So far, two Tests have been played between these two teams and New Zealand has won both of them. Team India’s performance so far in this Test series has been very poor. Now the third and final Test between these two teams is starting from November 1 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Let us tell you that after a long gap of 12 years, Team India has suffered defeat in the Test series at home. Team India had earlier lost the Test series at home in 2012. Before the start of the third Test, New Zealand’s brilliant player Tom Blundell has given a big statement about Team India. According to him, the host is very disappointed with this defeat. Tom Blundell told SENZ Mornings: ‘They are surprised. When we came here for the first time, there was a slogan on TV that it would be 5-0 in their home heat. I am sure he wrote this when we came here after losing the series against Sri Lanka. But I am very happy with what we have achieved. We performed well and won this series. 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. Whatever may be the result, we would like to have a smile on our faces. Whatever we have achieved is a big highlight of our career. We are all fully prepared for the upcoming final test. There is also hope that we can beat them 3-0. 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 third Test against New Zealand starting from November 1 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Not only this, after this Team India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia and they will have to perform well in that too.

“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.

Got to feel for him…coz as always he came out with solid & honest intent. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 25, 2024 Indian team is in very bad condition If we talk about the match, Team India is in a bad situation at the moment.

Captain Rohit Sharma was out after opening his account on the first day of the game, while Ravichandran Ashwin also returned to the pavilion on a personal score of four runs.

IND vs NZ: Manoj Tiwari is unhappy with the performance of Team India in the Bengaluru Test, gave a surprising statement about Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir
In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. Gautam Gambhir & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) In the first Test match played between Team India and New Zealand, the host had to face defeat. The players of Team India had failed to show good performance and that is why New Zealand won this match. After the end of the match, former player Manoj Tiwari has questioned the decisions of captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir. According to him, Team India did not take important decisions in the first test and that is why they had to face defeat. Manoj Tiwari told Cricbuzz, ‘Sometimes I cannot understand the decisions. There seems to be a lack of common sense. It is beyond my understanding what the coach and the captain are trying to prove. I think whenever a new coach or captain comes, he tries to prove something and takes such decisions. I don’t understand why Team India did not use Ravichandran Ashwin properly: Manoj Tiwari Former player Manoj Tiwari has also raised questions as to why experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has taken more than 500 Test wickets, was not given the bowling during New Zealand’s second innings. Let us tell you that New Zealand needed 107 runs to win the first test. Ravichandran Ashwin came to bowl when New Zealand had scored 97 runs losing two wickets and the experienced player bowled only two overs in the second innings. Manoj Tiwari further said, ‘I knew that some spinner would get less overs but I did not think that it would be Ashwin. Ravichandran Ashwin has taken more than 500 Test wickets and when you are defending 107 runs, you need an aggressive bowler along with Jasprit Bumrah. Even good captains make mistakes because there is too much going on in your mind. There is a lot of need for a coach here but I don’t know why the mistake was made here that Ashwin was not given bowling. Another thing which was surprising was that Akash Deep was not included in the playing XI. Even good captains make mistakes because they have a lot going on in their mind. At present, Team India will have to make a strong comeback in the second test and both the coach and the captain will have to take many important decisions.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is starting from 22nd November in Perth. Pat Cummins (Photo Source: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is starting from 22nd November in Perth. In this 5-match Test series, both Team India and Australia would definitely like to win it by performing well against each other. Let us tell you that Team India has won the last two editions of Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, before the start of this Test series, Australia team captain Pat Cummins has given a big statement about Team India. Pat Cummins was a part of the Australia team in which Team India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2017. Since then, Team India has performed brilliantly in the Test series against Australia. Talking about the Australian team, they won the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 under the captaincy of Pat Cummins while the team has also won the World Test Championship. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Pat Cummins said during an event, ‘I was thinking about this thing recently. This is the closest thing I haven’t been able to achieve yet. I have never defeated Team India in a Test series. There are some people like that but I am not among them. Whoever decided to make me captain knew about my abilities: Pat Cummins Pat Cummins further said, ‘Whenever you see the captain of Australia, it comes to your mind that he has achieved a lot. And when you are appointed captain, you also think that now I have also become one like them. Many people supported me in the initial days and whoever decided to make me captain knew about my abilities. I myself did not know about this thing. Pat Cummins’s record against India in Tests has been excellent. The Australian captain has taken 50 wickets at an average of above 26 in 13 test matches against Team India. Pat Cummins would definitely like to leave his mark in the upcoming 5-match Test series. Currently, both the teams are practicing vigorously for the upcoming test series.

“If Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him” – Ashwin’s surprising statement.
Rohit And Ashwin (Image Credit- Instagram) The time of mega auction for IPL (Indian Premier League) 2025 is getting closer. Many big players can participate in this auction. Last year, Mumbai Indians had replaced Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as their captain, seeing this, it is believed that this time Rohit may go in the mega auction. In 2024, Hardik Pandya was made the captain by replacing Rohit Sharma. Amidst all this, it is also being claimed in some reports that, if Rohit comes in the auction, then Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) can bid for him. Will RCB be able to buy Rohit Sharma? On this, Indian team off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said that this would not be the right option for the franchise because Rohit will be sold at a very high price and there is little possibility of the franchise having much money. R Ashwin made a surprising claim about Rohit Sharma While talking on his YouTube channel, Ravi Ashwin, while answering a fan’s question, said that if Rohit is bought a franchise, then consider Rs 20 crore for him. He said, “If you are going for Rohit Sharma then you will have to keep Rs 20 crores. 20 crores went missing there.” RCB franchise already has a player like Virat Kohli, whom it will definitely retain at any cost. To retain Virat, the team will have to pay a maximum of Rs 18 crores. However, if Rohit comes in the auction, he will also have to fight with other teams and in such a situation, Rohit’s price will skyrocket. To buy Rohit, any franchise will have to spend Rs 20 crore or more. Captain Rohit Sharma, who led the Indian team to the T20 World Cup, has been in Mumbai Indians since 2011. He had captained the team since 2013 and had led the team to the title in the very first season. Under the captaincy of Rohit, Mumbai has won the title five times. Last year, when the team made Pandya the captain, Rohit was unhappy with it. There were also reports of rift between Pandya and Rohit in the team.

R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan captain Rameez Raja has praised India’s experienced all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin. According to Rameez Raja, Ravichandran Ashwin has achieved many great achievements in his cricketing career but he has not celebrated it much. Let us tell you that recently Ravichandran Ashwin had given a valuable all-round performance in the two-match Test series played against Bangladesh. Not only this, Ravichandran Ashwin won the Player of the Series award for the 11th time in the Test format during this series. With this, along with Sri Lankan veteran spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, he has achieved the brilliant feat of winning the Player of the Series award the maximum number of times. According to Times of India, Rameez Raja said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Ravichandran Ashwin did not celebrate as much as he should have as an all-rounder. If you look at his record, he is no match for anyone. He is a no nonsense player. Everyone praises him a lot. The biggest thing with Ashwin is that he is never seen angry when he is out of the team or remains as the 12th man. He understands the situation of the team and also his responsibility. Whenever Ashwin gets a chance to play, his performance is always tremendous and we should learn a lot from him. The experienced player has a lot of knowledge of cricket. Former Pakistani player gave example of Ravichandran Ashwin Rameez Raja further said, ‘We have seen Ashwin and Jadeja how they have improved their game. In Pakistan, players perform and then their form declines. We have many such examples but the success story of Team India players is very different. He knows very well that there are many players who can challenge him even to sit on the bench. Ravichandran Ashwin played an important role in the Test series played against Bangladesh not only with bowling but also with batting. He also scored a valuable century for his team in the first innings of this test match.

For me, every match of the World Cup is special and we would like to perform well in all of them. But everyone’s emotions will be very high in the India-Pakistan match. All matches are very important for us and we would like to give our 100 percent. New Zealand and Sri Lanka are strong teams but there is no margin for error against Australia. It has always been exciting to face Australia because they are a tremendous team and defeating them has always been challenging.
