Dhruv Jurel showcased his sound technique and cool temperament while wickets fell like ninepins at the other end in another shoddy batting display by India A on the opening day of the second unofficial Test against Australia A at the iconic MCG on Thursday.

India will have to forget the wins in Australia over the last two trips as well as the unprecedented loss to New Zealand at home recently to give themselves a chance of emerging victorious Down Under, said 1983 World Cup winner Sandip Patil in Mumbai on Wednesday. Rohit Sharma's Indian team will soon be hitting the Australian shores with their pride at stake, having been blanked 0-3 by New Zealand at home which has also thrown their plans for the World Test Championship into disarray. While India look to pick the pieces and put their best foot forward during the five-Test tour of Australia, Patil, also a former chairman of selectors, expressed confidence that the team is too good to be bogged down by setbacks.

Former India head coach Greg Chappell has penned a heartfelt note to out-of-favour batter Prithvi Shaw, extending his support to latter after he was dropped from Mumbai's Ranji Trophy team. Shaw, who first caught the limelight after leading India to the U-19 World Cup title in 2018, made a hundred on Test debut against West Indies in Rajkot.

'They Will Cook Jasprit Bumrah': Australia's 'Smart' Strategy Against India Revealed

Former New Zealand cricket team fast bowler Simon Doull believes that Australia have come up with a 'clever' plan to counter Jasprit Bumrah during the Border-Gavaskar Test series. In a recent discussion on JioCinema, Doull pointed out that Bumrah will be the 'biggest threat' for Australia in the series and he thinks that the hosts are trying to 'cook' him with the scheduling.
