Sam Konstas' aggressive approach with the bat has caused a couple of headaches for Team India in the final two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25.

Sachin Tendulkar's Blunt "Majority Had Strike-Rate of 50 Or Less" Take As Rishabh Pant Wages Lone Battle

With the Indian top order once again failing to give the side a strong start, Rishabh Pant walked in on Day 2 of the final Test with his side reeling at 59/3 and went on to hit the fastest fifty by a visiting batter on Australian soil. Pant's contribution of 61 off 33 deliveries, laced with six fours and four sixes, was labelled as truly remarkable by India great Sachin Tendulkar. “On a wicket where majority of the batters have batted at a SR of 50 or less, @RishabhPant17's knock with a SR of 184 is truly remarkable.

Skipper Jasprit Bumrah has suffered back spasm and the team is waiting for an update from the medical staff about the availability of star pacer when India's turn comes to defend the target in the fifth Test against Australia, pacer Prasidh Krishna said on Saturday.

Sunil Gavaskar's Brutal 'No Complaint' Jibe At Australia Players. Reason Is...

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar took a dig at Australia and said the green top Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) surface hasn't been a topic of debate among the former Indian players but had it been a spin-friendly pitch in India, the visitors would have gone mad about it. "Oh, very much. Justin Langer, who's played in Australia, has said he's never seen so much grass on a pitch. But what you would have noticed is that no former Indian player has complained or whined about it. If a pitch in India is bereft of grass and looks like it's going to turn, so many former players from different parts of the world criticize our pitches. But former Indian players rarely complain because we understand the importance of adapting to overseas conditions," Gavaskar said on Star Sports when asked about the grass on the pitch.
