"Jasprit Bumrah Can't Bowl From Both Ends": Rohit Sharma's Blunt Message To India Bowlers

Jasprit Bumrah is only human and cannot always shoulder the responsibility of bowling opposition out all by himself, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Sunday, urging others to share the load with the premier fast bowler. India lost to Australia by 10 wickets in the second Test and during the Australian innings, only Bumrah stood out with a four-wicket haul. "Jasprit Bumrah cannot alone take responsibility. You don't expect him to bowl from both ends. The other guys also needs to step in and share the responsibility. There will be days when Bumrah won't get wickets," Rohit said at the post-match press conference.

Updated World Test Championship Points Table After Australia Beat India In Pink-Ball Test

After a harrowing defeat in the Perth Test, Australia bounced back to maintain their 100 percent record in pink-ball Tests at the Adelaide Oval, beating India by 10 wickets. India put in a disappointing display, especially with the bat, scoring just 180 and 175 in the two innings of the day-night Test. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rishabh Pant were the only two batters to put in some sort of a fight while veterans like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, etc. failed to inspire. Even experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, brought into the team in place of Washington Sundar, had a disappointing outing.

Watch: Mohammed Siraj, Travis Head Engage In Animated Chat After India Star's "Abused" Accusation

Tussled, altercations and confrontations are all part of the game but as Mohammed Siraj dismissed Travis Head on Day 2 of the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide, a few lines were crossed. The Australia batter admitted that his face-off with Siraj went a little overboard on Saturday while also claiming that he praised the India pacer's bowling, though jokingly. However, Siraj later countered Head's claims, suggesting the Adelaide Test centurion didn't say "well bowled" and lied about the incident in the press conference after the second day's play. However, it was nice to see the two burying the hatchet during the third day's play which concluded with a hug being exchanged between them.

"Prithvi Shaw Is His Own Enemy": India Star's Ex-Coach Minces No Words In Brutal Rant

Former India batter Pravin Amre has urged out-of-favour star Prithvi Shaw to lose 10kgs of his body fat. Amre, who has worked with Shaw during his time at Delhi Capitals, feels that the batter must need to focus on fitness if he wants to make a comeback. Once deemed as the 'next Sachin Tendulkar', Shaw has fallen out of favour both internationally and domestically. He was recently dropped by Mumbai for the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, owing to poor fitness. Amre also labelled Shaw "his own enemy", saying that no one can help him if he doesn't help himself.
