His highest individual score here is 169 runs. Speaking on SENQ Breakfast, Ian Healy said, ‘First of all I want to see how our fast bowlers bowl against Virat Kohli. I would say that the bowlers should first target the front leg of Virat Kohli. After this, as soon as they faced some trouble, the host bowlers bowled short balls. This will cause a lot of trouble to Virat Kohli and we can take his wicket soon. If this is not making any difference then target their body. I am sure that Virat Kohli will have a lot of trouble with this. Ian Healy gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Ian Healy further said, ‘Keep the ball away from Virat Kohli so that he wants to come and hit the ball. You can then target their front pad. But if his footwork is good then target the body. I want him to play an uncontrolled hook or bridge. I will definitely have a short leg against him in Perth.

He has been in the headlines since Team India reached Australia. There is a lot of pressure on the Men in Blue, as they recently suffered a 0-3 defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand. Meanwhile, Australia’s legendary wicketkeeper-batsman Ian Healy has criticized the Indian team for not allowing fans and media in the net session before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Healy believes that the touring team may be unhappy with such a policy. He said that in the past, Australia used to do something similar on Asia tours. However, he also admitted that Team India would want a ‘safe place’ to escape the everyday scrutiny. India is now doing what Australia…- Ian Healy Healy said, India is now doing to Australia what Australia used to do to India, Pakistan and sometimes Sri Lanka. Just not acknowledging the whole experience and the initial media. If you expose yourself to the media and meet the Australian public and the many Indians who come here, it makes for a very pleasant tour. He said that there are many reasons why India has locked itself down. We cannot imagine the crowd that they have to face day after day. So maybe training is their safe space and they have to do certain things and they want to keep it away from the public eye. Let us tell you that the first test match between the two teams will be played in Perth from 22nd November. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first Test. Therefore, Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of the Indian team in the Perth Test.

Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, former Australian captain Ian Chappell has given a big statement about the Indian team’s experienced batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you that both these players have been struggling with very poor form for some time. However, it is very important for these two players to give important performances for Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. This five-match Test series is starting from 22 November in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win about four matches of this Test series. According to Ian Chappell, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may face a lot of trouble in Australian conditions. Ian Chappell said, ‘The only thing I would like to say is that Team India is coming after losing the Test series against Australia and New Zealand. The pitch in Australia is very good and extra bounce will also be seen there. It is very important for the batsmen of Team India to understand this thing. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may have to face problems due to extra bounce. Team India will need maximum runs from its best player: Mark Taylor Ian Chappell further said about Team India, ‘The performance of the team’s batsmen has been disappointing. I think Yashasvi Jaiswal is a very good young player and apart from him, Shubman Gill can also perform well. But you have Kohli and Rohit Sharma who have a lot of experience and at this time when people are talking so much about them, I think they can be seen performing well in the upcoming series. Regarding this, former player Mark Taylor said, ‘Team India has moved ahead with Pujara and Rahane. They have all Rohit and Kohli who are the best players in the world but the team is going through a very difficult situation at the moment and this has put pressure on the young players and also on the lower order players. You have to try to score as many runs as possible from your best player but this has not been seen at all from Team India in the last 12 to 18 months.

Ian Healy gave a surprising statement regarding Jake Fraser-McGurk, the aggressive opening batsman gave a befitting reply to the former player
Australia team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. Jake Fraser-McGurk (Image Credit- Twitter Australia’s explosive opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk’s aggressive batting style was heavily criticized by former player Ian Healy. Let us tell you that Jake Fraser-McGurk has batted brilliantly in domestic cricket so far but the young player has not been able to leave his mark in international cricket. Australia team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The first ODI between these two teams was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne in which Jake Fraser-McGurk scored only 16 runs. Ian Healy has criticized the batting approach of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short and compared their batting to ‘schoolyard bullies’. Ian Healy told SEN: ‘The arrogance of the Australian players could not keep them ahead even for half an hour in the match. They are watching it like schoolyard cricket. The shot selection was very poor and both the openers played like ‘schoolyard bullies’. The investment the cricket board has made in them is looking very bad as both the players have batted disappointingly so far. We have been chosen to give an attacking start: Jake Fraser-McGurk Regarding Healy’s statement, Jake Fraser-McGurk said, ‘I don’t think so. The game is changing very quickly and if we start with a bang in the first 10 overs, the team can reach big scores. If we give a good start to the team, then the batsmen in the middle order will also get a lot of help and we can score big. I and Short can come on the field and play cricket in our own way and that is why we have been selected. We have got a place in the team so that we can give an aggressive start and put pressure on the bowlers of the opposing team. This is our plan as well as that of the team. Whatever way the management expects us to bat, we can show them the same performance.

Ian Smith criticized Team India Let us tell you, after this poor performance of Team India in batting, Ian Smith said on Sports 18 – Well, if you ask me, it is worse than being all out for 46 runs. That’s some poor batting and shot selection. I can understand the first Test, but instead of playing themselves, batting for time, India are going after the bowling for some reason. Smith further said- He feels that he can criticize New Zealand’s bowling line-up. This is the second day of the test match. There is still a lot of time, but the way India are playing, none of them will be here to bat for that long. New Zealand took a lead of 301 runs over India On the other hand, if we talk about the ongoing second Test match in Pune, in response to New Zealand’s first innings score of 259 runs, India’s first innings was reduced to just 156 runs.

(Exclusive) India is the best team in the world right now: Ian Bell
Ian Bell was seen playing for India Capitals in the third season of LLC. Ian Bell (Image Credit- Twitter X) Ian Bell, former middle order batsman of the England cricket team, was seen commanding the India Capitals in the ongoing third season of Legends League Cricket. However, his team had to be eliminated after losing against Toyam Hyderabad in the eliminator match. So, in a special interview with Crictracker on the sidelines of the six-team tournament, Ian Bell has talked about different and big issues of cricket. In this interview, he has described the Indian team as the best team in the world at present. Let us tell you that Bell has played 118 Tests, 161 ODIs and 8 T20 matches for England, during which the cricketer scored a total of 13331 runs. Here’s CricTracker’s exclusive interview with Ian Bell. Which Indian player would you like to play in your national team? Obviously Virat Kohli and I would have no objection to Bumrah in our bowling attack. If you could swap your cricket career with any player, who would it be and why? Would I swap? I don’t know if I would do it or not, but who would I admire? I have been watching players like Virat Kohli and players like Joe Root for a long time. His long game and long skills are commendable. I think you admire the way Virat handles the pressure of expectations and continues to perform well. Which legend would you like to select in your team in this league? MS Dhoni, just to play in his team. Obviously I played a lot of cricket against him. But it would be great to share the dressing room with him for just one game. According to you, what is the biggest rivalry in cricket? Growing up in England, the Ashes is something you grow up watching and wanting to play. But when you watch India vs Pakistan, it is an amazing rivalry and there have been some amazing matches. There are excellent cricketers on both sides. Do you think the India-Australia rivalry is now getting closer to the Ashes? For me, India is the best team in the world at the moment. Australia, India and England, both at home and abroad, are the three teams that are powerhouses in Test cricket. When the series is of two or three matches, you can avoid certain things. But if there is a five-Test series, the best team will win. I am really looking forward to watching the India vs Australia series, it is going to be interesting. India has everything to win.
(Exclusive) “It would be nice to share the dressing room with him…”, Ian Bell wants to see MS Dhoni in LLC

Responding to which he said, “Oh MS Dhoni, just to play in his team… obviously I have played a lot of cricket against him. He has a lot of presence, a calm nature.

So, we have to talk to the people (LLC administration) and see if we can include him in the team.” The former English cricketer believes that Dhoni’s presence in the dressing room will help the players a lot. Talking further he said, “But just hearing their experiences and seeing their calmness under pressure would be amazing…” MS Dhoni will be retained as an uncapped player in IPL 2025 Questions are continuously being raised regarding the future of MS Dhoni in IPL 2025.

Under the new retention policy of IPL 2025, CSK can retain Dhoni only as an uncapped player. Because he has not played any international match for the last five years. Dhoni last played for India in the semi-finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup. At the same time, he had announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020.

“Don’t make Travis Head open in BGT…”- Ian Chappell warns Australia team
Travis Head (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell has warned the Australian team against using Travis Head as an opening batsman in the upcoming five-match Test series against India. The Kangaroos are set to face India in a five-match Test series later this year. The 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is scheduled to begin on November 22 in Perth. The Australian team is looking for an opening partner for Usman Khawaja after David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this year. In the last two Test series against West Indies and New Zealand, Steve Smith opened for the Pat Cummins-led side but did not perform as expected. There is a high possibility that he will be seen batting at number four in this series against India. Now in such a situation, it will be interesting to see who will open for the Australian team in the Test series against India in his absence. Ian Chappell has given his opinion on this issue. Ian Chappell expressed his opinion regarding Travis Head In his column for ESPN Cricinfo by ian chappell That said, “Travis Head’s opening in Test cricket is based on his unmatched success facing the new ball in both 50-over and T20 cricket. There is no doubt that Head, with his highly attacking style, is the ideal player to open in the two shorter formats of the game. However, Test cricket will be a completely different thing.” Ian Chappell further said, “To trouble Jasprit Bumrah, everyone is demanding that Head should open. However, Bumrah and to some extent Mohammed Siraj are unlikely to change their aggressive mindset.” Chappell wants some runs on the board before Travis Head comes to the crease. He said, “Clever R Ashwin will not be fazed by the ultra-aggressive attitude of the opponent. It could be argued that opening with Head means he is more stable facing Ashwin when there are some runs on the board. On the other hand, an astute opposition captain can use off-spinners with the new ball. There is also a compelling argument for using Head as an opening batsman in a Test match.”

Ian Bell has helped me a lot – Jamie Smith England’s 24-year-old young batsman Jamie Smith said while talking on Cricbuzz, Bailey (Ian Bell) has helped me a lot over the last few years, both at Lions and Birmingham Phoenix. I am really grateful for the knowledge he gave me and when I had my eye on the Test series, he became my throwdown specialist. I think it’s great when people want to be with you and help you. Even if they are in the opposing side. So I am grateful for his help. Let us tell you, despite the presence of Jonny Bairstow and Ben Fox, the team management kept faith in Jamie Smith. Smith also performed well in the Test series against West Indies. Ian Bell said a big thing in praise of Smith Former great player Ian Bell says that Jamie Smith will become a world-class player for England in the future. He said, He’s going to be a world-class player for England. He’s class and now we have to find ways to get him out in this series. I think I’ve played a small part in his development, but I’ve seen a guy who’s worked very hard.
