"Australia Will Have Several Surprise Inclusions For England Tour": Ricky Ponting

Legendary cricketer Ricky Ponting has predicted some surprise inclusions in the Australian squad for the World Test Championship (WTC) final and the Ashes in England from the one that is currently touring India. Australia secured a place in the WTC final at The Oval in June after collecting the required percentage points following their nine-wicket win against India in the third Border-Gavaskar Test at Indore recently.

Spotlight On India's Batting Unit As Rohit Sharma's Men Seek WTC Final Spot

India's batting megastars will be desperate to clear the cobwebs from their head in pursuit of a second successive World Test Championship final berth as they take on Australia in the series-deciding fourth Test here from Thursday. The equation remains simple for the hosts. Win the series 3-1 and don't depend on the result of Sri Lanka's away rubber in New Zealand for a ticket to summit WTC clash in June.

"Should've Played Ranji Trophy": Ex-India Star Calls Out Players' 'Negative Mindset'

Indian batters haven't managed to get going in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. The 2-1 lead that India hold at the moment has more to do with the spinners' performance than the batters. Barring Rohit Sharma in the first Test, none of the Indians have managed to touch the triple-digit mark in the series so far. When asked about the team's preparation for the series, Gautam Gambhir had no hesitation in suggesting that the players should've played a few Ranji Trophy games before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
