India Australia Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Twitter) The five-match Test series between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is starting from November 22. There is a lot of talk going on in the cricket world right now regarding this series. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding this series. Ponting has named the two players who, according to him, can score the most runs in this series. Ricky Ponting has selected one Indian and one Australian player. In fact, Ponting, while talking in the ICC review, said that the top scorers in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 could be Rishabh Pant and Steve Smith. Rishabh Pant now has the experience of playing in Australia, while Steve Smith is already Australia’s star player and he knows his conditions. Ricky Ponting made a big prediction regarding BGT 2024-25 Ricky Ponting said, “I think Smith, the fact that he has moved back from opening batsman to No. 4 probably makes him feel that he has more to prove. He has to prove that he can give his best at number four. At the same time, with Rishabh Pant coming back into the team and possibly batting in the middle order when the shine and hardness of the ball reduces a bit and the form he is in, I would also pick him as the leading run scorer.” Ricky Ponting has also told who is going to win this series. However, they have already predicted this and are still sticking to the same prediction. Ricky Ponting has said that Australia will win 3-1 in this series played under the World Test Championship. Regarding India’s bowling, Ponting said, “There has been a huge difference in that bowling group because of Mohammed Shami. Even at that time (in August) there was some speculation whether Shami would be fit or not. I think the biggest challenge for India will be to take 20 wickets in every Test match. I think they will bat well here with the current batsmen, but their problem is going to be in bowling.

The form of both the senior players remains a matter of concern for the team before the upcoming Test series against Australia. Meanwhile, former Indian opener K Srikkanth has advised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to spend some time at the crease before scoring runs. Virat will not face any problem with Australian pitches – K Srikanth K Srikanth believes that even though Virat has not played much big innings in the last few matches, he will not be troubled by the bounce provided by the Australian pitches. According to Times of India, K Srikanth said, “The best thing about Virat is his determination and hunger to achieve more. The bounce provided by Australian pitches is not something that should bother Virat. , The former player has asked Rohit Sharma to be more cautious. Recently, Rohit has had to struggle against fast bowlers. In the series against New Zealand, fast bowlers took his wicket four times out of 6. Srikanth also believes that Rohit’s signature pull shot can also become his weakness. The way he was in a hurry to mistime his favorite pull-shot. Even if you are an aggressive opening batsman, it is important to give yourself a little more time in the middle, especially in Australia. In Australia your strength can sometimes become your weakness. Rohit just needs to be a little careful.” India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar IND vs AUS: Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test Series Schedule First Test- 22-26 November, Perth, 7:50 am (Indian time) Second Test- 6-10 December, Adelaide, 9:30 am (Indian time) Third Test- 14-18 December, Brisbane, 9:30 am (Indian time) Fourth Test- 26-30 December, Melbourne, 5:00 am (Indian time) Fifth Test- 3-7 January, Sydney, 5:00 am (Indian time)
I hope Virat and Rohit score maximum runs for India against Australia in BGT 2024: Michael Vaughan

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former England player Michael Vaughan has appealed to Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and experienced batsman Virat Kohli to perform well in the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia and make a valuable contribution to their team’s victory. Let us tell you that, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Recently, Team India played a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. New Zealand won this test series 3-0. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were flops in this series. Apart from Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan, no other player could leave his mark on Team India. However, everyone can be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming series against Australia. The 5-match Test series against Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before this Test series, Michael Vaughan told Fox Cricket that, ‘If India has to win the Test series against Australia, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to score as many runs as possible and perform at their best. I hope to see explosive batting from both these players. However, this thing is not going to be so easy for them because the Australian bowling attack is very difficult and defeating them in their own home is not so easy for any team. If you want to achieve this feat then you will have to improve your technique and play against Australia with a positive mindset. Even though both the batsmen are out of form, they will have to leave their mark once again. Virat is fighting for his form at the moment: Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan further said, ‘Last time when Team India won against Australia, Virat Kohli was not there to chase the target at Gabba. But I am still worried about them. The full toss that the Indian batsman bowled against Mitchell Santner was not Virat Kohli. At present, Virat Kohli is struggling for his form every single minute.

Sitting with every person and telling them what to do or how to correct their mindset is going to be challenging – Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Team India had to face 0-3 defeat in the three-match Test series at home against New Zealand. After 24 years, a team has whitewashed India in their home Test series. The defeat against the Kiwis has changed many things for the Indian team. The team’s place in the World Test Championship final seemed assured. But now the team will have to win all four matches of the upcoming five-match Test series against Australia at any cost to play the final. The team has come to second place in the points table after the defeat against New Zealand. Meanwhile, before the start of Australia tour, a big statement of Indian captain Rohit Sharma has come out.

It is going to be challenging- Rohit Sharma According to Times of India, Rohit Sharma told, We talk a lot about the game, but sitting down with every individual and telling them what to do or how to correct their mentality is going to be challenging. They come with a certain mindset, a certain way of thinking about their game. This has brought them success in the past. But we all understand that Australia is going to be a different ball game. Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are playing for the first time in the Indian team for Australia tour. The Indian captain said that the atmosphere in the dressing room will be easy for the young players, because they will be playing in Australia for the first time. For young players who haven’t been there before, it will be important to create an environment where they are comfortable and not intimidated by where they are playing and who they are playing against. It is important that from our side, we keep telling them that this is another place to play cricket.

BGT has ended the careers of six players including Dhoni, Sehwag, now it’s Rohit and Virat’s turn!
India, who lost their number one crown in the WTC points table to Australia, have won their last two Test tours of Australia. However, in the meantime, the team coached by Gautam Gambhir has repeatedly flopped in batting on its home ground, which has become a cause of great tension for Team India before this Australia tour. India’s experienced batting line-up failed to score runs, which also included flop shows from big players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Rohit scored 91 runs in six innings against the Kiwis, Kohli scored only 93 runs. After the flop of these two batsmen in this series, questions are now being raised about their future in Test cricket. Fans and some experts have even said that the time for his retirement is near, especially if India fails to make it to the upcoming WTC final. Interestingly, if we look at the history of BGT, six Indian legends ended their careers by playing this series. These six players ended their careers by playing Border-Gavaskar The Test career of 6 big players of India has ended with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes the names of former captain MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag. The Test career of these great players came to a complete halt after this series. His last series was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Let us tell you that New Zealand won the three-match Test series against Team India by 3-0. Team India players failed to leave their mark in this Test series. For the hosts, Rishabh Pant was the highest run-scorer in the Test series. He had scored 261 runs in six innings. After this Sarfaraz Khan had scored 171 runs in six innings. Apart from these two batsmen, no other player could bat strongly for Team India in the Test series. Now Team India has to tour Australia in which they have to play a five-match Test series. However, before this Test series, former Australian opener David Warner has given a big statement about the Indian team. According to the former player, if he had been in the Indian team, he would have felt very scared in front of the Australian attack. David Warner told Fox Sports, ‘This will help the Australian players a lot. Team India is touring Australia after a clean sweep against New Zealand. There will be a lot of pressure on him and the Australian team has three world class fast bowlers and one world class spinner. If I had been in Team India, I would have been very nervous. Former player praised New Zealand team fiercely David Warner further said, ‘In the first Test match played in Bengaluru, New Zealand took excellent catches and put their team in a strong position. If you are catching such catches then it is a very good thing. I know very well that it is not so easy to defeat Team India at home but the way New Zealand has played in this series is really amazing. Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22 in Perth. If Team India has to reach the finals of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win almost all the matches against Australia. Talking about Australia, it is not so easy to defeat them in their own home and Team India would also know this very well.

Captain Rohit Sharma came to the defense of head coach Gambhir who is facing criticism, said- he needs more time…
Rohit Sharma was seen defending head coach Gautam Gambhir. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: India has faced a 3-0 defeat in the series against New Zealand on its home soil. Since then, head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the target of fans on social media. Let us tell you that during the entire series, the performance of the team led by Rohit Sharma with the bat was very poor. They could never put pressure on the visiting team. Kane Williamson and Tim Southee were not with the Kiwi team, yet they whitewashed India 3-0 for the first time in a Test series in India. This was India’s second whitewash defeat under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir. Earlier, Sri Lanka had whitewashed India 3-0 in the ODI series. Therefore, questions are being raised on coach Gambhir whether he is suitable or not. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was seen defending coach Gambhir and said that the coaching unit is very new and it is the responsibility of the players to help them settle in well. Captain Rohit Sharma defended head coach Gautam Gambhir Rohit said in the press conference after India’s 25-run defeat in the third Test in Mumbai, they (coaching staff) have been good. He hasn’t got much time. It is the responsibility of the players to also help them get results, to ensure that we are in touch with their thought process. It is too early to judge anything right now. Rohit is still not sure about his availability for the first Test against Australia in Perth. He had informed BCCI a few months ago about the possibility of dropping the first match. Hence, India have included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a back-up opener and he is expected to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal in Rohit’s absence. Rohit said that he is still unsure about his availability.
Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.

Basit Ali shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will have to score runs now. No matter what the pitch.

Let us tell you that in the four innings of the two Tests played against New Zealand, on one hand Rohit Sharma has scored only 62 runs, while on the other hand Virat Kohli has scored 88 runs. Team India should choose a fast bowler in its playing XI: Basit Ali The former player further said, ‘Red soil is ready for New Zealand. People are saying that New Zealand will clean sweep Team India but I do not think so. Team India will give Diwali gift to New Zealand by winning the Mumbai Test. Team India must select a fast bowler in its playing XI in the Mumbai Test. Kuldeep Yadav should also be given a chance. It is very important for Team India to win the third test and they will also have to do their homework properly. After this India will go to Australia to play Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
