India vs Australia: Fighting For Same Spot, KL Rahul And Shubman Gill Grind It Out Simultaneously In Nets. See Pics

There were no definite cues but it seemed like an audition when the struggling K L Rahul and the much younger Shubman Gill batted simultaneously during a training session on Monday ahead of the third Test against Australia. Stripped of India vice-captaincy following his prolonged lean patch in the five-day format, Rahul put in the hard yards in what could possibly be the final training session before the game, beginning Wednesday.

"Recently, Some Firing Happened...": Spin Great On Whether India Should Go To Pakistan For Asia Cup

Where will the 2023 Asia Cup happen? That is the question that is raging in the Asian cricket circles. The Asia Cup was initially allotted to Pakistan and was scheduled in September this year but BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who is also the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, had announced last October that India will not travel to Pakistan. After that announcement, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement that If India don't travel for Asia Cup, Pakistan may not travel for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Richa Ghosh Only Indian In ICC's 'Most Valuable Team' Of Women's T20 World Cup

India's wicket-keeper batter Richa Ghosh's exploits during the side's run to the semi-finals of the Women's T20 World Cup in Cape Town have earned her a place in ICC's Most Valuable Team of the tournament announced on Monday. The 19-year-old wicket-keeper and middle-order batter had a couple of below-par scores against Ireland in the group stages and Australia in the semi-finals, but three unbeaten knocks -- 31 not out vs Pakistan, 44 not out vs West Indies and 47 not out vs England -- saw her end the tournament with 136 runs.

"You Will Get Flak...": Sourav Ganguly's Blunt Take On KL Rahul's Poor Run OF Form

It will be difficult for KL Rahul to avoid scathing criticism for his protracted poor run because of the enormous expectations attached with the job, especially when past cricketers have set high standards, says former India skipper Sourav Ganguly. Stripped of vice captaincy, Rahul hasn't crossed 25-run mark in his last 10 Test knocks. An average of less than 35 in 47 Tests isn't an actual realisation of his real potential.

Mitchell Starc Says Still Not 100 Per Cent Fit But Good Enough For Third Test

Senior Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has still not '100 per cent' recovered from his injury but is ready to make an impact in the third Test against India beginning in Indore on Wednesday. With skipper Pat Cummins back home to be with his unwell mother, Australia will rely on Starc to provide the odd breakthrough and support the spinners. Indian pacers have already made a substantial contribution in the series with Mohammed Shami being the standout fast bowler.
