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).

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul laid a strong foundation by playing brilliant innings, after which veteran batsman Virat Kohli also managed to score his century. It is worth noting that before the series, there were many questions about Kohli’s form in recent times, but by scoring a century in Perth, he has silenced his critics. Talking about his performance and the criticism he has faced in recent times, former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja gave his statement and backed Kohli to perform even better. Ajay Jadeja said, “Doubters can rest in peace…the name says it all. If there were doubters, they can rest in peace. Talents are not born overnight.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Talking about Virat Kohli, this legendary batsman was retained by IPL (Indian Premier League) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 21 crore before the new season of the tournament. Apart from this, Bengaluru also added many players to their squad in the recently concluded IPL mega auction. However, many have come forward and discussed a possible captain for RCB in IPL 2025. Recently, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has expressed his opinion on this and said that RCB has probably made up its mind to choose Virat Kohli as its next captain. Chopra said, “When they have not picked anyone, they have probably made up their mind to go back to Virat Kohli and he will be the captain of this team once again. He also thought that he would not choose anyone who was with him.”

Meanwhile, the Australian Prime Minister says that the India vs Australia rivalry is bigger than the Ashes series. He said that the five-match Test series has further strengthened the rivalry between India and Australia. Anthony Albanese believes that the Boxing Day Test match between IND vs AUS to be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 26 December is going to be great. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gave this statement Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was asked on Fox Sports about the comparison between the Ashes and the Border-Gaskar Trophy, he said, I think now, the population, if you look at IPL, it is a huge part of global cricket. Prime Minister Modi, I went to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the test match and there was a huge crowd there. Of course, more people sit here than any other ground in the world and they are so emotional. We played the final of the International Cricket Series (World Test Championship) in London. And we were successful there, but there is real rivalry in the series and now I would suggest even more. Sometimes it was just a three-Test series. It’s going to be huge on Boxing Day December 26, I think, you know, they can get 100,000 people there and it’s great for Australian tourism as well.
“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 best in death overs…”, Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the bowling unit of Delhi Capitals.
Aakash Chopra says that Delhi has the best bowling attack in death overs. Mitchell Starc & Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Delhi Capitals had retained Axar Patel (16.50 crore), Kuldeep Yadav (13.25 crore), Tristan Stubbs (10 crore), and Abhishek Porel (4 crore). The franchise had entered the auction with a purse of Rs 73 crore and bought great players like KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Harry Brook, Ashutosh Sharma, T Natarajan and Mohit Sharma. The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals is looking great for the upcoming season of IPL, regarding which cricket commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement. He said that the bowling attack of Gujarat and Mumbai is excellent. But Delhi has the best bowling attack in the death overs. Aakash Chopra said this about the fast bowling of Delhi Capitals Delhi Capitals has bowlers like T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, who have the power to turn the game in the last overs. Aakash Chopra praised Natarajan’s consistency, saying that his figures were among the best among Indian bowlers. On the other hand, Mukesh has become a death-bowling specialist for Delhi. At the same time, the team also has Starc and Mohit Sharma. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, No one has had a better bowler than him for more than 15 to 20 years. If you look at T Natarajan’s numbers and compare them with all the other Indian players, you will find that he is very, very good, and last year was also good. Mukesh Kumar’s stature has increased a lot. He has death bowling for this franchise and has performed very well. They have bought Mitchell Starc, and it has proved to be a big steal. His fees have been reduced by 50 percent compared to last time. This time he had to come in a big auction. As soon as you get into a big auction, your price gets cut in half. They also have Mohit Sharma. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament- Chopra At the same time, due to the presence of Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, the spin bowling of Delhi Capitals is strong. Both the players can prove fatal for the opposing teams in the middle order. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament and interestingly, they did not need an auction because they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. No team has eight overs of this kind of spin and that is why both were retained. He was given a lot of money and asked to stay. On the small ground and flat pitch of Delhi, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a lot of sixes are hit. If you don’t have quality there you get exposed. Quality is the only thing that sets you apart from others, and the two spinners here shine like gold.
“Make Akshar the captain, he is greatly underestimated”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding the captaincy of DC.
Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Delhi Capitals (DC) should appoint Axar Patel as their captain before KL Rahul for IPL 2025. He said that the spin-bowling all-rounder has been a great performer for the franchise and will lead the team well. Delhi Capitals had released their last season’s captain Rishabh Pant before the auction, while retaining Akshar for ₹16.50 crore. They failed to re-acquire Pant but bought Rahul for ₹14 crore. Delhi Capitals should make Akshar Patel the captain – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Who will be the captain? Their situation is like KKR. Could be Akshar Patel. I have no objection to him becoming the captain. If you give me a choice, I would say make Akshar the captain. He is very underrated, very mature, performs brilliantly and will run the team very well. He is a player who will be respected.” Delhi Capitals have included KL Rahul in their camp by paying Rs 14 crore, this is also being said to be the steeliest deal of this auction. On one hand, the bid for Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer has crossed Rs 26 crores, on the other hand, if a team gets a player like KL Rahul for Rs 14 crores, then it would not be wrong to call it the steeliest deal. Chopra further said, “KL Rahul can be another option. The third option could be Faf du Plessis, if they so choose, but they cannot start Faf from the start as they have used the Right to Match (RTM) card for Jake Fraser-McGurk. So I am thinking between Akshar and Rahul, but the management has not given any clarity yet. My vote is in favor of Akshar because his performance on this field has been exceptional.”
BGT 2024-25: ‘Even though Rohit has come, Rahul should play in the top order only’ Pujara’s bold statement before the Adelaide Test
The second match of the BGT series will be played between India and Australia in Adelaide from 6th December. KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team had performed brilliantly in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the first match played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India had won a big victory by 295 runs. India was the first team to defeat Australia for the first time in Test cricket on this ground. So in this match, a brilliant performance was seen by the batsmen of Team India. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal played an innings of 161 runs, while former Indian captain Virat Kohli returned to form and scored the 81st century of his international cricket career. On the other hand, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, experienced wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who came to open the match, was seen batting brilliantly. In the match, he played an innings of 77 runs in 176 balls, and played an important role in giving a strong start to Team India. So now the second match of the BGT series between the two teams will be played at Adelaide Oval from 6th December. However, Rohit Sharma is going to make a comeback from Team India in this match. However, even after this, experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says that even after Rohit is in the playing eleven, Rahul should play in the top order. Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the second match between Australia and India to be held in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – I think, for some reason if we can continue the same batting order like KL. And if Yashasvi opens, then Rohit can come at number three, and Shubman Gill can come at number five. If Rohit wants to open, then KL should bat at number 3. Nothing after this. But I think he (KL Rahul) should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I hope we will not tamper with it.
BGT: “They are a better team away from home now…”, big statement from Australian legend Ricky Ponting
The second Test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from 6 December. Team India & Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Getty Images) India started the series in great style by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the first innings of the Perth Test, the Indian team had to struggle against the Australian fast bowling attack, the team was reduced to a score of just 150. The team then made a strong comeback in the second innings and gave Australia a target of 534 runs due to the brilliant batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal (161), Virat Kohli (100*) and KL Rahul (77). Due to the brilliant bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj and Harshit Rana, the host team was all out on 238. After India’s victory in the Perth Test, Australian legend Ricky Ponting praised the team and described Yashasvi Jaiswal as a big talent in India. Yashasvi was out on a duck in the first innings, but then compensated in the second innings by scoring a brilliant century. Ponting also said that Team India performs better abroad than at home. Ricky Ponting said this after India’s victory in Perth Test Ricky Ponting while talking on Star Sports said, He (Yashaswi Jaiswal) is not playing his first match, so obviously there is some discussion about him, and he is definitely very skillful. I think we saw that in the second inning this week. He is a huge talent in India, and he is going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was good to get him out cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made up for it in the second innings. So, you have to give them credit. Ponting further said, I didn’t think they would be able to win the first Test, going to India, Perth, in conditions that are so foreign to them. But I also said before the Test match that I think India are a better team away from home now than they are at home. I think they now play better on foreign wickets and conditions than in their own country. And this was proved last week in Perth.

Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The first 12 players are looking good. You can even go up to 13 as the team will need backup as well. The team’s backup is not that good. Fitness will also be very important. It is very important to see whether the bowling lineup of Mumbai Indians remains fit or not. If all the players remain fully fit then the team can secure its place in the Final 4. I would be surprised if the team does not make it to the Final 4. To tell the truth, I was quite surprised last season also. It seems that a lot of things did not go well for the team last season but now it has become a whole family. Mumbai Indians team will definitely win at least 5 out of 7 matches in Wankhede: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘It will be very important to see how the team performs at Wankhede because it is their home. Looking at the way the team is setup, it can be said that Mumbai Indians will definitely win 5 out of 7 matches at Wankhede. They can register victory in 6 matches also. Even though the team has less spinners, the fast bowling lineup is quite strong. Mitchell Santner’s role is going to be very important in the upcoming season.

And my confidence is always high (laughs) Let us tell you, before the match against India, Marnus Labuschagne was in dangerous form.
