"You Haven't Crossed 40 Outside Asia": Shubman Gill Blasted By Ex-India Star

Team India incurred another top-order collapse in the first innings of the Brisbane Test. Barring KL Rahul, none of the top batters in the team managed to withstand Australian bowlers. Gill, who occupies the No. 3 spot in the Indian Test team, is one of those batters from whom the cricket world has big expectations but the tour of Australia hasn't gone as planned for him. Against Australia at the Gabba in the first innings, Gill only scored 1 run before being removed by Mitchell Starc. Former India opener Aakash Chopra raised serious questions on Gill's credentials.

"Can Virat Kohli Do That?": Ex-India Star Namedrops Sachin Tendulkar In Massive Advice

Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continued in the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane as the star batter was dismissed cheaply once again. Kohli's problems with balls outside the off-stump once again proved to be his downfall as he edged a delivery off Josh Hazlewood to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Former India batter Aakash Chopra believes that Kohli should have left the ball alone considering his struggles against similar deliveries. Chopra also recalled Sachin Tendulkar's 241 in Sydney where he did not play a single cover drive and remarked that Kohli should take inspiration from that knock.

'Always Been A Bit Of Thorn For Us': Australia Pacer Mitchell Starc's Unique Praise For Newly-Retired Ravichandran Ashwin

Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc has paid a glorious tribute to the just-retired India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, saying he has been "a bit of a thorn" for their side in some of the memorable contests Down Under. Ashwin, India's premier off-spinner, on Wednesday surprised the cricketing world by announcing his retirement in the middle of the Test series against Australia. He retired from the game as the second-highest wicket-taker for India in Tests with 537 scalps from 106 matches, placing him only behind the legendary Anil Kumble (619 wickets).

Day 4 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy third Test between India and Australia saw the game being halted on multiple occasions due to rain at The Gabba in Brisbane. The continuous interruptions left Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc visibly frustrated. Starc's helplessness at the situation was on display, as he could be seen almost urging the umpires to continue despite the rain. The weather in Brisbane caused Day 1 and Day 3 to almost be entirely washed out, and also impacted the Day 4 play to a great extent.

All but set to bat for the second time, India produced an epic fight-back on Day 4 of the third Test against Australia on Tuesday to deny escape follow-on. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja laid the foundation of Team India's fightback but it was the unbeaten 39-run partnership of Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah that pulled India out of the follow-on situation. Both Akash and Bumrah produced some lofty shots during their stay on the crease, while also showing their resolute defence.

'Perfect In Practice': Michael Vaughan's Brutal Dig At Yashasvi Jaiswal. Ravi Shastri In Disbelief

It seemed that Yashasvi Jaiswal had devised a plan to counter Mitchell Starc's new ball threat. However, just two balls into India's first innings of the ongoing third Test against Australia, Starc had Jaiswal caught at forward square leg. After India bowled Australia out for 445 early in the morning session on Day 3, Jaiswal was taking throw-downs before the start of India's innings. He flicked one towards the Australian team's huddle, but the ball hit the leg of Cricket Australia's cameraman.
