Rishabh Pant Taken To Test Cricket Like A Duck To Water: Rahul Dravid

Former India head coach Rahul Dravid, while sharing his thoughts on Rishabh Pant's match-winning 89 not out against Australia at the Gabba during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, has said that the wicketkeeper batter has "taken to Test cricket like a duck to water" and called his performance in the red-ball format "sensational." Pant's heroic innings came on the final day of the fourth and final Test, with India chasing a daunting target of 328. His counterattacking style not only secured a historic 3-wicket victory but also ended Australia's 32-year unbeaten streak at the Gabba, sealing the series 2-1 for India.

Shafali Verma, dropped from the India ODI squad, has the full backing of skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who is eager to see the aggressive opener back in her "zone" ahead of Women's World Cup at home next year.

"She (Shafali) is a very important player for us and has done exceptionally well for the country. We are looking forward to seeing her get back into her zone and perform well for the team," Harmanpreet said on the eve of their series-opener against Australia.

Ahead of the pink-ball, day-night Test against Australia, India batter KL Rahul opened up on batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal during the Perth Test win, saying that he saw a little bit of younger him in the 22-year-old who is also making his first trip to Australia like Rahul did back in 2014.

India will aim to address their batting inconsistency in the upcoming women's ODI series against the mighty Australia, starting here Thursday, aiming to finalise their combination ahead of the Women's World Cup next year. The Indian team heads Down Under after securing a 2-1 home ODI series win over New Zealand. However, it was fairly evident that India's batting was not in top shape. In a bid to rejig stuff the tourists have dropped out-of-form opener Shafali Verma from the squad. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side would know that it has a huge task cut out against Australia who have historically dominated them in 50-overs cricket.
