Veiled Dig At Gautam Gambhir? On Yashasvi Jaiswal Run-Out, Australia Star's 'Coach Killer' Remark

Indian cricket team stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli had a terrible mix-up on Day 2 of the ongoing 4th Test against Australia, resulting in the former's unfortunate run out dismissal. Jaiswal, who was batting on 82, tried to steal a quick single off Scott Boland but Kohli didn't responding on time, leaving the youngster stranded, ending a dangerous 102-run stand. Jaiswal was visibly frustrated at the incident while Kohli's concentration was impacted as he once again ended up edging a delivery outside the off-stump straight to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

India "Will Continue To Fight": Washington Sundar After Day 2 Play In Boxing Day Test

After the conclusion of play on Day 2 of the Melbourne Test between Australia and India, all-rounder Washington Sundar expressed confidence in the team's ability to stage a comeback on the third day of the ongoing Boxing Day Test match. The final hour of Day 2 was packed with dramatic twists and turns. Disaster struck the visitors in quick succession late in the day. Jaiswal was run out for 82 after a mix-up with Kohli, who appeared caught ball-watching as both batters ended up at the same end.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Run-Out Huge In Bigger Context Of Match: Steve Smith

Yashasvi Jaiswal's run out will be huge in the broader context of the fourth Test match against India as it also affected Virat Kohli's concentration, who till then looked good for a "masterclass", said Australia's batting hero Steve Smith on Friday. Jaiswal, who was quite fluent during his 118-ball stay that yielded 82 runs on the second day, was way short of his crease after a mix-up with Virat Kohli (36) while attempting a quick single, handing Australia the breakthrough that could prove decisive.

3 Wickets For 6 Runs: How India Collapsed Against Australia After Virat Kohli-Yashasvi Jaiswal Show

India suffered a late batting collapse after a good show from Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday. The visitors looked quite comfortable with both Jaiswal and Kohli showing excellent judgement against the Australia bowlers. Jaiswal slammed a gritty half-century while Kohli looked quite solid with India cruising at 153 for the loss of two wickets. However, with 30 minutes left for stumps, Jaiswal was dismissed run-out following a horrible mix-up. It was an unfortunate end to a solid knock and it opened the floodgates for the hosts.

There's Difference Between Being Out Of Runs And Out Of Form: Steve Smith

Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith always knew that he was "out of runs" but never "out of form" as he got back-to-back Test hundreds against India within a week of each other after 18 months of lull. Having scored his 33rd ton in Brisbane, Smith equalled Sunil Gavaskar's then world record of 34 hundreds on the second day of the fourth Test at the MCG on Friday. Asked how did he chug along all these days when big runs were not coming that easily, Smith dived deep into his inner core.

Steve Smith Becomes Victim To 'Most Bizarre Dismissal Of 2024', His Reaction Says It All

Steve Smith's fifth Boxing Day Test century lifted Australia to 474 in the first innings of their 4th Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. Smith (140) crunched his second century in as many Tests as Australia built a daunting total, with the hosts having resumed on 311-6 after a dominant opening day where all their top four blasted 50 or more to lay a solid platform. However, Smith got out in a rather bizarre manner, falling 10 runs short of a landmark 150.

Sunil Gavaskar Wants India To Drop Out-Of-Form Star, Says "Be Brutally..."

Legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar shared a brutally honest review of the underperforming pacer Mohammed Siraj and called for the left-arm pacer to be dropped from the Indian side after a string of poor outings in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Siraj, who was a vital cog in the 2021 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win, has not been up to the mark in the ongoing series, having taken 13 wickets in seven innings and not being fierce enough with the new ball, causing extra burden on Jasprit Bumrah's shoulders.

Rohit Sharma Labelled "Lazy", Faces Heat Over Another Flop Show In Australia

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was critical of the tame shot India captain Rohit Sharma played that led to his dismissal off Pat Cummins on day two of the Boxing Day Test, saying one has to be switched on and make good decisions when facing a formidable bowling line-up. Rohit's move of opening the batting for the first time in the series backfired when he played a one-leg half-hearted pull off Cummins, and the top-edge was easily caught by mid-on to be out for three in the second over. That dismissal took Rohit's tally of runs to 22 in this series, thus extending his woeful form in Tests this year.
