"Can Do Thumbs Up Together": Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne Trolled By Former India Star

Australia couldn't hit the ground running in the opening Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against India in Nagpur, losing the match by an innings and 132 runs. There were huge expectations from the likes of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and others but the star batters couldn't step up to the task and deliver.

As Smith and Labuschagne gear up for the second Test in Delhi, former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad trolled them in epic fashion.

A milestone to savour for marathon man Cheteshwar Pujara

On eve of 100th Test, Cheteshwar Pujara reveals how playing white-ball domestic cricket for Sussex spurred his late-career revivalNEW DELHI: Exactly a year ago, Cheteshwar Pujara's chances of making it to his 100th Test seemed to have diminished drastically when the selectors decided to leave him out for the home series against Sri Lanka.

The pride of representing India in a Test match for the 100th time was unmistakable.Pujara understands he isn't the quintessential hitman like most modern-day batters. He is, instead, the calm in the chaos. "I am the same Cheteshwar as a person. If you speak to people who know me, I am the same person and I don't think you need to change if you are a good human being," he proudly said.Being dropped last year surely shook things up for Pujara. At 34, the wiggle room was very little. He decided to skip IPL auctions, no doubt because he has gone unsold for most of the last six-seven auctions. The deal to play with Sussex in the English county championship came his way. But he needed a clear plan before that stint began.
