"Momentum Is With...": Gavaskar's Massive Take Ahead Of India vs Australia 3rd Test

Australia roared back into contention in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, levelling the series 1-1 with a dominant 10-wicket victory in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide. Now, with the third Test set to commence at the Gabba on Saturday, former cricketing legends Sunil Gavaskar and Harbhajan Singh believe the balance of power has shifted in Australia's favour. Gavaskar highlighted the impact of momentum on the series. "The momentum that India got after the win in Perth went away in the ten-day gap before the second Test," Gavaskar told the official broadcasters Star Sports. "Now the momentum is with Australia because they have won the Adelaide Test, and with just three days before the Gabba Test starts, the momentum is certainly with them."

Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins Added To BBL 14 Supplementary Lists

Australia's premier fast bowling trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have been named in the supplementary lists for the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) 14 season. Hazlewood and Starc have both been signed by Sydney Sixers under the league's marquee supplementary player rule, while Test captain Cummins will again be on the Sydney Thunder's auxiliary list. Due to their commitments across the Australian international summer, the fast-bowling pair are unlikely to take the field, however, the quicks will be involved throughout the summer in an off-field capacity, where their schedules allow.

India vs Australia: Gabba Pitch Curator's Remarks Early Warning For Rohit Sharma And Co

The pitch for the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba is expected to have traditional pace and bounce considering the game is scheduled in the early part of the summer and not post-Christmas. India's famous win at the Gabba on their previous tour came when the game was scheduled in the second half of the series. A Rishabh Pant special ensured India a back- to-back series win Down Under with Australia left licking their wounds. It was the hosts' first loss at the venue since 1988. Since then Australia have lost to the West Indies at the 'fortress' and no wonder the players prefer to play at the Gabba at the start of the summer and not at end of it.

Rohit Sharma Drops Another Big Hint On Batting Role For 3rd Australia Test. KL Rahul To...

There has been a lot of conversation surrounding Rohit Sharma's batting position in the ongoing Test series against Australia. He missed the first Test match as he stayed back with family following the birth of his second child and in the second Test, he batted at No. 6 with KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal playing as openers. The move did not work out as both Rohit and Rahul struggled to score runs in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. However, India are likely to stick with the same batting order in the third Test match as well with the practice session on Thursday dropping major hints about the decision.

Rohit Sharma Gets Brutal 'Captaincy' Reality Check From Australia Great: "Jasprit Bumrah's Superior..."

Former Australia batter Simon Katich criticised India captain Rohit Sharma for his bowling changes during the 10-wicket loss in the Pink-Ball Test in Adelaide. The loss last week was India's fourth-straight in Test under Rohit's captaincy, having conceded three games at home to New Zealand last month. In a recent interaction, Katich feels Rohit failed to rotate his bowlers, something his deputy Jasprit Bumrah managed to do pretty well during India's 295-run win over Australia in the series-opener in Perth.

Jasprit Bumrah Turns Spinner, Unleashes New Weapon Ahead Of 3rd Australia Test - Watch

Jasprit Bumrah turned spinner as he bowled couple of leg-spin deliveries during practice ahead of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane starting Saturday. In a video posted by journalist Bharat Sundaresan on X (formerly Twitter), Bumrah was seen two leg-spinners with a short run-up before going back to his full run-up and going full throttle against the batters. There were some concerns regarding Bumrah's fitness after he struggled a bit during the second Test match but the fast bowler looked completely fit as he bowled quite well in practice against KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma was left fuming after opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was late for their departure from Adelaide, according to Sports Tak. While the team was ready to leave for Brisbane ahead of the third Test match, Jaiswal failed to arrive in the team hotel lobby on time and as a result, the bus left without him.

The young India batter came to the lobby around 20 minutes late and had to take a separate hotel car to the airport.

"Worried For Mohammed Siraj...": Ricky Ponting Explains Immediate Reaction To India Star's Fiery Send-Off

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has weighed in on the incident and verbal spat that took place between Australia batter Travis Head and India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj during the second Test in Adelaide, stating that he got worried for Siraj. The latter had delivered Head a fiery send-off after getting him out, but that reaction concerned Ponting, who said that he was well aware of how umpires and match officials tend to react to such incidents. As it turned out, Siraj was fined 20 percent of his match fees.
