Yashasvi Jaiswal looked like a man on a mission for India against Australia on Day 2 of the first Test. His defence was solid while he did shy away from taking his chances against the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and others. In between, he gave some cheeky replies to Australian bowlers too. At stumps on Day 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 90 off 193 balls. His innings included seven fours and two sixes. With his two sixes Jaiswal now has 34 sixes in 2024 - the most maximums hit by any player in Test history.
As India kickstarts the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy tomorrow at Perth's Optus Stadium, young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal is gearing up for his biggest assignment till yet. Jaiswal, who made his Test debut last year in West Indies, has made a strong impressing in his career so far. In 14 Tests, Jaiswal has scored 1,407 runs with the help of eight half-centuries and three tons. He is also India's leading run-scorer in Tests this year, having amassed 1,119 runs so far.
England white-ball skipper Jos Buttler, set to play his first game of competitive cricket after the T20 World Cup semifinal loss to India due to a calf injury sustained in August, has said that he is hungry to play as much as possible and help develop a new limited-overs team for England under head coach Brendon McCullum, who will take over ODI and T20I sides next year. After missing out on months of white-ball action, Buttler is back in Barbados for the first T20I of the five-match series against West Indies.
Former England Test captain Sir Alastair Cook said he would be interested to see if anyone picks veteran pacer James Anderson in the upcoming mega auction for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Anderson, England's leading wicket-taker with 704 scalps, retired from international cricket this year after playing in the Lord's Test against the West Indies in July. He has now registered for the IPL 2025 mega auction at a base price of INR 1.25 crore. Anderson, who now works as a fast-bowling mentor with England, last played a T20 game in 2014 and has never played in the IPL before. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25, and has got a longlist of 1574 players.
Interim England head coach Marcus Trescothick has admitted that it has been a challenging time for the side after losing the ODI series to the West Indies. A packed cricketing schedule meant England included a lot of newbies in their ODI tour of the Caribbean, but lost 2-1 to register their third straight series defeat in the format. “It has been a really challenging time for us. Guys have just finished the Test series in Pakistan. There is another Test series starting in 20 days' time. We know where we are. We have seen some things we have wanted to see,” said Trescothick to TNT Sports at the end of the series.
