After the India vs New Zealand series at home results in a 3-0 loss for Rohit Sharma and co.'s men, the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, starting on November 22, holds extra significance for the side.

Ricky Ponting's Veiled Dig At Virat Kohli: "Top-Order Batsman That's Only Scored Two Test Hundreds In..."

Virat Kohli's recent form has not been his best. Ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Kohhli's lean patch against New Zealand was not the news that the Indian cricket fns would have wanted to hear. However, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting says that Kohli should not be judged by current form. He also added that it is concerning that Kohli's hasn't had many triple figure scores in Tests despite playing in the top order.

Dhruv Jurel Shines Again But India A Lose By 6 Wickets Against Australia A

Wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel built a strong case for a possible Test eleven inclusion with his second successive fifty but it was not enough to prevent India A going down to Australia A by six wickets on the third day of the second and final unofficial Test in Melbourne on Saturday. With this defeat, India A lost the two-match series 0-2, as the visitors had earlier lost the first unofficial Test by seven wickets at Mackay. Resuming from overnight 73 for 5, Jurel, who made a valiant 80 in the first innings, once again stood tall amid the ruins with a patient 68 off 122 balls during which he hit five boundaries.

Wasim Akram Foreshadows Pakistan's Dropped Catch On Commentary During 2nd ODI vs Australia

Legendary Pakistan bowler foreshadowed an incident during the second ODI between Australia and Pakistan in Adelaide. Akram, on commentary, was told that during his era, him and pace bowling partner Waqar Younis would send stumps flying and trap batters leg-before-wicket. Akram joked that that was because the bowlers did not trust the Pakistan fielders and, therefore, they'd have to get the wickets by themselves. In a hilarious coincidence, Pakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi went on to drop a catch in the ongoing game in the very next ball, proving Akram's sarcasm scarily true.

Gautam Gambhir Out? Report Says India Coach To Lose Test Role If...

The start to what was promised to be a fruitful coaching career hasn't gone the way Gautam Gambhir or the well-wishers of the Indian team had predicted. Gambhir arrived in the Indian team on the back of a title-winning campaign at Kolkata Knight Riders. But, since becoming Team India's head coach, Gambhir has suffered an ODI series loss in Sri Lanka and a clean sweep at home against New Zealand in Tests. As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) top brass tightens its screws on the slumping performances, Gambhir faces a make-or-break Test campaign against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The series is unarguably Gambhir's biggest 'Test' to sustain the India coach job in the longest format.

"If India Go Over The Top...": Australia Legend's Sharp Warning To Team India Ahead Of Border Gavaskar Trophy

Former Australia Test captain Ian Chappell believes if the Indian batters try to go over the top with their shots in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, then they will be found out by extra bounce in the conditions during the all-important series. India will reach the Australian shores after a disappointing 3-0 series defeat to New Zealand at home. The poor form of captain Rohit Sharma and talismanic batter Virat Kohli are among the visitors' main concerns.

Australia Great's Blunt Verdict On Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's Form. Says, "Mental Fatigue..."

With India set to play a five-match Test series in Australia, star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's form remains a huge topic of discussion. Rohit and Kohli have come under the scanner after the embarrassing 0-3 whitewash to New Zealand. Rohit scored only 91 runs in 6 innings, while Kohli just bettered him with 93 as India were whitewashed at home by the Kiwis last week. Following their poor show against New Zealand, calls have been made to drop the duo from the Test squad. However, former Australia captain Michael Clarke feels Rohit and Kohli's recent poor form is mainly due to mental fatigue, something which was evident in their shot selection.

Australia spinner Adam Zampa had a hilarious exchange with newly appointed Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan during the second ODI of a three-match series in Adelaide on Friday. The incident happened in the 34th over of Australia's innings, which came to a premature end on the final ball of the 35th over. After Pakistan opted to bowl, Australia, following their narrow defeat in the series opener in Melbourne, could only manage 163 at the Adelaide Oval. Amid Australia's batting collapse, an incident involving Zampa and Rizwan caught the attention of the fans.
