Man Who Oversaw Exit Of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid At BCCI, Now Says This About Rohit Sharma, "Transition..."

India will have to forget the wins in Australia over the last two trips as well as the unprecedented loss to New Zealand at home recently to give themselves a chance of emerging victorious Down Under, said 1983 World Cup winner Sandip Patil in Mumbai on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma's Indian team will soon be hitting the Australian shores with their pride at stake, having been blanked 0-3 by New Zealand at home which has also thrown their plans for the World Test Championship into disarray. While India look to pick the pieces and put their best foot forward during the five-Test tour of Australia, Patil, also a former chairman of selectors, expressed confidence that the team is too good to be bogged down by setbacks.

The Kiwis, under Latham, became the first visiting side to whitewash India in a three-match home series, winning the Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai Tests. "Indian cricket in general is really special. We've played against them a lot. The guys play with them at the IPL. They were certainly gracious in defeat and they're still a quality side," Latham said after arriving from India.

Former New Zealand cricket team fast bowler Simon Doull believes that Australia have come up with a 'clever' plan to counter Jasprit Bumrah during the Border-Gavaskar Test series. In a recent discussion on JioCinema, Doull pointed out that Bumrah will be the 'biggest threat' for Australia in the series and he thinks that the hosts are trying to 'cook' him with the scheduling.

Former Australia skipper Aaron Finch has reacted to ex-India captain Sunil Gavaskar's suggestion regarding the latter team's captaincy for upcoming Border-Gavaskar series, starting November 22. India's Test captain Rohit Sharma could reportedly miss the first game of the five-Test series in Australia due to personal reasons.

Ex-India Star Points Out 'Real Problem' In Rohit Sharma's Batting: "Not Trusting..."

It has been a tough year for Rohit Sharma when it comes to Test cricket. The Indian cricket team skipper once again failed to impress as his side slumped to a humiliating 0-3 Test series defeat in Mumbai on Sunday.
