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.

If he had played the shot towards mid-on instead of mid-wicket, he might not have been out. The ball was not straight at all and it was clearly visible when the ball was hitting the bat.

“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

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?

Vaughan again let India down Vaughan asked former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh, ‘Do you think that in terms of cricket, India is one of the least achieving teams in the world?’ The Australian veteran asked the same question to Vaughan to which he said, he has not won much in recent times. I think they are an underachieving side. Continuing his talk, Michael Vaughan said, they won the Test series in Australia twice (2018/19 and 2020/21). Brilliant, but could not win the last few World Cups and T20 World Cups. They are a good team, they have a lot of talent, but with the amount of talent they have and the resources they have, I don’t think they will win. Let us tell you that in November 2022, when India lost by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup semi-final against England, Vaughan had called the Men in Blue “underachievers” for the first time.

Shubman Gill (Pic Source-TWITTER) Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain was recently asked to choose the young cricketers whom he considers to be the future superstars of the game. The former England captain immediately picked India’s Shubman Gill and New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra and explained why these two players can rule the cricket world in the future. However, Nasir Hussain also believes that Gill would have learned a lot by batting with Indian captain Rohit Sharma, calling the young player a super talent and a big star for the future of Team India. Nasir Hussain praised Shubman Gill fiercely In the video shared by ICC, Nasir Hussain said, “I am going with Shubman Gill. I think three-quarters, nine-tenths of them in 2023 were very good. Having players like Rohit Sharma at the other end, he must have learned a lot. Maybe, in the end, that illness bothered him a bit and his form deteriorated. He is a super talent and he is going to be the next sensation for India in the coming years. Hopefully 2024 will be good for him.” Furthermore, Hussain lauded the performance of youngster Rachin Ravindra, who impressed everyone with his performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers of the competition. Hussain expressed hope that Ravindra will continue his excellent performance in future also. Hussain said, “And the man who lit up the World Cup was Rachin Ravindra. Before going to the World Cup, I saw him for a while in England. He came in lower down the order at Lord’s and created a stir all around. I thought, he can play. When he was given a chance in the top order, he performed brilliantly there. Hopefully, he will continue his form.” Also read: What is Hardik Pandya proving by posting the video with his son?
