DTVHINDIBGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”

Some snippets from Team India’s net session at the WACA today. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/XgzhsHzeHX —Chloe-Amanda Bailey (@ChloeAmandaB) November 14, 2024 This Border-Gavaskar Trophy is very important for Team India The first Test match of the BGT series is to be played from November 22 and Team India reached Australia about two weeks before the start of this Test series. Team India recently had to face a 0-3 clean sweep in the home test series against New Zealand, after which this test series has become more important for the Indian team. In fact, if Team India has to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship, then it will have to win this series by at least a margin of 4-0, after which it will reach the final without depending on any other team. In such a situation, Team India will have to win this series at any cost and for this it will be very important for Virat Kohli to perform well.

The first Test match is to be played between India and Australia in Perth from 22 November. This five-match Test series is very important for both the countries. Team India has won the last two series in Australia. But Team India’s recent performance in Tests has not been that good, so there will be pressure on the host team to win the series. This series is very important for Team India from the point of view of the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) because if India wants to reach the final, then they will have to win this series 4-0 at any cost. Before this series, you should know what has been the record of two great players of India, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the history of this series.

However, compared to Virat, Rohit has played only half the matches in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In such a situation, it might not be right to compare them, but we are comparing them because both have played at least 20 innings. In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli has played 42 innings, while Rohit Sharma has played only 20 innings. Both the batsmen have not been able to score even a single double century in Test cricket against Australia. Virat Kohli has scored 1979 runs in BGT, whereas Rohit Sharma has scored only 650 runs so far. Virat Kohli averages 48.26 in the BGT, while Rohit averages 34.21 in the bilateral Test series against Australia. Talking about the strike rate, Virat Kohli has scored runs at a strike rate of 52.25, whereas the strike rate of opener Rohit Sharma has been a little slower than him. Rohit’s strike rate is 51.14.

Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir are constantly facing criticism. After this, Team India now has to play a five-match Test series against Australia under the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Indian captain Rohit Sharma had clearly stated in the press conference held after losing the Test series against New Zealand that India will not play intra-squad matches or practice matches before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. BCCI had already informed that the Indian team will not play intra-squad matches before the Perth Test, but will instead focus on additional practice sessions. Team India will play intra squad match in Australia However, now reports are coming out that the Indian team is going to play intra squad match. Even this match is going to last for three days, which will start from Friday and will continue till Sunday. However, no one will be able to watch this match, because BCCI has decided not to allow entry to anyone in the stadium. Indian players have reached Australia and according to the report of The West Australian, the three-day intra squad match will be played at the WACA in Perth. No one will be able to watch Team India’s practice sessions and intra-squad matches. Even stadium employees are not allowed to use phones and make videos outside the office. Team India has also started practice for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On the first day, Virat Kohli along with R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah did not participate in the practice session, while KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant were seen in the optional session.
“Opening is difficult…not that bounce…”, big statement of former Australian cricketer regarding Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. Yashasvi Jaiswal & Brad Haddin (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is starting from November 22, the first match between the two teams will be played in Perth. Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand. The performance of the batsmen at home against New Zealand has been disappointing, which is a matter of concern. Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15. Take a look at India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar
