Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, India's star batter Virat Kohli reflected on his best knock in Australia, identifying his century during the 2018/19 series as his favourite. Virat, a player often celebrated on Australian soil, consistently generates headlines, catchy articles, and massive viewership whenever he arrives Down Under. While his past performances have matched the hype, this series presents a make-or-break scenario for the superstar. He faces the dual challenge of regaining form and overcoming technical struggles while holding on to his spot in the Test side amid pressure from emerging talent poised to step into the playing eleven.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly names Rishabh Pant as the next-best red-ball batter after stalwart Virat Kohli and predicts him to have a "huge impact" in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Perth on Friday. In just a couple of days, India will begin its quest to keep its hopes of featuring in the World Test Championship (WTC) final alive for the third successive time. With some of the stalwarts finding their rich vein of form, all eyes will fall on the southpaw, who holds an impeccable record against the WTC defending champions.
A young Indian team left everyone utterly impressed after they defeated South Africa in the recently-concluded four-match T20I series. Playing under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, India dominated the Proteas in all the departments and clinched the series with 3-1 scoreline. In the fourth match in Johannesburg, India posted a whopping total of 283/1 and then bundled out South Africa for 148 and won the match by 135 runs. With this win, India broke Pakistan's massive six-year-old T20I record.
Still searching for the first win of the year as well as under head coach Manolo Marquez, India face familiar rivals Malaysia in an international friendly football match in Hyderabad on Monday. India will be bolstered by the return of senior player and central defender Sandesh Jhingan almost 10 months after last playing for the national team at the AFC Asian Cup in January. He has recovered from his anterior cruciate ligament injury. The Indian team has played 10 matches so far in the year, losing six of them and drawing four. They have so far played three games under Manolo, who was appointed head coach in July in place of Igor Stimac, and lost once while drawing twice.
Former India coach Ravi Shastri was uncertain about the cricketing future of Rishabh Pant when he visited him at the hospital a few days after that horrific car accident, and termed the wicketkeeper batter's recovery a "miracle." Pant made a comeback to white ball cricket during the IPL before returning to red-ball cricket through the Duleep Trophy and he was also part of India's recent home Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. "Honestly, if you had seen him you would not have given him a hope in hell to play cricket again," Shastri was quoted as saying by news.com.au.
