"Many Infamous Records Have Already Been Created In Gautam Gambhir's Tenure": Ex-India Star
Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India head coach so far has not been a memorable one for sure. It all started with India's tour of Sri Lanka. While the visitors won the T20I series 3-0, they lost the three-match ODI series 2-0. India then thoroughly outplayed Bangladesh in a two-match Test series and a similar performance was expected from them during their three-match series against New Zealand that followed. However, what happened was the exact opposite of the expectations as the Blackcaps outplayed India in the first two Tests to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 with a match to go.

India Hand New Zealand Control After Batting Flop Show On Day 1 In 3rd Test
India's batters lost the plot in a matter of 20 minutes, leaving the side at a jittery 86/4 after Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar gave the hosts the early bragging rights by dismissing New Zealand for 235 on an eventful day one of the third and final Test in Mumbai on Friday. Jadeja (5/65) and Sundar (4/81) did their job to perfection but India's batting continued to be a weak link as the side lost three wickets in the space of eight balls, starting with Yashasvi Jaiswal's (30) inexplicable reverse slog sweep. With his 14th five-for in Tests, Jadeja also moved ahead of former pace bowling teammates Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma to climb to the fifth spot in the list of highest wicket-takers for India in the format.

"Our Batters Need To Perform": Ravindra Jadeja After 5-Wicket Haul In 3rd Test Against New Zealand
Ravindra Jadeja is happy with another five-wicket haul in Test cricket but conceded that in sultry conditions on a slow turner, bowling indeed was hardwork. Jadeja's 14th five-wicket haul came after a brief period of lull as he looked menacing while mixing deliveries, pitching it on good length spots and letting the variable bounce and abrasive surface work in his favour. However Jadeja's assessment of the track was also an indicator that possibly Ravichandran Ashwin has lost a bit of pace in his deliveries as it required more shoulder effort to get the zip off the surface.

Cut Down The Chatter: Rohit Sharma, Sarfaraz Khan Sent Strong Message By Umpire In 3rd Test vs NZ. Here's Why
Indian fielder Sarfaraz Khan was on Friday warned by the umpires in the presence of skipper Rohit Sharma for chirping even when the ball was in play, during New Zealand's first innings in the third and final Test of the 2024 series at the Wankhede Stadium. Umpire Richard Illingworth called up Sarfaraz and Rohit and the three had a long animated discussion before the 32nd over of the innings. The umpires were apparently unhappy as Sarfaraz, fielding close to the bat, was engaging in verbals even when the ball became alive.
