AHMEDABAD, India : Australia players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect for skipper Pat Cummins's deceased mother on day two of the ongoing fourth and final test against India, the touring side said on Friday.
Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar expressed his displeasure with how the Australian media reported on the pitches being used in the ongoing India-Australia Test series and even accused some of the ex-players of making comments which were not “tasteful”. Various ex-Australia cricketers have been constantly talking about the surfaces used in the series till now and the Australian media has always reported on it in a negative light. From calling the Nagpur pitch ‘dodgy' to accusing India of ‘pitch doctoring', the list of accusations run deep and that has left Gavaskar quite disappointed.
Australia opener Usman Khawaja on Thursday struck his first Test century in India as the tourists dominated the opening day of the ongoing fourth match and final Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia reached 255 for 4 at stumps after they won the toss and elected to bat in their bid to square the series at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. While Khawaja was the centre of attention for his sensational century, another incident involving KS Bharat and Virat Kohli also put him in the news.
After Team India's Holi celebration videos created a storm on social media, a series of pictures -- showing the Australian team enjoying the festival of colours -- has now created a new buzz among the fans. Australia registered a comfortable nine-wicket win over India in the third Test of the Border-Gavasakar Trophy in Indore. With this win, the visitors also entered the World Test Championship final. As both the teams are now gearing up for the fourth Test, which will begin from Thursday in Ahmedabad, the Steve Smith-led side took some time off and celebrated Holi on Wednesday.

AHMEDABAD, India : It took Usman Khawaja three trips to India and a tweaked batting approach to register his first test hundred in the country, and the Australia opener was thrilled after finally ticking the milestone off his bucket list on Thursday.
Former Australian cricket team captain Ian Chappell criticised Indian bowlers' strategy against Usman Khawaja during Day 1 of the fourth Test match between India and Australia in Ahmedabad on Thursday. The pitch did not favour the bowlers much and although India were able to take two wickets in the first innings of the game, Khawaja played a gritty knock to slam his 14th Test hundred. Mohammed Shami was the only Indian bowler with two wickets while the spinner were unable to trouble the Australia opener. Chappell said in a recent interaction that the Indian spinners got their strategy completely wrong against Khawaja and that can end up hurting them in the crucial Test match.
Team India had a tough start in the early hours of the session on Day 1 of the fourth Test against Australia in Ahmedabad. Asked to bowl first, the Rohit Sharma led side went with Mohammed Shami as their first bowler. Shami was benched in the third Test and he made his way back into the Playing XI after replacing Mohammed Siraj. The senior pacer began the day after conceding 10 runs off the first over. It was followed by Umesh Yadav, controlling the flow of runs but KS Bharat, dropping a simple catch of Travis Head, left everyone disappointed.
