‘I haven’t seen Virat like him since the 2018 series’, Marnus Labuschagne on Kohli’s poor form
To reach the WTC final, Team India will have to win the BGT series 4-0. Marnus Labuschagne and Virat Kohli Virat Kohli is performing poorly with the bat at the moment. He is struggling to score runs continuously. He has not scored a century in Tests since the West Indies tour in 2023. Even in the recent Bangladesh and New Zealand series, he could not do anything special. He could score only 93 runs in the three-Test series against New Zealand. In the New Zealand series, all the Indian batsmen were seen struggling against spin. Kohli was also struggling to counter the spin. Indian veterans have also given him suggestions and advice on his poor batting. Meanwhile, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne recalled Kohli’s performance in 2018. He also said that the batsmen are missing the same performance. Labuschagne told Star Sports, my first memory of Virat from a sporting perspective was probably the 2018 series. He was the captain at that time and I think he was very intense. When I watched the series, it was a very intense series. I probably haven’t seen Virat like that after that series. He has been doing well for a long time, but this is my first memory. BGT will have to win 4-0 to reach WTC finals It is noteworthy that after the defeat at the hands of New Zealand on home soil, the Indian team is going to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. India has never lost a BGT series since 2016–17. They have won the series on both occasions since 2016. The BGT 2024-25 series is very important for India, because to reach the World Test Championship final, Team India will have to win this series 4-0. That means it is very important to win at least 4 out of five matches. Currently, Australia is on top in the WTC points table followed by India at second place.

“Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club” – Mohammad Kaif blasts the Kiwi spinner.
Mohammad Kaif speaking and Ajaz Patel. (Source – Getty Images) Former Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif has recently given a shocking statement on New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel. Ijaz played an important role in the Kiwi team’s historic 3-0 Test series win over India. This statement of Kaif has now suddenly come into limelight. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium, Ajaz Patel performed brilliantly and continued his excellent record. The New Zealand team became the first team to achieve a whitewash in a Test series of three or more matches on Indian soil. The feat was achieved largely thanks to his spin bowling, with Patel becoming the team’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 15 wickets, including 11 at the Wankhede Stadium alone. However, in a video shared on social media, Mohammad Kaif dismissed Patel’s achievements. Mohammad Kaif gave a surprising statement regarding Ejaz Patel In the video shared on his X account, Mohammad Kaif said, “Ajaz Patel did not bowl well. If you look at the pitch map, he bowled two full-toss, two short balls and two length deliveries, but still managed to take wickets. Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club.” Ajaz Patel has taken 23 wickets in two matches in Mumbai. However, till date he has not played even a test match on New Zealand soil. Kaif further said about Glenn Phillips, “Glenn Phillips is a part-timer and he does not know how to bowl good balls. We lost to part-timers, not quality spinners. People should say that Ajaz Patel has taken 22 wickets at Wankhede Stadium. He could not even land the ball properly. Ajaz Patel bowled only two good balls in an over and took wickets. The defeat in the final test is shameful. There were no good bowlers in the New Zealand team in the Mumbai Test. Kaif only praised Mitchell Santner, who took 11 wickets in Pune. Kaif said, “Santner bowled well. The bowling he bowled in Pune was a classic Test match performance.”
Out of form, Virat Kohli got Sunil Gavaskar’s support, former player gave a surprising statement before BGT 2024
According to Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli does not have any problem and luck is not favoring him at this time. Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli. (Image Source: ICC/Twitter) The performance of Indian team’s best batsman Virat Kohli has been very poor for some time. The experienced batsman had failed to bat brilliantly in the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand. This is the reason why New Zealand won the three-match Test series played against Team India by 3-0. However, now Team India has to play a five-match Test series against Australia, which is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before the start of this Test series, former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar has presented his side regarding Virat Kohli. According to Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli does not have any problem and luck is not favoring him at this time. According to Sports Tak, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Virat Kohli does not have any problem. Just this time luck is not on their side. We had seen how he batted in Bengaluru. His technique and art are right, he just needs luck at this time. Five-match test series between India and Australia starting from 22nd November 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 the five-match Test series against Australia by a long margin. Virat Kohli failed to leave his mark in the Test series played against New Zealand. He was seen struggling a lot against the spinners. However, the experienced batsman would like to perform brilliantly against Australia and can be seen playing an important role in the victory of the Indian team. Currently, Team India is practicing vigorously for the upcoming Test series. If the Indian team loses the five-match Test series against Australia, then it will be very difficult for them to make it to the final of the World Test Championship.

“Big shots after two-three dot balls…”, Sunil Gavaskar got angry on the mentality of Indian batsmen.
Veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding the mentality of Indian batsmen. Sunil Gavaskar & Team India (Photo Source: The performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Test series against New Zealand was quite disappointing. The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the series. At the same time, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan looked in good form but could not score runs with consistency. Team India is going to play a five-match Test series against Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22. The form of Indian batsmen remains a matter of concern before the start of the series. Meanwhile, former veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding the mentality of Indian batsmen. He said that there was a problem in temperament, due to which the team lost the series. There is more problem of temperament – Sunil Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar believes that the mentality of the players is that if they play a few dot balls then they start playing aerial shots, which is not required in red ball cricket. He stressed that Bharti was losing wickets quickly due to its risk-taking mentality. Sunil Gavaskar while talking on India Today said, Certainly the problem of temperament is more because the temperament is like this now and this is again the legacy of white-ball. Are there two or three dot balls? We have to try to put pressure on the bowlers. So go for the bigger shot, if it’s spectacular then go for the aerial shot. But where the ball is doing something, these chances are very less. So when the technique is there, the temperament is thinking that I can do this because the boundaries are small. The bats are very good, the players are also strong, so we can deliver it in the stands. Let us tell you, if Rohit Sharma and Company are to reach the final of the World Test Championship, they will have to win four out of five matches of the upcoming Test series against Australia.

It is going to be challenging- Rohit Sharma According to Times of India, Rohit Sharma told, We talk a lot about the game, but sitting down with every individual and telling them what to do or how to correct their mentality is going to be challenging. They come with a certain mindset, a certain way of thinking about their game. This has brought them success in the past. But we all understand that Australia is going to be a different ball game. Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are playing for the first time in the Indian team for Australia tour. The Indian captain said that the atmosphere in the dressing room will be easy for the young players, because they will be playing in Australia for the first time. For young players who haven’t been there before, it will be important to create an environment where they are comfortable and not intimidated by where they are playing and who they are playing against. It is important that from our side, we keep telling them that this is another place to play cricket.
