KL Rahul To Be Punished By ICC After Gesture On Getting Out? Rules Say...

India batter KL Rahul was controversially given out on Day 1 of the 1st Test against Australia. His dismissal was the biggest talking point of the day, which saw 17 wickets fall at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Rahul became the victim of bizarre DRS call after he was initially given not out by the on-field umpire. The incident happened in the 23rd over when Rahul tried to defend Mitchell Starc's delivery. Australian players made a loud appeal, but the umpire shaked his head in disagreement, prompting home captain Pat Cummins to summon DRS.

Sunil Gavaskar Loses It On Air As Jasprit Bumrah Snubs R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja For Perth Test

A big surprise unfolded ahead of the start of play in the first Test between India and Australia in Perth on Friday as the spin twins of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were snubbed. India's stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah and head coach Gautam Gambhir decided to add spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar to the team instead. While some saw the decision as a logical one, considering the form Sundar showed against New Zealand, India's batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was left fuming at the call.

BCCI Gets 'Benefit Of Cricket' Appeal From Ex-Pakistan Star Amid Champions Trophy Row

Former Pakistani cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated venues for the Champions Trophy, including the probable match between Pakistan and India. He emphasized the importance of sportsmanship and cross-border camaraderie. "The Champions Trophy is an ICC tournament and Pakistan is hosting it. So I think India should not hesitate to play.

"Rohit Sharma Laid-Back, Jasprit Bumrah Smiley Bloke": England Great's 'Aggression' Bombshell

Former England cricket team skipper Michael Vaughan believes that India lacks 'aggressive leadership' going into the five-match Test series against Australia. There has been a lot of chatter around the series with the first match starting in Perth on Friday. In his column for The Telegraph, Vaughan wrote that in the previous two occasions when India won a series in Australia, they had Virat Kohli as captain and Ravi Shastri as coach - two figures well known for their positive brand of cricket. However, he called skipper Rohit Sharma as "laid-back" and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah a 'lovely, smiley bloke'.

Ricky Ponting Points Out One Star Player That "India Will Definitely Miss" In Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has been bold with his opinions ahead of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between India and Australia, and has now criticised India's decision to not include Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test squad. Pujara - a man who has nearly 2,000 runs against Australia at an average of nearly 50 - was not included for the series, having been dropped from the Indian Test squad ever since the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 Final. Ponting stated that this could be a mistake made by the selectors.

KL Rahul Achieves Big Feat With 26-Run Knock vs Australia In Perth Test

India batter KL Rahul completed 3,000 Test runs on Thursday. Rahul accomplished this milestone during the first Test of the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. During the first innings, KL played a short, but a patient knock of 26 in 74 balls, with three boundaries. However, his knock was cut short by a controversial decision. Mitchell Starc did get his wicket after being caught behind by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. However, the question was if the sound in the snickometer came due to ball hitting the bat or his bat hitting the pad. The third umpire Richard Illingworth judged him to be out, with the ball hitting his bat.

Big Stars, Proximity To IPL Auction Give Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Massive Context

Presence of a few frontline stars like Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami and its co-existence with the IPL mega auction have given the latest edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, beginning across venues from Saturday, a meaty context. But interestingly, the players are not sewn by a common auction thread in the country's premier domestic T20 tournament. Pandya need not to worry about impressing the IPL scouts after finding a place in Mumbai Indians' retention list ahead of the auction on November 23 and 24 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
