Jasprit Bumrah (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test played in Perth, India recovered from a bad start and defeated Australia by 295 runs. Bumrah took 8 wickets in both the innings of that Test match and for this he was chosen Player of the Match. In the match, India achieved a spectacular victory within four days and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After seeing the brilliant bowling in that match, former England cricket team fast bowler Steven Finn has praised Jasprit Bumrah’s performance in the first Test match against Australia. Finn praised him a lot and even said that he is the best player in the world. Speaking with former England captain Alastair Cook on TNT Sports, Steven Finn said, “Jaiswal scored a brilliant 161, but he is the player I like to watch. That is Jasprit Bumrah. I think he really is the best player in the world. Honestly, sometimes I think bowling like him is a joke! You see him bowling and you just think, I’m glad I don’t have to come out to bat.” He further said, “I was surprised that India went there (Australia) and defeated Australia, where usually it is very difficult to go and play cricket. Perth, I know it’s not the WACA; I know it’s a new stadium, but still, historically, Australia hasn’t lost many matches there. I thought India performed very bravely there.” Let us tell you that, Bumrah now has 118 wickets in 27 Test matches in SENA countries at an impressive average of 22.55, which also includes his career best performance (6/33). During this period, he has taken five wicket hauls 7 times, which is equal to Kapil Dev. They are followed by BS Chandrashekhar and Zaheer Khan (six each), and Bishan Singh Bedi and Anil Kumble (five each).
“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.
The host is the culprit behind India’s Champion Trophy 2025 tour to Pakistan, former player gives shocking statement
The former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Team India will not tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025 and this decision has been taken by the Indian government. According to Aakash Chopra, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has no role in this. Not only this, the former player also said that Pakistan should be blamed for this decision of the Indian government. Let us tell you that Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in February next year. According to the report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made it clear to the International Cricket Council that they will not tour Pakistan to participate in the upcoming event. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It has been decided that Team India will not go to Pakistan for the upcoming tournament and this is not the decision of BCCI. I want to make it clear that when it comes to Pakistan, the Indian cricket team does not decide when and where to go. It is fine for other places. However, when it comes to Pakistan, all decisions are taken by the Indian government, not the BCCI. Pakistan itself is to blame for this: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘The Indian government has decided that he will not go there. In a way, Pakistan itself is responsible for this. Just yesterday I was watching a news that there was a bomb blast in Quetta railway station. Whenever we talk about India, Pakistan comes into it, especially when the issue of Kashmir is concerned. Pakistan has completely refused the hybrid model of Championship 2025. They want that this entire tournament should be organized in Pakistan only and India does not want to tour there for this event. This is the truth and now it will be exciting to see how this tournament is organized.

South Africa series will be do or die for Abhishek Sharma, former cricketer gave a shocking statement
Abhishek Sharma will open the innings with Sanju Samson in the South Africa series. ABHISHEK SHARMA (Image Credit- Twitter X) After his brilliant performance in IPL 2024, the doors of the Indian team opened for Abhishek Sharma and he made his debut in the Zimbabwe series. After this Abhishek did not look back. So far this young player has played 8 T20I matches and scored 159 runs. He played some good innings in the recently concluded Emerging Asia Cup, but not such that he could not come into the limelight. It is noteworthy that due to Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be able to play in the T20 series against South Africa. Therefore, in his absence, Abhishek Sharma will open the innings with Sanju Samson. Meanwhile, while talking about the team combination, Aakash Chopra said that Abhishek Sharma is still yet to make his mark in international cricket. He also says that the upcoming series against South Africa could prove to be “do or die” for Abhishek Sharma, as Jaiswal and Gill will be available for the next T20 series against England. In such a situation, if he fails against South Africa, he will be out of the team. It’s do or die time for Abhishek Sharma – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, I think India has two or three big questions. There will be pressure on Abhishek Sharma and some pressure will also be on Sanju Samson. However, Sanju had scored a century in the last match. Therefore I would not say that there is any pressure on Sanju. He further said that, however, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will be back, so whenever you get a chance to open, you should score a lot of runs. So it is important for them. This is do or die time for Abhishek Sharma, because after this when England T20 series will be played at home ground, if you do not score runs here then you will definitely be dropped. Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had scored a century against Zimbabwe at the beginning of the year, but since then he has been struggling with the bat. In the last four matches he has scored only 49 runs.

Shocking statement of Shan Masood, this 24 year old Pakistani player is better than Virat Kohli
The 3-match Test series between Pakistan and England is going to start in Multan from 7th October. Shan Masood (Photo Source: Getty Images) There is a lot of turmoil in Pakistan cricket at the moment. Recently, they had lost in the Test series against Bangladesh, after which questions were raised on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given such a statement which has made him the target of many people. Pakistan cricket team is ready to play test series against England at home. This 3-match test series will start from October 7 in Multan. Meanwhile, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood has given a big statement which many people are not liking. Actually, Shan Masood has spoken too much in praise of Pakistan’s opening batsman Abdullah Shafiq. He has described this 24 year old batsman as better than Virat Kohli. Shan Masood, in response to a question citing the comparison of statistics between Virat Kohli and Abdullah Shafiq, said that the Pakistan opener’s statistics in Test cricket are better than the star Indian batsman’s initial years. Pakistan Test team has been announced for the first Test of the series against England. Masood has been retained as the captain of the team while fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has returned to the team. Shaheen Afridi gave strange statement regarding Virat Kohli Shaheen did not get a place in the second and final Test against Bangladesh. Quoting Sportskeeda, journalists asked Shan Masood whether it is Abdullah Shafiq or Sam Ayub, the same type of players are playing T20 and Test. In response to this, the captain replied that he does not think your question is correct… He agrees that Pakistan has not played good cricket in 2024 but it is wrong to mix and compare Test performance with T20. He further said that things should be looked at objectively. You talk about statistics. The other day he kept looking at the record that Abdullah Shafiq, who has played 19 Tests, has a better record than Virat Kohli. There is no doubt that Shafiq’s figures in the first 19 Test matches may be better than Kohli’s, but this statement of Shan Masood has started a new kind of debate. Let us tell you that in the first 19 Test matches, Virat Kohli had scored 1178 runs in 32 innings at an average of 40.62, whereas Shafiq had scored 1372 runs in 36 innings of 19 matches at an average of 40.35.
“Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere, he will remain in DC”- Shocking claim by former Indian cricketer
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it. He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.
