'He Is Three-dimensional Like Ravindra Jadeja': Matthew Hayden's Massive Praise For Pakistan Cricketer

Ravindra Jadeja is undoubtedly one of the finest all-rounders in the world. Making his debut in 2009, Jadeja has played 174 ODIs, 64 T20Is, and 65 Tests and has taken 510 wickets. Apart from shinning with the ball, Jadeja has also scored a whopping total of 5689 international runs. During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Trophy against Australia, earlier this year, the 34-year all-rounder emerged as joint Player of the Series with Ravichandran Ashwin. Despite all these heroics, former Australia Matthew Hayden went on to compare Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan with Jadeja.

Blamed For Team's ICC Trophy Drought, Ex India Star Shuts Down Troll

India's loss in the World Test Championship against Australia has broken many hearts. Apart from the players, the entire country was contemplating India's victory in the marquee event and clinching their much-awaited ICC trophy, after a hiatus of 10 years. However, their hopes were crushed as the Pat Cummins-led side thrashed Team India by 209 runs. It is always hard to see your favourite team on the losing side and to deal with the loss, some fans look for different ways to vent out their anger. This is exactly what happened when a fan blamed former batter Aakash Chopra for India's loss. However, the star commentator gave it back in a hilarious way.

Sunil Gavaskar's Sharp 'Dadas In India' Remark As Rahul Dravid Defends His Batters

The Indian cricket team once again failed to perform when it mattered the most, with Australia emerging triumphant by 209 runs in the ICC World Test Championship final. Be it the bowling unit or the batting unit, the players hardly managed to create an impact. India head coach Rahul Dravid understandably had to answer some difficult questions after the match, particularly from his former teammates Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh.

"Go And Hammer West Indies 2-0, 3-0": Sunil Gavaskar Launches Scathing Attack At Indian Team

India's forgettable outing at the World Test Championship final against Australia has left the legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar fuming with anger. The former India skipper spoke very critically about India's poor show in the marquee event, which resulted in them in losing out on another opportunity of winning an ICC trophy after 10 years. After blasting at the debacle of the batting order, Gavaskar also questioned the team's approach and stated that the entire unit has to work on all the factors that went wrong for India during the match.

"Choice Is Yours": Ravi Shastri Puts Onus On India Players Over IPL Decision After WTC Final Loss

Former India coach Ravi Shastri on Sunday sounded skceptical about the possibility of players getting extended gap after the IPL or practice games ahead of future WTC final matches unless there is a change in thought by all the stakeholders. After India suffered a huge 209-run defeat against Australia at the Oval, head coach Rahul Dravid said arriving in England at least two weeks earlier and playing some side matches would have been ideal for the team ahead of the big game. However, Shastri did not buy into the idea and put the onus on the players to make a choice.

Batting great Sunil Gavaskar came down hard on Virat Kohli following Team India's humiliating loss to Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final on Sunday. Kohli could only add five runs to his overnight score of 44 as Scott Boland sparked Team India's batting collapse. Boland exploited Kohli's Achilles heel as he lured him to play a cover drive. On any other day, Kohli would have opted to play against the shot but this time he couldn't control his desire to play his beloved shot. He went for the shot but only found a thick edge towards the slip, Steve Smith dived low to his right to take a stunning catch.

WTC Final - 'Not Just Going To Get A Hundred'...": Shastri's Massive Prediction About Kohli

A focussed Virat Kohli stood between Australia and World Test Championship mace as India required another 280 runs at the end of play on Saturday to create history on what promises to be an intriguing final day of the summit clash. Kohli was batting on 44 off 60 balls and had Ajinkya Rahane (20 batting) in company during a stand of 71 for the fourth wicket as India ended the fourth day on 164 for 3 in pursuit of a world record chase of 444. Kohli, who was dismissed for mere 14 runs in his first innings, seemed much more better in the crease during his ongoing knock.

"India Will Be In The Game If They Chase...": Sourav Ganguly On Winning Target In WTC Final

After two days' of dominance by Australia in the World Test Championship, India had a decent day with Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur putting up a great fight. Though Australia were already ahead by 296 at the end of the third day, former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourab Ganguly feels that if India can restrict the Pat Cummins-led team's lead to under 375, India will have a great chance in the 'Ultimate Test'. "If India has to chase 360 or 370, then India will be in the game. They have Virat Kohli, best Chaser in the world and many class players as well. So anything can happen in the last two days," Ganguly said on Star Sports.
