Yograj Singh At It Again, Sends Loud Message To Gautam Gambhir Over Virat Kohli's Form

After India's 3-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss to Australia, former cricketer Yograj Singh gave his take on the Indian senior batter's lack of form in the series. Highlighting Virat Kohli's dismissals in the same way throughout the series, he insisted that someone should have told the star batter not to play that shot. In five Tests, Kohli managed to make only 190 runs and was dismissed eight times while chasing balls outside off-stump. On the other hand, Rohit, who missed the Perth Test because of the birth of his second child, managed only 31 runs in three Tests, before opting to rest for the fifth Test in Sydney.

Amid Retirement Claims, Report Says Virat Kohli Wants To Play Till This Tournament

Has the world seen the last of Virat Kohli in Test cricket, or will he be able to revive his career and enjoy a second wind? The flag-bearer of Indian batting since the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli yelled at himself and punched his thigh, as he got out for the eighth time edging to the slip cordon or keeper in his nine visits to the crease in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The 36-year-old's career was hanging by a thread after he once again fell victim to a back-of-length delivery on a sixth-stump line on the second day of the fifth and final Test against Australia, the bowler being the self-effacing but relentless Scott Boland.

However, in the lead up to the match at the Sydney Cricket Ground, one term that went viral on social media was 'Mr. Fix It'.

Australian skipper Pat Cummins' status as a modern-day great went up a notch following the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win against India on Sunday, adding one more trophy to his cabinet that shows no signs of shrinking down.

Amid Retirement Claims, Virat Kohli Gets Brutal Reality Check: "Even Sachin Tendulkar..."

Team India's bitter defeat against Australia in the Sydney Test didn't just see them lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but also the glimmer of World Test Championship final qualification hope. As pundits Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar reflected on India's mistakes in the series, Virat Kohli's below-par show with the bat stood among the top factors. Irfan didn't mince words as he tore into Kohli, highlighting his disappointing numbers with the bat while questioning his place in the team. The former India all-rounder even suggested that a youngster can give as many runs as Virat to the team.

"Gautam Gambhir Should Be Saying...": Sunil Gavaskar Drops 'Domestic Cricket' Bombshell

Legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Sunday urged Indian batters to play in the Ranji Trophy without offering any excuses to iron out technical deficiencies that led to their peril in two successive series against New Zealand and Australia. Gavaskar said it was worrying to see the Indian batters churning out underwhelming efforts against New Zealand at home and in the just-concluded series against Australia Down Under. India succumbed to the Kiwis 0-3 before surrendering to the Aussies 1-3. "On January 23, there is the next round of the Ranji Trophy. Let's see how many players from this squad play. There should be no excuse for not being able to play," Gavaskar told Star Sports.

Australian skipper Pat Cummins rates Virat Kohli as a great competitor who makes the game lively with his theatrics and he will be "sad" if the latest Border-Gavaskar trophy does end up being the Indian superstar's last tour Down Under. Following the hundred in the series opener, Kohli's troubles outside the off-stump compounded as he was caught in the slip cordon eight times over the course of five Tests.
