"When You're 36, 37 Years Old...": Sunil Gavaskar's Brutal Verdict On Rohit Sharma's Form

Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar raised concerns over Rohit Sharma's diminishing reflexes, suggesting that age might be catching up with the Indian skipper after his lazy dismissal in the ongoing Boxing Day Test against Australia on Friday. Gavaskar highlighted flaws in the 37-year-old's footwork, which have become more apparent during his struggles in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit's decision to return to the opening slot in the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, partnering with Yashasvi Jaiswal and relegating KL Rahul to No. 3, failed to yield results.

"Pathetic, Never Happened In History": Ex-BCCI Selector Brutally Roasts Rohit Sharma

Former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad has criticised India captain Rohit Sharma for his captaincy and batting failures. Prasad's remarks came while on commentary duty during Day 2 of the ongoing 4th Test against Australia, with Rohit registering another low score in India's first innings. Rohit managed just three runs as he was dismissed by opposition captain Pat Cummins for the fifth time in his Test career. Prasad, who was part of the selection committee from September 2016 to March 2020, also said that Rohit has not been "proactive" as a captain too, labelling India's recent series lost to New Zealand as "pathetic".

Reddy to the rescue as India fight back in Melbourne test

MELBOURNE :In a Boxing Day clash energised by next-gen talent, India's rookie all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy celebrated a stirring, maiden century on Saturday to give the visitors hope of saving the fourth test against Australia.

4th Test, Day 3: Gutsy Nitish Reddy's Maiden Ton Keeps India Afloat vs Australia

Nitish Reddy, an unknown entity in red ball cricket before the start of Border-Gavaskar series, virtually bailed India out with his dogged maiden Test century in Melbourne on Saturday, severely denting Australia's hopes of winning the Boxing Day contest. Reddy's unbeaten 105 took India to 358 for nine, still 116 runs short of Australia's first innings score of 474 as rain brought an early end to the third day's play. With the flat MCG deck not offering much to the bowlers, saving the Test match shouldn't be a big deal for India. Reddy, easily India's 'find of the series', played a pivotal role in visitors' fightback.

Rohit Sharma's Career "Coming To An End"? 'Sad State Of India Captain' Bombshell Dropped As Terrible Run Continues

Rohit Sharma is going through a tought time in cricket. While his captaincy during India's ongoing Test series against Australia has been receiving criticism, his batting has not been good either. He missed the first Test due to personal reasons and joined the team from the second game. Rohit scored 3 and 6 in Adelaide before disappointing with another low score, 10, in the next game in Brisbane. Come Melbourne and Rohit's poor form continued here as well. He was dismissed for 3 runs off 5 balls. What looked poorer was the manner in which he got out. It was a harmless short of length ball outside off stump from Pat Cummins, and Rohit, in an attempt to pull it, got a top edge only to give an easy catch to Scott Boland close to the mid-on region.

"Virat Kohli Sent Him Back...": Steve Smith Provides New Insight Into Yashasvi Jaiswal Run-Out

Australia's Steve Smith credited a last-session breakthrough, including the dramatic run-out of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal at the end of the second day's play as the turning point in the Boxing Day Test that could decide the outcome of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Smith highlighted the mix-up between Jaiswal and Virat Kohli as a "huge play" that shifted momentum decisively in Australia's favour. “It looks like Jaiswal called ‘yes' and ran and Virat sent him back. It is as simple as that,” Smith said after the second day's play.
