Mohammed Siraj's Honest Analysis Of Joe Root's "Stupidest In English Test History" Shot

Pacer Mohammed Siraj is surprised that a well-set Joe Root preferred to play a reverse ramp shot off Jasprit Bumrah and ended up losing his wicket to hand India advantage in the third Test in Rajkot Saturday. Root was batting at 18, having spent almost an hour at the crease. Trying to improvise, Root attempted a reverse ramp over the slip only to find Yashaswi Jaiswal at second slip. His partnership with centurion Ben Duckett (153) was steady but after his dismissal, England could not add even 100 runs to the total. The visitors conceded a huge 126-run lead.

New Zealand Recall Scott Kuggeleijn For Australia Test Series

Pace bowler Scott Kuggeleijn was recalled on Sunday to replace Kyle Jamieson in New Zealand's squad for the two-Test home series against Australia. Kuggeleijn, whose lone appearance came in a loss to England in Mount Maunganui last year, is the only addition to the 14-man squad that swept under-strength South Africa 2-0 this month. He replaces fellow-seamer Jamieson, who faces a long stint out of cricket after suffering a back stress fracture during the Proteas series.

"Severe Implications": Jay Shah's Warning To Players Skipping Domestic Red-Ball Games

"For Me, Jaiswal Is Everything": Fangirl Posts On Centurion, Star's IPL Team Reacts

Yashasvi Jaiswal is now clearly the best performer for the Indian cricket team in the Test series against England. After a double ton, Yashasvi Jaiswal has now scored a ton against England. The left-handed opener is proving time and again why India can rely on him in the long term. The century on Saturday was a dominating one. Jaiswal's (104 retired hurt off 133 balls) second ton of the series was beautifully complemented by Shubman Gill (65 batting, 120 balls), who curbed his natural aggression as India ended the day at 196 for 2 in 51 available overs.

"Don't Know What's In Store": R Ashwin On Chasing Anil Kumble's Record

R Ashwin is a content man after becoming only the second Indian to take 500 Test wickets and has no interest in chasing Anil Kumble's national record of 619 scalps. Ashwin dismissed England opener Zak Crawley in the final session on day two and became only the ninth bowler to scale 'Mount 500' in Test history. The 37-year-old Ashwin said he has no particular aim of pushing for more and try and get to Kumble's record. "The very simple answer is ‘no'… 120 wickets away. Every day is what I want to live for, and, I'm 37 years old. I don't know what's in store next,” Ashwin told the media after stumps on the second day.
