The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. India’s batting line-up faltered badly on the spinning pitches of Pune and Mumbai and the team scored 156,245, 263 and 121. Meanwhile, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has revealed some techniques to help Indian players improve their game. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave these suggestions to counter spin Navjot Singh Sidhu’s old advice regarding playing spin has resurfaced, which is going viral on social media. He further added to this with a four-point “playbook” for the Indian batsmen while tweeting on social media on November 6. Navjot Singh Sidhu first advised to “move forward often to confuse the spinner’s mind, it will force him to guess”. He suggests that by moving forward on the pitch, batsmen can disrupt the bowler’s rhythm and foil his plans. His second point is “Point of No Return” – the point of the bowler’s delivery. “Make sure you move when it is at the point of no return (point of delivery). “It comes from instinct and hours of practice.” Playing spin on turning tracks – 1 stepping out often to the spinner to clutter his mind, keep him guessing…. 2 ensure that you step out when he is at a point of no return (point of delivery), it comes with instinct and hours of practice 3 watch his wrist like a hawk till the… — Navjot Singh Sidhu (@sherryontopp) November 6, 2024 Sidhu then continued his suggestion by asking the batsmen to look closely at their hands before throwing the ball. “Keep an eye on your wrist like a hawk till the end to code the delivery,” he said, adding that this will help batsmen understand which way the ball will turn and adjust their reaction accordingly. Lastly, Sidhu advised to have a little forward movement so that both front foot and back foot are ready to explore the shot. “A small initial forward movement allows you to adjust to playing the ball late and moving back and forth,” he explained, adding that committing too early can put the batsman in a precarious position. “Swoop or commit, and you are at the mercy of the bowler – like a dying duck in a storm,” he warned.

Let us tell you that Prithvi Shaw had made a spectacular international debut for Team India. He scored an important century in his Test debut in 2018 against West Indies. However, the experienced player has been dropped from the Mumbai team of Ranji Trophy. According to the team management, Prithvi Shaw’s fitness is not good at the moment and that is why he has been dropped from the Mumbai squad. Greg Chappell wrote in his letter, ‘Hello Earth, I can understand whatever problem you are facing at this time. You will be very sad to be out of Mumbai team. This is really a bad thing but these moments are the turning points of an athlete. This will improve your career and you will also see a lot of change within you. I have full hope that you will be seen performing brilliantly once again. Setbacks are a part of every great athlete’s story. Legendary players like Sir Don Bradman were also dropped from the team and he made a very good comeback. He has not run away from the challenge and has faced it brilliantly. I have also had a drop in my career but it has been a memorable experience. What’s happened before doesn’t tell you anything about Earth: Greg Chappell Greg Chappell further wrote in his letter, ‘I remember seeing you in the India U-19 team in which you performed tremendously and it was really great to see you playing. Those who know about your abilities are watching your journey carefully and we all know that your best performance is yet to come. Whatever has happened before does not represent you, Earth. You are still going through your best time and we are confident that you will return to the team even better. A player has to go through all these things in his cricketing career.

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.
