will have to spend Rs 20 crore or more. Captain Rohit Sharma, who led the Indian team to the T20 World Cup, has been in Mumbai Indians since 2011. He had captained the team since 2013 and had led the team to the title in the very first season. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Mumbai has won the title five times. Last year, when the team made Pandya the captain, Rohit was unhappy with it. There were also reports of rift between Pandya and Rohit in the team.
