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.

Nasir Hussain gave a big statement praising Pakistan on the test series win against England

Pakistan has recently defeated England 2-1 in the Test series. Nasser Hussain (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England ended. England defeated host Pakistan by 7 wickets on the flat pitch of Multan. But in the two matches that followed, Pakistan performed brilliantly. The hosts won the third T20 match in Rawalpindi by 9 wickets, defeating England 2-1 in the Test series. On the other hand, on this spectacular victory of Pakistan against England, former captain Nasir Hussain has given a big statement praising it. Hussain praised Pakistan’s bold decision to include players like Noman Ali and Sajid Khan after the first Test. He also candidly admitted that England failed to cope with the difficult conditions, which led them off track. Nasir Hussain praised Pakistan Let us tell you that after the end of the three-match Test series between Pakistan and England, Nasir Hussain said in a discussion with Sky Sports – Congratulations to Pakistan for that change. They lost six consecutive tests and the fans and supporters were not happy with the team’s performance. Different pitches and selectors and he found a solution to batchball. They have high quality spinners and they have players who play spin very well. When the ball spins, it has exposed England. When the pitch spins and it holds, England do not play spin or bowl spin like Pakistan. Because the pitches have been very different from the first Test to the second and third Test. There is no doubt that the scores should go down and the spinners should go up. But, the inconsistency in the England team is a matter of concern. It doesn’t have to be so hard that you play so well on flat pitches, and you can cross the line, but as soon as it helps the spinners, it catches you. By not playing well, you lose.

This is something he is very good at. New Zealand took a lead of 301 runs over India On the other hand, if we talk about the ongoing second Test match in Pune, in response to New Zealand’s first innings score of 259 runs, India’s first innings was reduced to just 156 runs.

This was a risk we were ready to take: Rohit Sharma In the second Test match played against Bangladesh, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted brilliantly and crossed the 50-run mark in the first three overs. Till now, no team has crossed the 50-run mark so quickly in the Test format. Not only this, the team had scored 100 runs in 10.1 overs, which is an incredible record in itself. Regarding this, Rohit Sharma had said after the match that, ‘The batsmen should play with this mentality and look to score as many runs as possible.

“Only if there is a strong bowling line-up…”, Gautam Gambhir said a big thing while praising Virat Kohli’s captaincy

The great thing you did was that you (Kohli) created a very strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty/X) A new era of Indian Test cricket began under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. India won 40 out of 68 Test matches, which is the most Test matches won by any Indian captain in history. Kohli changed the nature of the team and focused on the growth of fast bowlers. During Virat Kohli’s tenure, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav dominated in overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli for building a strong bowling line-up during his tenure. Virat has created a strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir During a conversation with BCCI, Gautam Gambhir told Virat Kohli, The great thing you did was that you built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets. Unless you have a strong bowling line-up (one cannot win) and that is what makes you the most successful Test captain of the country. Credit goes to you. As a batsman, it is easy to have a strong six, seven batsmen, but the way you identified and more importantly, your attitude on the field with the fast bowlers. Winning overseas with bowlers like Shami, Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India has won Test matches in England, South Africa and Australia, where the team used to struggle earlier. Let us tell you, Team India was number-1 in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021. Bumrah is the most complete bowler across all formats: Virat Kohli Talking about the bowling culture of Team India, Virat Kohli emphasized that Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. While Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary players. He described Bumrah as an all-format bowler and Mohammed Shami as the most important player in the Test team. When you talk about Ishant Sharma, the first thing that comes to my mind is the match he played against Ricky Ponting (during the 2007-08 tour) in Perth. If you talk about his cricket career, Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. Zaheer Khan has taken a lot of wickets for India in Test cricket and was brilliant in the 50-over World Cup. Mohammed Shami is not a world famous bowler because he is a great T20 bowler. He is one of the best Test bowlers in the world and what he did in the 50-over World Cup has increased his importance even more. Bumrah is the most complete bowler in all formats.
