"Forgot About Bowling Himself": Australia Great Pin Points Pat Cummins' Mistakes In Delhi Test

The legendary Allan Border feels Pat Cummins had a lot to worry about as the series against India was his "first real test as captain" and in the process under-bowled himself in the second Test in Delhi. Australia conceded the four-match series for the Border Gavaskar Trophy after losing the opening two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi. Cummins, who had faced just one defeat as captain before coming to India, was the sole quick in the Australian playing XI in the six-wicket loss in Delhi. He bowled just 13 overs in the first innings and didn't bowl at all in India's second essay.

"In Indian Cricket History...": Gautam Gambhir's Incredible Remark On Veteran Batter

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir lavished praise on India's Test player Cheteshwar Pujara.

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)."

Travis Head's onslaught on the second evening of the Delhi Test had caused "panic" in the Indian camp but skipper Rohit Sharma had a long chat with his three spinners to ensure the hosts did not waver from their original plans. With his attacking 39 not out, Head, opening the innings for the first time in the absence of injured David Warner, surprised the hosts and took Australia to 61 for one at close of play on day two of the second Test. Rohit sensed panic, prompting him to speak to his seasoned spin trio of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel before start of play on Sunday morning.
