They face South Africa in the second Test today on Wednesday, January 03 at Newlands, Cape Town. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a defeat by an innings and 32 runs in the opening game in Centurion and are now looking for a win to level the series. Let us tell you that India is the number one ranked Test team with 118 rating. However, they have failed to win consecutive World Test Championship finals. Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Group is also not very happy with India’s Test performance and has called them an ‘overrated team’. He believes that when Virat was the captain, the team was doing well in Test cricket for 2-3 years. K Srikanth called India an overrated team in Test and T-20. Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “We are overrated in Test cricket. I think it was the 2-3 year phase…when Virat Kohli was the captain of the team, we were excellent. We dominated in England, we fought hard in South Africa, we won in Australia. We had a good phase for 2-4 years.” Srikanth further said, ‘We have to forget the ICC rankings. We’re always number 1-2, 1-2. It is a mix of overrated cricketers and cricketers who have not performed to their potential. Or some players like Kuldeep (Yadav) who have not got enough opportunities. If you want to be the best team, you must be able to become a giant on home grounds. This is what we did when Rishabh Pant was firing. Talking about India’s performance in limited overs cricket, the former cricketer said that ‘India is more overrated in T20 cricket. ODI cricket, we are a great team. What happens in the semi-finals and finals in ODI is a one-time match. It is a factor of luck, a lot depends on luck in these matches.

“Test cricket is currently in ICU and has been put on ventilator”- Aakash Chopra said about the red ball format.
Many former and current cricketers have criticized Cricket South Africa for preferring SA20 over Test cricket. Regarding this, Chopra has said that the Test cricketer is now in ICU and has been kept on ventilator. He also criticized Pakistan for leaving out Shaheen Afridi from the third Test against Australia to manage his workload ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) starting in early June and the T20 World Cup. Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement regarding test format In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Test cricket is currently in the ICU and has been put on a ventilator. First of all, there are a handful of teams playing Test cricket and even among them there are only three teams left that can afford to play Test cricket. South Africa announced its B team against New Zealand. The reason is that SA20 is about to start, it is their domestic T20 tournament.” Aakash Chopra further said, “Two Test matches of the WTC cycle have come this time. He said let’s leave the Test match and they will play in SA20, from (Aiden) Markram to (Kagiso) Rabada, everyone should be available there (SA20) and the rest of the kids can play Test cricket.” Aakash Chopra was surprised to see that Pakistan decided to give Shaheen Afridi a break after losing the first two matches of the series.

Sanjay Manjrekar wants to see this bowler playing in the second test in place of Prasidh Krishna
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has demanded the inclusion of fast bowler Mukesh Kumar in the Indian team in the second Test match against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Mukesh, who made his Test debut last year against West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, managed to take one wicket there. Manjrekar advised not to include Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna together in the playing XI and also stressed on making a balanced combination. Highlighting Mukesh’s ability to adapt to challenging situations and suggesting strategic changes. 58-year-old Manjrekar said that fast bowler Mukesh Kumar can prove to be important for Team India in the upcoming match. Mukesh Kumar should get a chance in the second test match- Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjrekar was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, “From what we have seen in the first Test, I do not expect Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna to play together in the second Test. There will definitely be a change, if Ravindra Jadeja is fit then it will strengthen our batting. So, if Mukesh Kumar is bowling well in the nets, he can be brought in. He is more suitable for these circumstances.” India are trailing 0-1 in the series after an innings defeat in the opening Test at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Manjrekar suggested that, despite the failure in the first Test, captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid could be seen supporting Yashasvi Jaiswal. Expressing hope of a better pitch in Cape Town, this experienced player has expressed hope of an exciting match in the upcoming match. Sanjay Manjrekar further said, “Since it is a two-match series, you are sometimes forced to make some changes. However, I do not think India will make any major changes in their batting lineup. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid must have seen how Yashasvi Jaiswal played and they will continue to support him. When it comes to batting you can’t change things with selection. You can just hope that the pitch is a little easier to bat on.” Also read: David Warner’s baggy green cap not found, forced to play Sydney Test without it

Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan said that India should focus on preparing a new captain after Rohit Sharma in 2024. Rohit, who led the team in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup final, is currently captaining the team in the ongoing Test series against South Africa.

Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, he reached the number 1 ranking in Test cricket. His fitness was excellent. He performed well in every match and made the team perform brilliantly in every match. Rohit Sharma also made the team perform amazingly. Saw in the World Cup and he won the Asia Cup but who after Rohit Sharma?” Irfan further said that this year India will also have to focus on building a good fast bowling unit. Cricketer-turned-commentator Pathan said India do not have a potential backup in the ongoing Test series, and pointed out how Mohammed Shami’s absence in the opening match affected Team India.

“Exclude Shardul Thakur from the team and bring this spinner in the team” – K Srikkanth’s demand for the second test match.
Ahead of the second Test match against South Africa, former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth demanded the inclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin in India’s playing eleven. Ashwin got a chance to play in the first Test due to Jadeja’s back spasm. In the Centurion Test, Ashwin bowled economically, conceding only 41 runs in 19 overs and taking just one wicket. Srikanth asked to choose Ashwin instead of Shardul Thakur. He believes that Jadeja and Ashwin together can put pressure on the Proteas batsmen. Despite India opting for a four-man pace attack in the opening Test, the former India opener suggested that Ashwin can team effectively with Jadeja as he bowls economical and can help India against South Africa in the upcoming Cape Town Test. Can present a challenge to the lineup. Ashwin is a better player than Shardul Thakur – K Srikanth Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “I will still give a chance to Ashwin. I believe Ashwin is better than Shardul Thakur. I will play Ashwin instead of Shardul. Even if he doesn’t take five wickets, he will definitely take some (wickets). Probably, he will form a good combination with Jadeja and bowl tightly. These two can work together and take 4-5 wickets, you never know. That will be enough, he will have done his job.” It is noteworthy that the second and final Test is going to start from January 3 in Cape Town. In such a situation, Team India can consider changes in its playing eleven with the aim of leveling the series. Talking about the team combination, the 64-year-old stressed on the need for fairness and also talked about not dropping Prasidh Krishna after one match.
