MS Dhoni Finds Mention In Australia Great's Take On Ravindra Jadeja Row: "Didn't Do One..."

Former Australian cricket team skipper Michael Clarke namedropped MS Dhoni while giving his verdict over the controversy around Ravindra Jadeja's interview ahead of the Boxing Day Test match. During the first media interaction ahead of the encounter, Jadeja answered questions only in Hindi - a move that left the Australian journalists fuming.

"Flawed Statement": Rohit Sharma Accused Of "Not Speaking His Mind" On Virat Kohli's Form

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar has questioned captain Rohit Sharma over his remarks while defending star batter Virat Kohli. During a pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Rohit was asked about Kohli's form, and his supposed shortcoming outside off-stump.

Wherever they go, Indian cricketers boast a serious fan-following, and a perfect example appeared ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne. Such is the fanfare and craze to get a glimpse of their favourite superstars, that a woman devised a rather creative plan to get an autograph from India captain Rohit Sharma.

Star, Who Last Played In 2021, Returns As Pakistan Name Playing XI For Boxing Day Test vs South Africa

Pakistan have named the 34-year-old pacer Mohammad Abbas in the playing XI for the opening Test of the two-match series against South Africa, starting December 26 at SuperSport Park. Abbas, a stalwart of Pakistan's Test setup with 90 wickets in 25 matches, last donned the whites in August 2021 against the West Indies in Kingston. Pakistan's batting lineup for the Centurion Test has undergone significant reshuffling. Abdullah Shafique, who scored 132 runs in the home Test series against England last October, has been left out.

Shubman Gill Receives Big Advice From Australia Great Amid Dismal Run: "Away From Home..."

Australia great Ricky Ponting believes the Indian opener Shubman Gill's overseas record is not as strong as his performances at home, but the ex-Aussie skipper feels the right-hander can improve his fortunes in Australia with minor changes to his approach. Gill averages 23.8 across nine Tests in England, Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa and Australia. In the same period, he has accumulated 1177 runs and scored four hundreds across 17 Tests at an average of 42.03 at home. "I love watching him play. When you're watching him bat and bat well, he looks as good as anyone in world cricket. But the numbers don't really stack up, do they, away from home?" Ponting said on The ICC Review.

R Ashwin Watches Travis Head's Training Video, Pinpoints His Exact Game Plan

Travis Head has been a bane for India on many occasions by now, and getting him out cheaply will be crucial for India's hopes of winning the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Head has already smashed two centuries (152 and 140 respectively) in the second and third Tests, tormenting the Indian bowlers at will, and also adapting to his weaknesses. In a video shared on social media showing the left-hander batting in the nets, Head seems to be working on his weak areas again, and the recently-retired Ravichandran Ashwin pointed out exactly that.
