It could wake up a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see this when he comes on the field- Josh Hazlewood Josh Hazlewood (Photo Source: New Zealand recently won the Test series against India 3-0, after 24 years any team has whitewashed India in a Test series at home. Team India has to play a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22. Team India’s form before this series remains a matter of concern. India’s place in the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25 seemed certain, but after the defeat against New Zealand, the team’s troubles have increased. To reach the final, India will have to win four out of five matches against Australia. Meanwhile, Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood says that India will be inspired to play better cricket after the loss to New Zealand. However, Hazlewood is also happy that Team India’s confidence has taken a blow after the defeat against Blackcaps. Josh Hazlewood said this about Team India Josh Hazlewood, speaking on the Sydney Morning Herald, said, It could wake up a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see this when they take the field. For them, losing 3-0 is better than winning 3-0, easily. There may have been a slight blow to confidence. A lot of them have been out here, but there are also some batsmen who haven’t been out here, so they will be a little unsure of what to expect. I don’t think you can read too much into it. The results are obviously kind of good for us. There’s too much bounce here – Scott Boland Scott Boland talked about India’s success in Australia in the last few series, but he believes the conditions will be different this time as they expect more bounce. “I think the circumstances are very different,” Boland said. Obviously, the last few times India have come to Australia, they have performed really well. Yes, there is a lot of bounce here. I think the way they will set up their team will be completely different from what we see in India.” Let us tell you, India has won the last two Test series in Australia by 2-1. On the other hand, Australia is now keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15.
Neither Virat, nor Rohit; This player will score the most runs in BGT 2024-25, Ponting made a big prediction
Ricky Ponting made a big prediction regarding the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy. India Australia Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Twitter) The five-match Test series between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is starting from November 22. There is a lot of talk going on in the cricket world right now regarding this series. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding this series. Ponting has named the two players who, according to him, can score the most runs in this series. Ricky Ponting has selected one Indian and one Australian player. In fact, Ponting, while talking in the ICC review, said that the top scorers in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 could be Rishabh Pant and Steve Smith. Rishabh Pant now has the experience of playing in Australia, while Steve Smith is already Australia’s star player and he knows his conditions. Ricky Ponting made a big prediction regarding BGT 2024-25 Ricky Ponting said, “I think Smith, the fact that he has moved back from opening batsman to No. 4 probably makes him feel that he has more to prove. He has to prove that he can give his best at number four. At the same time, with Rishabh Pant coming back into the team and possibly batting in the middle order when the shine and hardness of the ball reduces a bit and the form he is in, I would also pick him as the leading run scorer.” Ricky Ponting has also told who is going to win this series. However, they have already predicted this and are still sticking to the same prediction. Ricky Ponting has said that Australia will win 3-1 in this series played under the World Test Championship. Regarding India’s bowling, Ponting said, “There has been a huge difference in that bowling group because of Mohammed Shami. Even at that time (in August) there was some speculation whether Shami would be fit or not. I think the biggest challenge for India will be to take 20 wickets in every Test match. I think they will bat well here with the current batsmen, but their problem is going to be in bowling.

The form of both the senior players remains a matter of concern for the team before the upcoming Test series against Australia. Meanwhile, former Indian opener K Srikkanth has advised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to spend some time at the crease before scoring runs. Virat will not face any problem with Australian pitches – K Srikanth K Srikanth believes that even though Virat has not played much big innings in the last few matches, he will not be troubled by the bounce provided by the Australian pitches. According to Times of India, K Srikanth said, “The best thing about Virat is his determination and hunger to achieve more. The bounce provided by Australian pitches is not something that should bother Virat. , The former player has asked Rohit Sharma to be more cautious. Recently, Rohit has had to struggle against fast bowlers. In the series against New Zealand, fast bowlers took his wicket four times out of 6. Srikanth also believes that Rohit’s signature pull shot can also become his weakness. The way he was in a hurry to mistime his favorite pull-shot. Even if you are an aggressive opening batsman, it is important to give yourself a little more time in the middle, especially in Australia. In Australia your strength can sometimes become your weakness. Rohit just needs to be a little careful.” India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar IND vs AUS: Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test Series Schedule First Test- 22-26 November, Perth, 7:50 am (Indian time) Second Test- 6-10 December, Adelaide, 9:30 am (Indian time) Third Test- 14-18 December, Brisbane, 9:30 am (Indian time) Fourth Test- 26-30 December, Melbourne, 5:00 am (Indian time) Fifth Test- 3-7 January, Sydney, 5:00 am (Indian time)

(Image Source: ICC/Twitter) The performance of Indian team’s best batsman Virat Kohli has been very poor for some time. The experienced batsman had failed to bat brilliantly in the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand.
