BGT 2024: MSK Prasad is also very disappointed after not seeing Cheteshwar Pujara in Team India in the upcoming Test series against Australia.

Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has recently announced Team India for the upcoming 5 match test series. In the list of experienced batsmen, only the names of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are there. Many people were quite surprised to see that experienced player Cheteshwar Pujara has not been included in Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series. Cheteshwar Pujara’s performance in international cricket has always been excellent and even now the great batsman is in his best form. Recently, Cheteshwar Pujara scored his 9th double century in an important Ranji Trophy match against Chhattisgarh. MSK Prasad said, ‘Cheteshwar Pujara recently scored a double century in Ranji Trophy. He also has experience and the strength that Team India needs in Australia would also be provided by Pujara. I think that if he had to select Nitish Reddy, he would have played the young player in at least one match for India A. Cheteshwar Pujara will not be seen playing in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara’s record in Australia has been tremendous. He has scored 993 runs in 11 matches at an average above 47, which includes three centuries and five half-centuries. On the last day of the fourth Test match of the 2020-21 series, Cheteshwar Pujara played a valuable inning of 56 runs at the Gabba in Brisbane, due to which even the Australian bowlers got quite worried. Team India had won this test series by 2-1. Cheteshwar Pujara failed to show a strong performance in the final of the World Test Championship 2023 and after that he was never included in Team India.

So, by winning the second match of this series in Pune by 113 runs, New Zealand has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Test series. This is the first time that New Zealand has won a Test series in India. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 Test series at home since 2012 was also broken.

Team India must have felt that they would easily defeat New Zealand. Basit further said- This means that the Indian management and the Indian players were overconfident. New Zealand did their homework, as they had nothing to lose. No one would have thought that the Kiwi team would be able to defeat India. Even New Zealand themselves might not have thought of something like this, but they did their homework and won the series. On the other hand, if we tell you about this Test series, now the third and last match of the ongoing series between the two teams will be played at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from November 1.

Nasir Hussain gave a big statement praising Pakistan on the test series win against England
Pakistan has recently defeated England 2-1 in the Test series. Nasser Hussain (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England ended. England defeated host Pakistan by 7 wickets on the flat pitch of Multan. But in the two matches that followed, Pakistan performed brilliantly. The hosts won the third T20 match in Rawalpindi by 9 wickets, defeating England 2-1 in the Test series. On the other hand, on this spectacular victory of Pakistan against England, former captain Nasir Hussain has given a big statement praising it. Hussain praised Pakistan’s bold decision to include players like Noman Ali and Sajid Khan after the first Test. He also candidly admitted that England failed to cope with the difficult conditions, which led them off track. Nasir Hussain praised Pakistan Let us tell you that after the end of the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England, Nasir Hussain said in a discussion with Sky Sports – Congratulations to Pakistan for that change. They lost six consecutive tests and the fans and supporters were not happy with the team’s performance. Different pitches and selectors and he found a solution to batchball. They have high quality spinners and they have players who play spin very well. When the ball spins, it has exposed England. When the pitch spins and it holds, England do not play spin or bowl spin like Pakistan. Because the pitches have been very different from the first Test to the second and third Test. There is no doubt that the scores should go down and the spinners should go up. But, the inconsistency in the England team is a matter of concern. It doesn’t have to be so hard that you play so well on flat pitches, and you can cross the line, but as soon as it helps the spinners, it catches you. By not playing well, you lose.

You can just work hard. Whether you do well or not, you try to bring positivity in the team. No matter the outcome of the match, there were individual performances from some players, and there is certainly a lot to be learned from it. You pay attention to that, and notice, Rehan Ahmed and Shoaib Bashir are playing cricket here in front of their families. This is a big thing for them. They are two incredible cricketers who are just starting their careers. So, this is a big deal for them.
