Cheteshwar Pujara Namedrops Virat Kohli In Brutal Verdict On India's Batting In 2nd Australia Test

Cheteshwar Pujara believes that India should have batted much better on Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide after the Rohit Sharma-led side was bundled out for just 180. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul put up a 69-run stand but the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals. During his analysis, Pujara namedropped star batter Virat Kohli who failed to impress as he was dismissed for just 7. Pujara said that India should have scored 250 to 275 on the Adelaide pitch and added that although the Indian bowlers hit the right length, it did not work out well for them.

Prithvi Shaw Called "His Own Enemy" By Ex-Coach: "He is God-Gifted But..."

Out-of-favour Indian cricket team batter Prithvi Shaw has been in the headlines lately for all the wrong reasons. Prithvi was dropped from the Mumbai team due to his fitness and the batter did not find any buyer in the IPL 2025 auction. Released by Delhi Capitals, the batter had a base price for Rs 75 lakh but he failed to attract even a single bid. It was a shocking turn of events for a batter who was considered to be a major young talent by experts and was the opening batter for India in Tests just a few years ago. Former India batter Pravin Amre, who coached Prithvi during his time with DC, said that he is "his own enemy" and pointed out that being "God-gifted" is not enough for a cricketer.
