Time For Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma To Retire? "If They Are Not Announcing, Selectors Need To...": Ex-India Star

With India failing to prevent Australia from winning the Melbourne Test, former India cricketer Surinder Khanna took a dig at Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma over their poor form in recent matches in the longest format of the game. "What are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli doing? Remove attention from Rishabh Pant. He used to play like this only from day one. He will continue to make such mistakes. Tell me about Kohli and Rohit, what have they doing since the last 40-45 innings? They should automatically sit outside if selectors are not doing it then they should do it themselves. You and I can't throw them out. The kind of form they are in then even if you will bowl, they will get out. I am saying this by experience. The shot which is their scoring one, why should not they play? David Gower and Gundappa Vishwanath scored so many runs by playing cut shots," Surinder Khanna told ANI.

"On The Wrong Side...": Rohit Sharma Breaks Silence On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Controversial Dismissal In MCG

First undone by an unfortunate run-out, then denied a century by a controversial third umpire call, Yashasvi Jaiswal had quite a drama-filled outing against Australia in the 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Jaiswal came close to scoring a century in both the innings but had to return to the dressing room in the 80s on both occasions. His dismissal in the second innings, however, triggered a huge controversy, with the third umpire deciding to overturn the on-field umpire's call despite Snicko not showing a spike. In the press conference, India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that the team was "unfortunate" about the decision made by the third umpire.

Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was once again the top performer as he claimed a five-wicket haul during the fourth Test encounter against Australia in Melbourne. With Australia in a dominant position, Bumrah's figures were extremely important and out of the 82 overs bowled by India in the second innings, the star pacer bowled 24 overs. Overall, he bowled 53.2 overs in the match and it was only the third time when he bowled more than 50 overs in a Test. While the performance was not hampered at all, Bumrah was heard telling Rohit towards the end of Day 4 that he will not be able to bowl anymore and was struggling to put in an effort. 'Bas ab, nahi laga raha zor (Enough now. I cannot find strength anymore)', Bumrah was heard saying on the stump-mic.

"Rohit Sharma Would Not Be In XI Had He Not Been The Captain": T20 World Cup Winner Rips Into Star

"Zero Confidence...": Pat Cummins Gives Clear Take On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Ultra Edge Row

Australian skipper Pat Cummins on Monday said it's tough to repose full “confidence” on ultra-edge technology but maintained that India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal had clearly edged him behind the stumps to Alex Carey. Jaiswal was batting on 84 when he tried to pull a short-pitched delivery from Cummins, only to be collected by Carey. As on-field umpire Joel Wilson did not uphold the appeal, it was referred to the third umpire. Ibne Saikat, third umpire from Bangladesh, however, overruled the on-field decision despite the Snicko not showing any spike.
