Cheteshwar Pujara's Bold Team Selection Verdict For Pink-Ball Test, No Place For...

Team India's dominant 295-run victory against Australia in Perth has given the management a big selection headache. India's playing XI for the series opener didn't feature the veterans Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, while Harshit Rana was preferred over Akash Deep. As the experts mull over the changes that will be brough to India's team for the day-night Test in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara has warned against tinkering with the bowling attack. Pujara feels both Ashwin and Jadeja should warm the bench for the pink-ball Test too.

The Indian cricket team reached Adelaide after a successful pink-ball practice game in Canberra. As the players prepare for the day-night Test against Australia, a few players went shopping at the airport. The likes of Sarfaraz Khan and Washington Sundar tried a few hats before taking their flight to Australia, with the latter also deciding to buy one. However, Sundar couldn't prevent himself from facing Sarfaraz's quips as he tried a few hats. Sundar's hat shopping also earned him a new nickname 'Mogambo', from none other than the funny Sarfaraz.

Rohit Sharma To Bat At No. 5-6 vs Australia? Harbhajan Singh's Huge 'Best Interest' Verdict

Captain Rohit Sharma will either open or bat at number three in the Adelaide Test against Australia, reckoned former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh on Monday while ruling out the possibility of a senior star coming in at number five or six. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal added a record 201 runs for the opening stand during the second innings of the Perth Test, which the visitors won by 295 runs with plenty of time left in the match. "I don't see Rohit coming in at number five or six. Either Rohit will open with Yashasvi Jaiswal, with KL Rahul coming in at number three, or he will bat no later than number three," Harbhajan told PTI on the sidelines of the inauguration of the World Tennis League here.

"One 5-for In 10 Years": R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja Sent Blunt Message As India Ponder 2nd Test XI

He is a bonafide legend with 536 Test wickets but imminent future isn't looking bright for Ravichandran Ashwin, who might not get to roll his arm in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy unless any of the remaining four tracks warrants two spinners. If the tracks on offer continue to assist seam and bounce like in Perth, the 38-year-old may find it very difficult to make it to the playing eleven unless team management's first choice Washington Sundar bowls badly. But even in that case, Ravindra Jadeja, with superior batting credentials in SENA countries, is expected to get the nod ahead of the Chennai tweaker.

'Is He Crying?': Rohit Sharma's Reaction To Sarfaraz Khan's Dismissal Goes Viral. Watch

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma was left frustrated in the dugout following Sarfaraz Khan's dismissal during the pink-ball warm-up encounter against Australia Prime Minister's XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Sunday. During the 44th over of the Indian innings, Rohit was seen signaling to the two batters out in the middle - Sarfaraz and Washington Sundar - to go for big shots. However, just three balls later, Sarfaraz was caught down the leg side by the wicket-keeper off the bowling of Jack Clayton. Sarfaraz seemed confused after he was given out and in the dressing room, Rohit covered his head in disappointment.
