But the Indian bowlers could not take that advantage against them. Please bowl short pitch balls to Dean Elgar a little sooner in the next match – Irfan Pathan Pathan said, “Elgar has trouble against short pitch balls. When he was batting at 60-70 runs, you bowled him short balls. In the next match, please bowl them short balls quickly. He was out on short balls 4 times against Australia. I also talked about it in the commentary. You have to bowl very well in the second match to level the series.” Let us tell you that, this was Elgar’s 14th Test century in 85 matches and his second century against India, his batting average in 14 Test matches against India was 43.30.

“Such useless bowling… yet Rohit Sharma did not say anything to him” – DK said about Shardul and Prasidh Krishna
India lost the first Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park, Centurion by an innings and 32 runs to go down 0-1 in the two-match series. In response to South Africa’s mammoth score of 408 runs, thanks to a brilliant century by Dean Elgar (185) in the first innings, the Rohit Sharma-led team could only score 245 and 131 runs in both the innings. After India’s defeat, Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik strongly criticized the pair of Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna, who failed to provide any assistance to Jasprit Bumrah in bowling during the match. Commenting on his performance, Karthik said that Thakur was in the last series in South Africa as well but despite this, he had an ordinary performance this time. Rohit Sharma was very kind towards Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna – Dinesh Karthik Speaking on a Cricbuzz show, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shardul and Prasidh definitely need to improve their game. Rohit was very kind to him when he said that he is a young bowler. But Shardul was in the last series also. He performed very well. But this time it was a very normal performance. Prasidh Krishna is a young bowler and this shows that he does not have much first-class experience. He was giving more than one boundary ball. There was no control there and that is never a good sign in Test cricket. He further said that India missed Mohammed Shami, who has been ruled out of the series due to an ankle injury. He further named Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who worked brilliantly as the second or third seamer. Karthik further said, “In the last few years, India has prided itself on how good its bowling attack has been. But you can see that without Mohammed Shami, this Indian attack is not what it used to be. Before this, we had Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar. “They gave us the least continuity and that was largely lacking today.” Also read: What is the complete schedule of Team India for the next three months, know in one click

Nasir Hussain praised Shubman Gill fiercely In the video shared by ICC, Nasir Hussain said, “I am going with Shubman Gill. I think three-quarters, nine-tenths of them in 2023 were very good. Having players like Rohit Sharma at the other end, he must have learned a lot. Maybe, in the end, that illness bothered him a bit and his form deteriorated. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India in the coming years. Hopefully 2024 will be good for him.” Furthermore, Hussain lauded the performance of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who impressed everyone with his performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers of the competition.

When he was given a chance in the top order, he performed brilliantly there. Hopefully, he will continue his form.” Also read: What is Hardik Pandya proving by posting the video with his son?
