Sanjay Manjrekar Labels This India Star 'Rare Batting Talent', But Provides Case Where He May Be Dropped

Cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar sees a "rare batting talent" in young Nitish Kumar Reddy. But he dropped a subtle hint about the dilemma regarding his place in the playing XI by suggesting the need for the Indian team to make its bowling attack sharper. The 21-year-old could arguably be the find of the series for India just after the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series in Australia. When Indian batting stalwarts stood clueless in Perth and Adelaide, Nitish stole the limelight with a barrage of aggressive strokes, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with.

"Stung By Criticism": Australia Legend Explains Motivation For Team's Massive 2nd Test Win vs India

Legendary wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist believes Australia were "stung" by the criticism following their loss in Perth, but have returned to their best, driven by captain Pat Cummins' controlled aggression. Australia, who had drawn a lot of flak for the 295-run loss in the opening Perth Test, bounced back by registering an emphatic 10-wicket win in the second game to level the five match series 1-1. "You could see just through his (Cummins) celebrations that… every wicket that he took he was more aggressive in his celebration," Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket.

'Not Focusing Solely On Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah': Australia Star's Blunt Remark On Team India

India is a team of superstars, and Australia is not focused on countering just 'extraordinary' players like Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli, but the entire group as everyone is incredibly talented, spinner Nathan Lyon said on Wednesday.

Young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal won the battle of nerves against Australia's experienced bowling quartet -- Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon -- in the 1st Test in Perth.

Virat Kohli vs Jasprit Bumrah In Nets: Video Of Intense Training Between India Duo Goes Viral

Witnessing Virat Kohli's batting or Jasprit Bumrah's bowling is a pure delight for the cricket fans. While Kohli is among the greatest batters the world has ever witnessed, such is the case with Bumrah in fast bowling. Kohli is a batter that barely any bowler wants to bowl to. On the other hand, Bumrah also maintains a similar stature. Even in their wildest of dreams, the batters would not want to face the Indian pacer, who is just a master of his art.
