From making Virat Kohli "angry" in the nets to castling Cheteshwar Pujara in a crucial Ranji Trophy match, Tamil Nadu pacer Gurjapneet Singh has caught the eyes of cricket lovers in India.

"If They Have An Injury...": New Zealand Coach's Mammoth Verdict On Rohit Sharma And Co

Injuries to key players don't affect the India and the brand of cricket they play in their backyard makes it “very difficult” for visiting teams, New Zealand head coach Gary Stead on Sunday. New Zealand will take on India in a three-Test series, which pacer Mohammed Shami is set to miss. The series-opener will begin on Wednesday. Stead said the depth in talent in Indian cricket ensures that the national side remains unaffected by the unavailability of players. "If they have an injury it does not seem to affect them like other teams. There is someone else who can come in who is equally adept," Stead told the media.

India's Likely XI vs New Zealand: Three Pace Attack In 1st Test? Gautam Gambhir Says This

The sight of a pitch with a fair smattering of grass and premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah putting in hard yards at nets might be the early signs of India sticking to the three pacers theory for the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru from Wednesday.

"There'll Be Days We'll be Out For 100...": Gautam Gambhir's Brave Stance As India Chase Glory

India head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Monday that he will not stop his batters from pursuing a "high risk, high reward" approach in Test cricket even if it means that the side gets bundled out for 100 on some days. India dished out their own version of 'Bazball' while chasing a victory in the recent Kanpur Test against Bangladesh after more than two days were lost to rain. The team defeated the visitors by seven wickets. "Why do we need to hold on to people? If they can play the natural game, if they can get 400-500 runs in a day, why not? We will play it that way -- high risk, high reward, high risk, high failure," Gambhir told reporters ahead of the three-match Test series against New Zealand that starts here on Wednesday.
