Border-Gavaskar series starting from 22nd November Irfan Pathan and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian team is going to face Australia very soon in the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) test series. It is noteworthy that the first test match between the two teams will be played on November 22 at Optus Stadium in Perth. However, this series is not going to be easy for India, because recently India had to face 3-0 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand in India. So, if Team India has to perform well against Australia, then the team’s star players Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will have to perform at any cost. On the other hand, before the start of this much-awaited series, Team India’s former all-rounder and T20 World Cup champion player Irfan Pathan has given a big reaction. Irfan has said that Virat Kohli is going to perform well in this series, and he has given two reasons for this. Let us tell you that before the start of BGT, Irrfan has shared a post on his official X account. In this post Irfan said- I believe that Virat Kohli will perform excellently in Australia. First- He plays well against pace. Despite his recent decline in Test form, his numbers against pace remain exceptional. Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches will prove to be its strength. Second- Kohli avoids energy and big challenges. The Australian team will attack it hard and there is no bigger challenge for Australia than playing a Test on its soil. This is the time when Kohli’s competitive spirit really shines. See this post of Irfan Pathan Why I believe Virat Kohli will excel in Australia: 1️⃣ He thrives against pace. Despite his recent dip in Test form, his numbers against pace remain exceptional. Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches will play to its strengths.2️⃣ Kohli feeds off energy and big challenges.

IPL Mega Auction: Irfan Pathan’s big prediction, Starc’s auction record is in danger, this Indian player will break it…..
Irfan Pathan. (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will break Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s record of being the most expensive player in IPL (Indian Premier League) history. Let us tell you that, Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crore during the IPL 2024 mini-auction. Mitchell Starc had overtaken his Australian teammate Pat Cummins’s price of Rs 20.50 crore in the same auction. Cummins was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, Pathan feels that Rishabh Pant can break that record in the upcoming auction as he will be the most sought-after player in the auction. This time, big names like KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Venkatesh Iyer, Ishan Kishan will enter the IPL mega auction. Irfan Pathan tweeted on Twitter and wrote, ‘Mitchell Starc’s auction record is in danger. Rishabh Pant is ready to break it. Rishabh Pant was a part of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 Rishabh Pant was earlier a part of Delhi Capitals and he has also captained that team. Pant was not retained this time and he is going to enter the auction. Lucknow Super Giants, KKR also did not retain their captains and both KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer will enter the auction. The mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 574 players have registered their names for the mega auction, of which 366 are Indian and 208 are foreign players. There are a total of 81 players in the base price of Rs 2 crore. Now it remains to be seen whether this prediction of Irfan Pathan proves correct or not.
