Babar Azam (Pic Source-X) Former player Basit Ali is very happy with Babar Azam’s batting in the first ODI match played against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Let us tell you that in the first ODI match played against Australia, Babar Azam had scored 37 runs in 44 balls with the help of four fours. According to the former player, Babar Azam is very hungry for runs and he has been seen in his best performance after a long time. Babar Azam had made a very good start in this match but the Pakistani batsman was bowled on the excellent ball of Adam Zampa. Basit Ali has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Babar Azam was looking in good form today. Today Babar was playing in top class. However, he went on the back foot against Adam Zampa and had to lose his wicket. It is good to see that Babar Azam is still hungry for runs. This very thing was missing in all formats for a long time but after so many years, he was again seen batting top class. Babar Azam will now have to make big scores: Basit Ali The former player further said, ‘Our people will not be happy at all with 37 runs. Everyone wants Babar Azam to score 137 runs. Similarly, Indian fans will not be happy with Virat Kohli’s inning of 70 runs because they want the experienced batsman to score 170 runs. If big players score 50 runs then it has no importance. However, this 37 runs is a very good sign that Babar will bat even better in the remaining matches. Let us tell you that the second ODI match between these two teams will be played in Adelaide on 8 November. Both the teams would definitely like to win the upcoming match. If Pakistan wants to survive in this ODI series, then it is very important for them to win the second ODI match. Babar Azam will definitely look to score big in this match.

BGT has ended the careers of six players including Dhoni, Sehwag, now it’s Rohit and Virat’s turn!

India, who lost their number one crown in the WTC points table to Australia, have won their last two Test tours of Australia. However, in the meantime, the team coached by Gautam Gambhir has repeatedly flopped in batting on its home ground, which has become a cause of great tension for Team India before this Australia tour. India’s experienced batting line-up failed to score runs, which also included flop shows from big players like captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While Rohit scored 91 runs in six innings against the Kiwis, Kohli scored only 93 runs. After the flop of these two batsmen in this series, questions are now being raised about their future in Test cricket. Fans and some experts have even said that the time for his retirement is near, especially if India fails to make it to the upcoming WTC final. Interestingly, if we look at the history of BGT, six Indian legends ended their careers by playing this series. These six players ended their careers by playing Border-Gavaskar The Test career of 6 big players of India has ended with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which includes the names of former captain MS Dhoni, Sourav Ganguly, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag. The Test career of these great players came to a complete halt after this series. His last series was the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If Team India is not successful in winning this series, then it is possible that the Test career of Virat, Rohit and Ashwin may also come to a complete halt.

Big news: BCCI in action mode after the crushing defeat against New Zealand, these 4 senior players may be discharged!

If India does not qualify for the WTC final, all four senior players may be released. (Photo Source: X) BCCI officials are not happy with the performance of the Indian team in the three-match Test series against New Zealand on home soil. The Rohit Sharma-led team could not put any kind of pressure on the visiting team and suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the series. This is India’s first whitewash on home soil in 24 years. A lot has been said in recent times about the future of Test cricket. However, after the defeat in this home series, BCCI feels that the time for massive changes is coming soon. Questions are being raised on the form of senior cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and according to a source close to BCCI, this could be their last home Test series. Furthermore, the source also said that the upcoming Australia series is extremely important and if the team is unable to qualify for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, immediate action will be taken and changes will be seen in the England series next year. If India does not qualify for the WTC final… A senior BCCI source said, the stock will definitely be taken and it may be of informal nature as the team leaves for Australia on November 10. But it has been a big defeat, but the Australia series is around the corner and the team has already been announced, so there will be no tinkering. The source further said, but if India does not qualify for the WTC final, it is possible that all four super seniors may not travel to the UK for the upcoming five-Test series. In such a situation, all four have probably played their last Test together on home ground.
