Watch: Rishabh Pant Takes Adam Gilchrist By Surprise, His Response Can't Be Missed

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant shared a light-hearted moment with Australia great Adam Gilchrist on Sunday. Ahead of the start of play on Day 3, legendary Australia wicketkeeper Gilchrist, who is a part of the experts' panel for broadcaster Star Sports, was taken by surprise when Pant approached him from behind and closed the latter's eyes with both his hands. As soon as Gilchrist realised that it was Pant behind him, the duo shared a warm hug. "I was surprised there, didn't know who was behind me," said Gilchrist about the incident later.

"Can't Survive On Past...": Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Receive Brutal 'Reputation' Warning

Following India's loss to Australia in the second Test, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan opened up on inconsistent form of star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saying that they will have to perform well consistently as living on past laurels will make things difficult for them as they age but expectations stay the same. He also opined that the 'Hitman' batting down the order at number six was a wrong move. After the birth of his second child which caused him to miss the first Test at Perth, which was a memorable win by 295 runs, Rohit's return to cricket was far from spectacular, as not only he succumbed to double digits during struggled-filled outings down the order at number six, the team also succumbed to a 10-wicket loss in the pink-ball Test within just three days at Adelaide. After a century at Perth, Virat struggled with outside off-stump deliveries yet again, scoring just seven and 11 runs in the match.

Watch: Mohammed Siraj Throws Ball In Anger After Australia Batter's Bizarre Action During Pink Ball Test

Mohammed Siraj failed to hold his emotions during an incident on Day 1 of the ongoing Test match between India and Australia at Adelaide Oval. It took place while the right-arm pacer was bowling the 25th over of the Australian innings. Just before the penultimate ball of the over could be bowled, Marnus Labuschagne pulled out of his stance after a distraction in front of the sight screen. A fan was going across the sight screen with a beer snake in his hand. Distracted by it, Labuschagne got away from his stance right before Siraj, who was already on his run-up, could bowl the delivery.

"Just A Magician With The Pink Ball": Ex-Australia Star's Ultimate Praise For Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc's rampant bowling on the first day of the second Test saw Australia crash through the Indian batting line-up at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. His brilliant bowling effort prompted former Australia opening batter Matthew Hayden to label the left-arm pacer as a 'magician with the pink ball'. "He has that scrambled seam delivery that goes across the right-hander, but when he does have that ability-which he did-I must admit I was a little surprised. I've never really seen the pink ball swing into the sort of 40th over and so aggressively swing as well. By that stage, he used a really important word, and it's a bit of an underrated word as well, and that's momentum," Hayden told Star Sports at the end of the day's play in Adelaide.

"Desperation To Create Controversy": Josh Hazlewood's Manager Slams Media For Misconstruing Pacer's Comments

Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood's manager Neil Maxwell has lashed out at the nation's media for blowing the player's comment out of proportion. He also blasted Fox Cricket, the official broadcaster in Australia for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Hazlewood found himself in the middle of a controversy due to his comments during Australia's Perth Test against India last month. In a press conference at the end of play on Day 3 of the match, Hazlewood was asked about how Australia would approach day four. His response to the query was, "You probably have to ask one of the batters that question. I'm sort of relaxing and trying to get a bit of physio and a bit of treatment, and I'm probably looking mostly towards the next Test and what plans we can do against these batters."

Virat Kohli vs Jasprit Bumrah In Nets: Video Of Intense Training Between India Duo Goes Viral

Witnessing Virat Kohli's batting or Jasprit Bumrah's bowling is a pure delight for the cricket fans. While Kohli is among the greatest batters the world has ever witnessed, such is the case with Bumrah in fast bowling. Kohli is a batter that barely any bowler wants to bowl to. On the other hand, Bumrah also maintains a similar stature. Even in their wildest of dreams, the batters would not want to face the Indian pacer, who is just a master of his art.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Australia To Add Uncapped Beau Webster To Squad For Pink-Ball Test

Australia are set to add uncapped fast-bowling all-rounder Beau Webster into their squad for the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test, to be played with the pink ball in Adelaide, starting on December 6. A report by News Corp on Wednesday said Webster has been picked up as an injury cover for fellow all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who has pulled up "sore" following the series opener, where Australia suffered a 295-run loss to India inside four days at Perth Stadium. Though there's a ten-day gap between first and second Tests, if Marsh fails to recover in time for the Adelaide game, after bowling more than ten overs in Perth, then Webster has a chance to become Australia's 468th men's Test cricketer.

KL Rahul To Miss 1st Australia Test? India Physio Says "From Medical Point Of View..."

Seasoned KL Rahul on Sunday batted at India nets, allaying concerns surrounding his fitness ahead of the first Test against Australia starting in Perth at the Optus Stadium from November 22. It will be a big relief for the Indian team management as they are already grappling with the possible absence of injured Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma, who has been blessed with his second baby. Rahul had left the field for medical attention on Friday after sustaining a blow on his elbow by pacer Prasidh Krishna while batting in an intra-squad practice match at the WACA ground.
