Matthew Hayden and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has given a big statement about former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Ignoring Kohli’s recent Test form, Hayden has said that he is going to perform well in the BGT series. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Kohli’s bat seems to be calm in the biggest format of the game. In the last 12 innings played in Test cricket, Kohli has scored a total of 250 runs at a modest average of 22.72. However, if Team India has to do better in the first match in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma, then Kohli will have to come forward and perform. He starts his average from zero: Matthew Hayden Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Cricket Australia before the start of BGT, Hayden said – Naturally, there should be the hunger that Virat always brings in any kind of competition, and in the history of Test match cricket, it should be more than this. There is no one bigger. He is in the team that has dominated Australia on its own soil for almost a decade. This is an important factor for the place where he has worked really hard. A lot of his impact on the game can be seen not only with the bat in his hand, but also in his confidence in the competition and his fitness level. Hayden further said- So Virat has a lot to play for. Unfortunately, he has not been able to continue his excellent form in recent times. But this season is new and he starts his average from zero. We all know that he is capable of averaging over 50. He is the second greatest player in his country after Sachin Tendulkar. So, I wish him all the best.

Cheteshwar Pujara has always been dominant in front of Australian bowlers. Australia’s best fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has recently given a big statement regarding Cheteshwar Pujara. Josh Hazlewood is quite happy that Cheteshwar Pujara will not be seen batting in the upcoming Test series. Josh Hazlewood told the reporter in the press, ‘I am very happy that Cheteshwar Pujara is not here. Cheteshwar Pujara bats for a long time and taking his wicket has always been very difficult. He has batted amazingly in all the tours of Australia. But young players are always coming to Team India and they know that it is very difficult to make their place in Team India. Whoever is selected in the playing XI are all tremendous players. So it does not mean that who has been selected are all the best players. Our focus is on all the players: Josh Hazlewood Josh Hazlewood further said, ‘Our focus will not just be on Virat Kohli but on all the players of the team. Virat Kohli has always performed very well and has achieved a lot of success in the past and his wicket will be very important. But Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah are also normal players and they also have tremendous talent. The five-match Test series between Australia and India is starting from 22 November. The first test match between these two teams will be played in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win four matches against Australia.

‘Whenever I come out to bat’ Mitchell Marsh opens up on his tumultuous Test career ahead of BGT
Marsh played 42 Test matches for Australia, scoring 2010 runs at an average of 30.45. Mitchell Marsh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Mitchell Marsh, brother of former Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh, was always under pressure, because the spotlight kept shining on him from the very beginning. So now before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at home, the player has given a big statement. Marsh says that whenever I come out to bat, I am troubling myself like any other person. It is noteworthy that in the beginning of his Test career, Marsh was not able to perform as per expectations. The 33-year-old all-rounder made his Test debut for Australia in 2014, but due to his lack of consistent performance, he was soon dropped from the team. After the Sandpapergate scandal, he not only returned to the team, but was also made the vice-captain of the Test team. After this, he was again dropped from the Test team within a year. However, after this, Marsh has been successful in playing white ball cricket continuously for Australia and is currently the captain of the Australian T20 team. Mitchell Marsh gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently in a discussion with Fox Cricket before BGT, Mitchell Marsh said – The truth is that I am a human being and whenever I come out to bat, I treat myself like any other person. I am disturbing you. I’ve worked really hard on the mental side of my game so I can go out there and get straight into my pre-ball routine, no matter how nervous I am. Marsh further said- For me, it is all about my preparation. If I prepare well, go into a game or an innings really confident, then if I fail, I can look at myself in the mirror and say I really did everything I could. Could do.
Neither Jadeja nor Sundar, this spinner will get a chance in Perth Test, increased tension of Kangaroo batsmen
The Indian team can go with only one spinner in the Perth Test. Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins on November 22, where the first of the series will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. A big update has come out regarding this test match. Actually, Team India’s off-spinner R Ashwin may get a chance in the first test match. Why could this happen? We also tell you the reason behind this. In fact, Australia has many left-handed batsmen in its batting line-up and their record against left-arm spinners has been quite good. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are the three big players who are expected to play a key role in the high-voltage five-match Test series. In such a situation, Ashwin can prove effective against him. R Ashwin may get a chance in Perth test match Ashwin’s record is also good against Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Apart from this, he can also trouble the young batsman Nathan McSweeney. This is why Ashwin is expected to get a chance before Sundar and Jadeja. Whereas, if we talk about fast bowling, Mohammad Siraj will be seen with Jasprit Bumrah. The third pacer could be Akash Deep or the famous Krishna. All-rounder Nitish Reddy can be given a chance as the fourth fast bowler, who will provide strength in batting along with pace bowling. However, not giving a chance to Jadeja and Ashwin may weaken Team India’s batting because Jadeja and Sundar can bat better than Ashwin. Let us tell you that the pitches of Australia are not that favorable for spinners. If we take a look at Ashwin’s record in Australia, in 10 Test matches, the Tamil Nadu spinner has taken 39 wickets at an average of 42.15, which is his second lowest average in any particular country. From this you can imagine how difficult it becomes for the spinners to take wickets there.
