"Does More Harm": Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Virat Kohli, Says His Antics vs Australia Put Teammates Under Pressure

Virat Kohli's performance Down Under in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy left more questions than answers. He scored just 190 runs in nine innings at an average of 23.75. He began with a ton but his performance with the bat went downhill from there on. His tendency to poke at delivery moving outside the off-stump led to his downfall again and again. Australia exploited that weakness and got the better of him. All this left a big question mark on his Test future. He was also involved in on-field skirmishes with the rival camp.

"Forget Playing For India": Jasprit Bumrah Sent Stern Message By World Cup Winner Amid Workload Talks

The workload taken by Indian bowlers has been a big topic of discussion following an injury to Jasprit Bumrah in the fifth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25. Bumrah had bowled 151.2 overs in the series, while pace partner Mohammed Siraj bowled 164.1. However, despite the fact that Bumrah's injury could see him be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India's 1983 World Cup-winner Balwinder Singh Sandhu stated that "workload" is a foreign concept, and that a bowler should not aspire to play for India if they cannot bowl 20 overs a day per match.

"Pujara, Rahane Have Shown Hunger": Rohit Sharma Sent Blunt Domestic Cricket Message

India captain Rohit Sharma's hunger for playing Test cricket might be there but it isn't being seen in his actions. The skipper produced one of his most woeful performances on an away tour as India succumbed to a 1-3 defeat against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit's below-par performances with the bat saw him even being benched for the final match in Sydney. While the 37-year-old has maintained that he intends to continue playing Test cricket, former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar wants the commitment to be reflected in his actions.

"If You Score 170-180...": Sourav Ganguly's Stern Verdict On Australia Series Loss

Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly gave a brutal verdict on the Test series loss against Australia and said that Indian batters need to score big in red-ball cricket. Ganguly pointed out that India will not be able to win Tests if they continue to post small totals and advised them to aim at scoring 350-400 in order to provide a solid foundation to the bowlers. India were defeated 1-3 in the five-match Test series against Australia and their loss in the final Test in Sydney ends any hope of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final. While Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has faced a lot of criticism, Ganguly did not single out any player and said that all of them need to score runs for India to win.

The injury incurred by India's top paceman Jasprit Bumrah, in the 5th and final Test against Australia in Sydney, seems to be worse than thought.

A report has claimed that while Bumrah is set to miss the entire white-ball assignment against England - featuring 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs - his participation in the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy is also in danger.
