Hardik Pandya To Lead India In Champions Trophy? Report Makes Shocking Claim

India skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to skip the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney raised many questions on his future in the longest format.

How Decision To 'Rest' Rohit Sharma From 5th Test vs Australia Was Taken: Report Claims Inside Details

Rohit Sharma getting 'rested' from the fifth India vs Australia Test in Sydney has probably started a chain of events in Indian cricket that will take a long time to settle down.

Amid SCG Test Pitch Debate, Australia Star's 'Jasprit Bumrah' Reminder: "Definitely..."

Debutant all-rounder Beau Webster feels facing ace India pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be an enormous challenge on the SCG pitch which is helping seamers, and the Australian did not place his finger on an ideal first innings score. India were all out for 185 and then Australia lost Usman Khawaja off the last ball of the day to Bumrah to end at 9 for one. “Think there's definitely a method to go about batting on this wicket. But Jasprit is a world class bowler and no doubt he's going to challenge our whole batting group. He's phenomenal with his lengths and lines, it is going to be tough on a wicket that will offer a fair bit for him,” Webster said in the post day one press conference.
