David Warner Out Of Last Two Tests Against India In Australia's Deepening Injury Crisis

Australia batter David Warner is out of the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to a hairline fracture on their left elbow, Cricket Australia has confirmed. Warner was substituted out of the second Test in New Delhi after sustaining a concussion last week. That blow came not long after the opening batter had been struck on the arm by another rising delivery. Later x-rays revealed that the left-hander had sustained a hairline fracture of the elbow which will keep him out of the remaining two matches of the Test series. However, the southpaw is expected to return for the ODI series later.

"Tables Have Turned": Ramiz Raja's 'Tailor-Made' Dig At Australia As India Retain Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman and captain Ramiz Raja has claimed that it is impossible to beat the Indian team on their own soil. If it wasn't for Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja on Day 3 of the second Test at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, Australia could have entertained hopes of squaring the series and reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, the spin twins managed to turn the tide in favour of the hosts as they cast a web around the Aussie batters, triggering a collapse. With the Aussies losing the plot and their wickets in a heap, the hosts were left to chase a paltry target to take an assailable lead in the series.

Watch: When Axar Patel told Ravindra Jadeja 'Meri toh bowling hi nahi aa rahi', this is how Jaddu replied

Jadeja's return to the Indian Test team from injury keeps getting better, as showcased by the latest highlight of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series, where the all-rounder took 7 for 42 to deflate Australia and lay the foundation of India's six-wicket win in the second Test in Delhi. But what Jadeja's comeback has also done is that it has limited fellow left-armer Axar Patel's visits to the bowling crease. Jadeja has taken the series by a storm, with both bat and ball. Starting with a five-wicket haul and a half-century in Nagpur, Jadeja continues to rattle the Australians, especially with his spin. In his absence, Axar was on a roll with the ball. With that as the premise, Axar jokingly remarked during his conversation with Jadeja on a BCCI video: "Sir, meri toh bolwing aa nahi rahi (I am not getting a chance to bowl)."
