The entire world held its breath and there has been a slow recovery. You follow on social media, on my phone and from the first steps to the gym scenes and then the scenes of him playing. Ricky (Ponting) is following him closely. I traveled with Ricky for the Ashes, and Ricky was messaging him to see how the progress was going and he’s a box office cricketer.” Rishabh Pant’s accident happened on 30 December 2022 On the morning of December 30, 2022, a tragic incident shook the hearts of Indian cricket fans as Rishabh Pant met with a horrific car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun Highway.

Playing in his last series after announcing his retirement, the 36-year-old blew away India’s bowling with a brilliant inning of 185 runs off 287 balls. His innings gave the host team a huge lead of 163 runs in the first innings. Due to his innings, South Africa had to bat only one innings in the test match. South Africa won the match Winning by an innings and 32 runs, they took a 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. While talking to Star Sports after that match, Irfan Pathan said that Dean Elgar is weak against the short pitch ball and he is not able to score runs easily there. 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. With Temba Bavuma injured, the left-handed batsman will captain South Africa in the second Test starting on January 3 in Cape Town.

“Such useless bowling… yet Rohit Sharma did not say anything to him” – DK said about Shardul and Prasidh Krishna
India lost the first Test against South Africa at the SuperSport Park, Centurion by an innings and 32 runs to go down 0-1 in the two-match series. In response to South Africa’s mammoth score of 408 runs, thanks to a brilliant century by Dean Elgar (185) in the first innings, the Rohit Sharma-led team could only score 245 and 131 runs in both the innings. After India’s defeat, Team India’s wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik strongly criticized the pair of Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna, who failed to provide any assistance to Jasprit Bumrah in bowling during the match. Commenting on his performance, Karthik said that Thakur was in the last series in South Africa as well but despite this, he had an ordinary performance this time. Rohit Sharma was very kind towards Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna – Dinesh Karthik Speaking on a Cricbuzz show, Dinesh Karthik said, “Shardul and Prasidh definitely need to improve their game. Rohit was very kind to him when he said that he is a young bowler. But Shardul was in the last series also. He performed very well. But this time it was a very normal performance. Prasidh Krishna is a young bowler and this shows that he does not have much first-class experience. He was giving more than one boundary ball. There was no control there and that is never a good sign in Test cricket. He further said that India missed Mohammed Shami, who has been ruled out of the series due to an ankle injury. He further named Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar who worked brilliantly as the second or third seamer. Karthik further said, “In the last few years, India has prided itself on how good its bowling attack has been. But you can see that without Mohammed Shami, this Indian attack is not what it used to be. Before this, we had Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar. “They gave us the least continuity and that was largely lacking today.” Also read: What is the complete schedule of Team India for the next three months, know in one click

According to him, Rohit Sharma’s record outside India is quite useless and he has also questioned his place in the playing XI. 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? The second and final Test match between South Africa and India starts from January 3. Let us tell you, the second and final Test match between South Africa and India is starting from January 3 in Cape Town. In the first test match, the bowlers of the Indian team were not able to bowl well and this was the reason why they had to face defeat.
