Team India will also be surprised that we defeated them. We can beat them 3-0: Tom Blundell Tom Blundell further said, ‘The World Test Championship is also on the line and this will give us a lot of encouragement.

“People give credit to Rishabh Pant but the real hero of 2021 BGT win was Pujara” – Tim Paine’s surprising statement
Cheteshwar Pujara & Tim Paine (Photo Source: Former Australian captain Tim Paine recently opened up about how important Cheteshwar Pujara’s role was in India’s memorable 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy win. Paine said that Pujara played the most important role in that series win but people still give his credit to Rishabh Pant. In the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after suffering a humiliating defeat in Adelaide, India, without their regular captain Virat Kohli and several key senior players, made a spectacular comeback and won the series 2-1. On the 2020-21 Australia tour, Team India won the last Test match of the series, which was played at the Gabba ground, by three wickets, in which Rishabh Pant played the match-winning innings. That innings of Rishabh Pant was recorded in the pages of history. Pant is considered the hero of the 2020-21 Australia vs India Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but former Australian Test captain Tim Paine has a different opinion about it. He believes that because of Cheteshwar Pujara, Team India had captured the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy. The player who won the series for India in the last series was Cheteshwar Pujara – Tim Paine Tim Paine said on the Grade Cricketers podcast, ‘From what I remember, a lot of people talk about Rishabh Pant, in the last series in Australia, but the man who won the series for India was Cheteshwar Pujara. He had demoralized us and our fast bowlers. He was continuously getting the ball hit on his body, but was getting up again and again. It still has its place in Test cricket. Let us tell you that in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pujara may not have scored a century, but he spent a long time at the crease, and tired the Australian bowlers. Pujara had scored 271 runs in the four-match Test series, of which 77 was his best score. Whereas Rishabh Pant had scored 274 runs in the series.

Let us tell you that in the third round of this important tournament, Mumbai team has to play a great match against Tripura. However, Prithvi Shaw has been dropped from the Mumbai team due to having more than 35% body fat. Former player Sunil Gavaskar presented his side regarding this. Sunil Gavaskar said that if he has been dropped due to indiscipline then it is understandable. However, the former India opener also said that the reason behind Prithvi Shaw’s exclusion from the team was his weight and size. Sunil Gavaskar wrote on his Mid Day column, ‘If we talk about domestic matches, defending Ranji Trophy winner Mumbai has dropped Prithvi Shaw from its team. Different reports are coming out regarding him. If it is a matter of indiscipline then I have no problem with it but it has nothing to do with his weight. A report is also coming out that Prithvi Shaw’s body fat is more than 35%. You can also see Sarfaraz Khan: Sunil Gavaskar Giving the example of Sarfaraz Khan, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly and scored 150 runs in the first Test match played in Bengaluru. He also weighs a lot but despite that the young batsman batted the whole day and scored 150 runs. By the way, how many players are there with zero percent or minimum body fat who have scored 379 runs like Prithvi Shaw? I want to ask you this question. I would like to end my talk through fitness. Let us tell you that Prithvi Shaw has always performed well in Indian domestic cricket but he has failed to leave his mark at the international level. The best batsmen may not have been able to perform well in the Indian Premier League 2024, but now they can be seen playing an important role in the 2025 season.

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.
