"Greatest Of All Time": Michael Vaughan Reserves Massive Praise For Australia Bowling Quartet
Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that Australia's frontline bowling quartet of Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are arguably the nation's best of all time and are key to victory for Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India at home. India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia the last two times it was played there in 2018/19 and 2020/21. Moreover, Australia have not won the series since 2014-15, when they won 2-0 on the home soil.
"Only Got 90 Runs Against Kiwis": Brett Lee Burns Virat Kohli's Critics With Fiery Remark
Does Virat Kohli deserve a place in the Indian Test team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia? If only stats were to be considered, the talismanic batter might not get the selectors' nod for the assignment Down Under. However, the reputation Virat has built over the years, especially through his knocks in Australia, makes him a player who cannot be dropped. In the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand, Kohli didn't even cross the 100-run mark cumulatively. Yet, Australian cricket legend Brett Lee feels Kohli is the man to watch out in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Shami, who remains one of the most sought-after pacers in the Indian spectrum, lashed out at Manjrekar after the latter predicted a drop in the pacer's price tag at the IPL auction. While Manjrekar has no doubts that there would be a host of teams after Shami in the auction, he doesn't feel the pacer would bag more than INR 6.25 crore, which he did by the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 auction.

Gautam Gambhir Gets Unexpected 'Virat Kohli Suggestion' Ahead Of Perth Test
The absence of captain Rohit Sharma and batter Shubman Gill has thrown open a challenge for the Indian team management ahead of the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. India don't just need to find another opener to bat alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal but also a No. 3 batter to replace the injured Gill. While the names of KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal have been reported for the two spots, India's 1983 World Cup-winning star Kirti Azad feels head coach Gautam Gambhir should play Virat Kohli at the No. 3 spot.
