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.
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
