"Maybe They Don't Trust...": Harbhajan Singh On 'Unacceptable' Team Selection For 3rd Test

The playing XI picked by the Indian cricket team for the third Test against Australia has come under harsh criticism. Earlier, former India batter Aakash Chopra criticised the team's inconsistency with spinners and now ex-India spinner Harbhajan Singh has also talked on the same topic. Notably, India rested both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the first Test and went ahead with Washington Sundar. In the second game, the Rohit Sharma-led side rested Sundar to make place for Ashwin, while the very next game saw Ashwin being replaced by Jadeja.

"You Should Google": Jasprit Bumrah's Bouncer Shuts Down Reporter's "You Are Not Best..." Question

Jasprit Bumrah has been the brightest spot for India in the current tour of Australia. In the first Test, the pacer took eight wickets while in the second he returned with four wickets. In the ongoing third Test in Brisbane, Bumrah took a six-wicket haul in the first innings. While he has been brilliant, the same cannot be said about others. 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

Jasprit Bumrah Told To Quit Test Cricket By Shoaib Akhtar: "Team Will Start Questioning..."

Legendary pacer Shoaib Akhtar has urged star India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah to focus on shorter formats of the game. Bumrah is arguably the best all format bowler in the world at the moment, but his injury record is not the best. He single-handed won India the first Test against Australia in Perth last month, returning match-figures of 8/72. He bagged another four-wicket haul in the first innings of the 2nd Test last week, but India went on to lose the match.

Sunil Gavaskar's Unfiltered Verdict On Virat Kohli's Yet Another 7th Stump Dismissal

It isn't often that one sees India's great Sunil Gavaskar mincing his words. As Virat Kohli departed after scoring just three runs in the first innings of the third Test against Australia, Gavaskar was quick to call out the India batter's poor shot selection. Facing Josh Hazlewood, Kohli edged the ball into the hands of Australia's wicket-keeper Alex Carey despite the fact that the ball was quite far from the stumps. Gavaskar, in his blunt criticism of Kohli, said that there was no need for him to play the 7th or 8th stump delivery.

Rohit Sharma Loses Cool At India Star, Rant Goes Viral: "Sar Mein Kuch Hai?"

India captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated figure on Day 3 of the 3rd Test against Australia in Brisbane on Monday. With Australia frustrating India at the start of play, Rohit was seemingly not happy with pacer Akash Deep after he bowled a bizarre delivery. In the 114th over of Australia's innings, Akash's delivery landed outside of the pitch with Rishabh Pant making a crucial intervention to stop the ball from going to the boundary for four byes.

3rd Test: Batters Botch Up Again; India In Trouble At 51/4 On Rain-Marred Day 3

The Indian batters' inability to grind it out against a relentless Australian pace attack in testing conditions left the team precariously placed at 51 for four at the end of a rain-marred day three of the third Test in Brisbane on Monday. On a stop-start day, India bowled out Australia for 445 in their first innings, the hosts adding 40 runs to their overnight total, as the peerless Jasprit Bumrah continued to do the heavy lifting to finish with excellent figures of 6/76.

Gautam Gambhir In Spotlight, Sanjay Manjrekar Questions Coaches As Virat Kohli Fails Again

Virat Kohli's repeated failures while handling the offside-off deliveries have put Team India's support staff in the line of fire too. While Gautam Gambhir is the team's head coach, he does have support from the likes of Ryan Ten Doeschate, Abhishek Nayar and Morne Morkel for different roles. However, it still isn't defined who India's batting coach is. As Kohli was dismissed chasing an outside-off delivery again, former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar put the 'batting coach' in the line of fire.
