Jasprit Bumrah Told To Quit Test Cricket By Shoaib Akhtar: "Team Will Start Questioning..."

Legendary pacer Shoaib Akhtar has urged star India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to focus on shorter formats of the game. Bumrah is arguably the best all format bowler in the world at the moment, but his injury record is not the best. He single-handed won India the first Test against Australia in Perth last month, returning match-figures of 8/72. He bagged another four-wicket haul in the first innings of the 2nd Test last week, but India went on to lose the match.

Sunil Gavaskar's Unfiltered Verdict On Virat Kohli's Yet Another 7th Stump Dismissal

It isn't often that one sees India's great Sunil Gavaskar mincing his words. As Virat Kohli departed after scoring just three runs in the first innings of the third Test against Australia, Gavaskar was quick to call out the India batter's poor shot selection. Facing Josh Hazlewood, Kohli edged the ball into the hands of Australia's wicket-keeper Alex Carey despite the fact that the ball was quite far from the stumps. Gavaskar, in his blunt criticism of Kohli, said that there was no need for him to play the 7th or 8th stump delivery.

Rohit Sharma Loses Cool At India Star, Rant Goes Viral: "Sar Mein Kuch Hai?"

India captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated figure on Day 3 of the 3rd Test against Australia in Brisbane on Monday. With Australia frustrating India at the start of play, Rohit was seemingly not happy with pacer Akash Deep after he bowled a bizarre delivery. In the 114th over of Australia's innings, Akash's delivery landed outside of the pitch with Rishabh Pant making a crucial intervention to stop the ball from going to the boundary for four byes.

Gautam Gambhir In Spotlight, Sanjay Manjrekar Questions Coaches As Virat Kohli Fails Again

Virat Kohli's repeated failures while handling the offside-off deliveries have put Team India's support staff in the line of fire too. While Gautam Gambhir is the team's head coach, he does have support from the likes of Ryan Ten Doeschate, Abhishek Nayar and Morne Morkel for different roles. However, it still isn't defined who India's batting coach is. As Kohli was dismissed chasing an outside-off delivery again, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar put the 'batting coach' in the line of fire.

"Edged And Gone": Virat Kohli Repeats Same Mistakes, Triggers Epic Meme Fest

"Edged, caught behind the stumps, and gone", there was no change in Virat Kohli's fortunes as the India batter was dismissed for a single-digit score yet again on the tour of Australia on Monday. Kohli, who hasn't had many fruitful outings in Australia, barring a second-innings ton in Perth, was dismissed chasing an outside-off delivery yet again. Kohli's dismissals on Down Under on this tour have come in a similar fashion, with pacers finding the edge of his bat through 6th or 7th stump deliveries. On Day 3 in Brisbane, it was the same case.
