"No One Looked Like Willing To Play Ugly": Ex-India Star Blasts Rohit Sharma And Co After South Africa 1st Test Loss

Former Indian cricket team opener Aakash Chopra believes that Rohit Sharma and Co were not ready to "take body blows and stick around" during the heavy defeat against South Africa in the first Test match in Centurion. India were completely outplayed by the hosts as they lost by an innings and 32 runs. The defeat meant that India will have to wait even more to win their maiden Test series in South Africa. During his analysis on JioCinema, Chopra said there was little fightback from India on Day 3 and except KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, the Indian batters did not look convincing against the Proteas.

"Has To Keep Getting Runs": Shubman Gill Issued Big Warning Over Dwindling Test Form

Batting in South Africa is never easy but a player like Shubman Gill, touted to be the next big thing in Indian cricket, is expected to deliver. As India took on South Africa on Day 1 of the first Test in Centurion, Gill's bat went silent once again, scoring just 2 runs off 12 balls. With the dismissal, Gill's Test average dropped to a poor 31.23, prompting former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar to remind him of the competition that exists in the Indian team.

'Need To Wake Up': Sunil Gavaskar Blasts 'Listless' India On Day 3 Against South Africa

Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar slammed Rohit Sharma and Co for a 'listless' start to the action on Day 3 of the first Test match against South Africa in Centurion on Thursday. Dean Elgar and Marco Jansen were not bothered much by the Indian bowlers and there were even a couple of fielding errors that led to easy runs. Gavaskar was not happy with India's approach in the first session on Day 3 and said that they should have been 'full of energy' at the start of day's play.
