But the Indian bowlers could not take that advantage against them. Please bowl short pitch balls to Dean Elgar a little sooner in the next match – Irfan Pathan Pathan said, “Elgar has trouble against short pitch balls. When he was batting at 60-70 runs, you bowled him short balls. In the next match, please bowl them short balls quickly. He was out on short balls 4 times against Australia. I also talked about it in the commentary. You have to bowl very well in the second match to level the series.” Let us tell you that, this was Elgar’s 14th Test century in 85 matches and his second century against India, his batting average in 14 Test matches against India was 43.30.

S Badrinath said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Virat Kohli has scored more than 5000 runs in 68 Test matches as captain and has won 40 of them while he has had to face defeat in 17 matches. He also captained very well in the series against Australia and played an important role in his team’s victory. Why is Virat Kohli not the captain of the Test team? Virat is a better batsman than Rohit in Tests. After all, why has a weak player been given the captaincy of the team in his place? Even though Rohit Sharma is a big player and has scored a lot of runs, he still has to prove himself as an opener outside India. So why is he there?

‘India is the lowest in the world…’, Vaughan took a dig at Team India after the crushing defeat in Centurion.
Vaughan described India as a low achieving team Team India and Michael Vaughan. (Image Source: Getty Images) Michael Vaughan is always in the news for his statements. Now, after India’s defeat in the Centurion Test at the hands of South Africa, he has again let down Team India by commenting. Commenting, the former England captain has called India a low achieving team. Actually, South Africa defeated Rohit Sharma and Company by an innings and 32 runs due to the excellent performance of the bowlers in the Centurion Test. With this victory, the host team took a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. After the shameful defeat in Centurion, India’s dream of winning the Test series in South Africa was also shattered. After the match, Michael Vaughan on Fox Sports said that Team India has plenty of resources, yet it has failed to achieve big achievements. Vaughan again let India down Vaughan asked former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh, ‘Do you think that in terms of cricket, India is one of the least achieving teams in the world?’ The Australian veteran asked the same question to Vaughan to which he said, he has not won much in recent times. I think they are an underachieving side. Continuing his talk, Michael Vaughan said, they won the Test series in Australia twice (2018/19 and 2020/21). Brilliant, but could not win the last few World Cups and T20 World Cups. They are a good team, they have a lot of talent, but with the amount of talent they have and the resources they have, I don’t think they will win. Let us tell you that in November 2022, when India lost by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England, Vaughan had called the Men in Blue “underachievers” for the first time. Before the Centurion Test, India had lost in the World Cup 2023 final. Before that, Australia had lost in the World Test Championship final in June. read this also- Ruckus over Mohammad Rizwan’s controversial out, this viral picture created a stir
