“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.

Before IPL, we used to talk a lot in the training camp. We have done a lot of training together, after which I thought of following him on Instagram. I hadn’t thought about it at all before. However, as soon as I opened my Instagram and started searching for him, I could not find him. What was going on in my mind was that Virat Kohli would definitely be on social media because it was very difficult for the Indian batsman not to be on Instagram. I couldn’t understand at all why I couldn’t find him on Instagram. Then someone told that maybe they might have blocked me and that is why I am not able to find them. When Glenn Maxwell made fun of Kohli during the test match After this Glenn Maxwell went to Virat Kohli and asked him why the Indian batsman has blocked him on Instagram? On this, Virat Kohli said, ‘This could happen because you were making fun of me during the Test match. After this I thought I would block you.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.

VIDEO: Virat lost his temper after listening to the fans, did such a thing in anger
Overall, Virat Kohli could score only 18 runs in both the innings of the Pune Test match. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: The Test series against New Zealand has been no less than a nightmare for Team India so far. The first test match was 8 wickets and now Team India had to face defeat by 113 runs in the second match. When Virat Kohli came to bat on the third day, he gave hope of victory in the Indian camp by hitting some good shots. But when he returned to the dressing room after getting out, his anger was on top of the sky. Virat Kohli’s anger reaches sky high While returning to the dressing room, Virat Kohli got angry and hit the ice box hard with his bat. In this video going viral on social media, Virat Kohli was going towards the dressing room after getting out. Then some fans said ‘hard luck’ and then Virat hit the box full of water bottles with force with the bat. Kohli could score only one run in the first innings of the Pune Test, while in the second innings he was out after scoring only 17 runs. Talking about the match, on the third day, New Zealand had advanced its innings with a score of 198/5, but the Indian bowlers had all out the Kiwi team within the next 57 runs. In this way India got the target of 359 runs in the fourth innings. Virat Kohli came to bat in the fourth innings when India had lost the second wicket at the score of 96. There Team India needed a big partnership, but due to continuous fall of wickets the team was on the backfoot. From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, from Gill to Sarfaraz, everyone flopped with the bat in the second innings of the Pune Test and could not contribute anything. Despite losing two consecutive Tests against New Zealand, the Indian team remains at the first position in the World Test Championship table. India’s winning percentage is 62.82, but Team India’s two consecutive defeats have made its path to the finals difficult. Australia, which is in second place, has a percentage of 62.50. India will have to win every match from here to reach the WTC final.
