"Leave Your...": Sunil Gavaskar's Dead Straight Advice To Shubman Gill After Flop Show

The Indian cricket team is having a tough time in their Tour of Australia. After winning the first match in Perth, India lost the second match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide in less than three days. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is having a tough time in the third Test in Brisbane too. After Australia scored 445 in the first innings, India struggled and were reduced to 44/4 at one stage. Yashasvi Jaiswal (4), Shubman Gill (1), Virat Kohli (3), and Rishabh Pant (9) failed and former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was not impressed.

'Perfect In Practice': Michael Vaughan's Brutal Dig At Yashasvi Jaiswal. Ravi Shastri In Disbelief

It seemed that Yashasvi Jaiswal had devised a plan to counter Mitchell Starc's new ball threat. However, just two balls into India's first innings of the ongoing third Test against Australia, Starc had Jaiswal caught at forward square leg. After India bowled Australia out for 445 early in the morning session on Day 3, Jaiswal was taking throw-downs before the start of India's innings. He flicked one towards the Australian team's huddle, but the ball hit the leg of Cricket Australia's cameraman.

"Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir Not On Same Page": Claims Of 'Divide' Within Indian Team Surface

Former Pakistan batter Basit Ali has criticised the Indian team management amid the ongoing third Test against Australia. Basit suggested that head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma are not on the same page. Rohit's leadership has come under severe criticism after India's heavy defeat in the Adelaide pink-ball Test last week, as well as the disappointing show so far in the third Test in Brisbane. While analysing India's performance in Adelaide and Brisbane Tests, Basit claimed that there is a difference of opinion between the captain and the coach.

Rohit Sharma Departs For 10, Faces Wrath Of Trolls After Yet Another Flop Show

India captain Rohit Sharma, coming in to bat the No. 6 spot in the 3rd Test against Australia, once again showed his weakness while facing swinging deliveries from Australia's pacers. Rohit fought hard to put 10 runs on the board on Day 4 after remaining unbeaten on zero at stumps on Day 3. However, he couldn't last on the pitch for long, as Pat Cummins effectively got him caught behind the stumps with a brilliant out-swinging delivery on the 5th stump. Seeing Rohit depart for cheap yet again, fans unleashed memes on social media on Tuesday.

"Can't Send Them To Pakistan...": BCCI Sends Big 'Bitterness' Message On Champions Trophy 2025 Row

There is no end in sight for the controversy surrounding the Champions Trophy 2025. The competition was supposed to take place in Pakistan but India refused to travel citing security reasons. The decision taken by India led to massive discussions about the future of the tournament with a 'hybrid' strategy emerging as the most favourable scenario. It will mean that the matches featuring India will take place in Dubai with the final also shifting to the UAE in case of India's qualification. While reports claimed that both countries have agreed on this scenarios with Pakistan adding some more conditions of their own, nothing concrete has been confirmed from the boards or the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Mitchell Marsh Admits ''Nerves'' At Gully, Hails Team's Bowling On Day 3

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh on Monday conceded that fielding at gully makes him the "most nervous", particularly because of Cameron Green's excellent reputation in that position. Green is not playing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy owing to a spine injury, but Marsh has stepped intox that role with some degree of comfort, underlined by his flying catch to dismiss India batter Shubman Gill on day three of the Third Test here.

"Team In Transition, Won't...": Jasprit Bumrah Backs Teammates Amid Gabba Test Struggles

Jasprit Bumrah on Monday defended the struggling Indian team in Australia and played down talk of additional pressure on him, saying it's a side in transition and given his experience, it's his "job" to shoulder extra responsibility. Having taken a seemingly erroneous call of bowling first in the third Test at the Gabba here, India conceded a huge first-innings total of 445 despite Bumrah returning 6/76. In response, the visitors were 51/4 on a rain-hit third day with questions being raised about batters' technique and the quality of bowling, save for Bumrah.

"Facing 445 Runs...": Sunil Gavaskar's 'Very Disappointing' Verdict On Yashasvi Jaiswal's Brisbane Show

Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar was deeply disappointed over how Yashasvi Jaiswal fell to Mitchell Starc on day three of the third Test at the Gabba, saying it was just not the best of shots one would expect from an opener. After Australia's first innings ended at 445, a lot was expected from Jaiswal and KL Rahul to give India a great start. But Jaiswal clipped straight to Mitchell Marsh at square leg to depart for just four on the second ball of the innings. "It's not the best of shots. You are facing 445 runs, then I think it's important for you to get your eye in. It wasn't even a half volley, and you have tried to flick that ball away, and it's a simple catch. Very good field placement and very good captaincy by Pat Cummins for sure.
