But as the session progressed, the pitch got faster.” Meanwhile, South Africa’s batting consultant Ashwell Prince spoke openly about this pitch. Ashwell Prince understands the Cape Town pitch very well and, he too was stunned to see that pitch. He had never seen such bounce and speed on this pitch before.

They said that, “The bowlers were getting a lot of bounce from the Vinberg End, while the ball bowled from the Kelvin Grove End was coming very fast. This variation in bounce made it even more difficult for the batsmen to score runs here.”

“India is an overrated team in Test and T-20” – Srikanth created a sensation with his statement.
Indian Test Team. (Photo Source: SUJIT JAISWAL/AFP, Sydney Seshibedi – Gallo Images/Getty Images) After having a forgettable time on the cricket pitch in 2023, Team India will be looking to make a fresh start in the new year. They face South Africa in the second Test today on Wednesday, January 03 at Newlands, Cape Town. The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a defeat by an innings and 32 runs in the opening game in Centurion and are now looking for a win to level the series. Let us tell you that India is the number one ranked Test team with 118 rating. However, they have failed to win consecutive World Test Championship finals. Former India cricketer Krishnamachari Group is also not very happy with India’s Test performance and has called them an ‘overrated team’. He believes that when Virat was the captain, the team was doing well in Test cricket for 2-3 years. K Srikanth called India an overrated team in Test and T-20. Srikanth said on his YouTube channel, “We are overrated in Test cricket. I think it was the 2-3 year phase…when Virat Kohli was the captain of the team, we were excellent. We dominated in England, we fought hard in South Africa, we won in Australia. We had a good phase for 2-4 years.” Srikanth further said, ‘We have to forget the ICC rankings. We’re always number 1-2, 1-2. It is a mix of overrated cricketers and cricketers who have not performed to their potential. Or some players like Kuldeep (Yadav) who have not got enough opportunities. If you want to be the best team, you must be able to become a giant on home grounds. This is what we did when Rishabh Pant was firing. Talking about India’s performance in limited overs cricket, the former cricketer said that ‘India is more overrated in T20 cricket. ODI cricket, we are a great team. What happens in the semi-finals and finals in ODI is a one-time match. It is a factor of luck, a lot depends on luck in these matches.

“Test cricket is currently in ICU and has been put on ventilator”- Aakash Chopra said about the red ball format.
Many former and current cricketers have criticized Cricket South Africa for preferring SA20 over Test cricket. Regarding this, Chopra has said that the Test cricketer is now in ICU and has been kept on ventilator. He also criticized Pakistan for leaving out Shaheen Afridi from the third Test against Australia to manage his workload ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) starting in early June and the T20 World Cup. Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement regarding test format In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Test cricket is currently in the ICU and has been put on a ventilator. First of all, there are a handful of teams playing Test cricket and even among them there are only three teams left that can afford to play Test cricket. South Africa announced its B team against New Zealand. The reason is that SA20 is about to start, it is their domestic T20 tournament.” Aakash Chopra further said, “Two Test matches of the WTC cycle have come this time. He said let’s leave the Test match and they will play in SA20, from (Aiden) Markram to (Kagiso) Rabada, everyone should be available there (SA20) and the rest of the kids can play Test cricket.” Aakash Chopra was surprised to see that Pakistan decided to give Shaheen Afridi a break after losing the first two matches of the series. The former Delhi batsman said that it had never happened that any Asian country had dropped its leading bowler from the team in Australia. I am seeing this for the first time.

“If he gets out early”- Aakash Chopra told Team India’s plan to win the second test match.

Rohit Sharma and Co. will hope to better their performance in the second and final Test starting in Cape Town on Wednesday, January 3. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that if India get rid of Elgar early then they can take advantage of South Africa’s ‘weak’ batting. Aakash Chopra said that, “The news from South Africa is that Temba Bavuma is not there. This is Dean Elgar’s last test match and he is going to play as a captain. He also said that forget about runs, his eyes are on the trophy. So he will be very excited about it.” The former opening batsman further said, “I still feel that the South African batting is weak. If you remove Dean Elgar, it seems that batting is very normal, but it is very difficult to remove Dean Elgar, he does not get out that easily.” Aakash Chopra believes that if India has to win the second Test match, the batsmen will have to perform well here. He said, “I still think that if India has to do well, they need to bat well. He will have to play five seasons. The truth is that South Africa batted a little more in one innings, while India batted completely in two innings.”
