Former Australia Spinner Says He Wants To See Captain Rohit Sharma "Under Pressure"

India skipper Rohit Sharma has enjoyed a fine start to his captaincy career, after taking over the job from Virat Kohli. Under his leadership, India recently clean swept the West Indies (ODIs and T20Is) and Sri Lanka (T20Is and Tests) on home soil. While agreeing that Rohit has started his India captaincy reign on a high, former Australia spinner Brad Hogg said that the 33-year-old batter is yet to lead the team against top teams like Australia, who later tour India this year to play four Tests. Hogg feels Rohit's biggest test will come against the big teams, as well as during the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.

India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd Test: Shreyas Iyer negates spinners on turner with superb 92, pacers put Sri Lanka on the mat under lights

Shreyas Iyer's pyrotechnics with the bat drove India to a position of strength after Sri Lanka made early inroads on a spinner-friendly track with the second Test heavily tilting in favour of the hosts on Saturday. The bright afternoon sun in the beginning of the Day/Night contest did not allow the pink ball to swing enough and trouble the batters but the early and sharp turn on offer made life tough for the Indians, who were tottering at 126 for five at one stage. Scorecard | As it happenedRishabh Pant began the counter-attack with his fiery 39-run knock and Iyer carried forward the recovery work with his scintillating 92-run knock that helped India post a decent 252 in their first innings. Iyer's entertaining knock, that came off 98-balls and had 10 fours and four sixes, negated all the good work done by the visiting bowlers in the first session when they had taken four wickets, including that of skipper Rohit Sharma (15) and Virat Kohli (23). Iyer missed out on what would have been a deserving second Test hundred as he was stumped off left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama (3/81) while going for a big shot.

Pakistan vs Australia, 2nd Test: Aussies look to second spinner after Rawalpindi stalemate

The historic occasion -- Australia's first Test in Pakistan since 1998 -- was marred by a pitch described as "dead" by vice-captain Steve Smith as Pakistan piled up 728 runs for the loss of just four wickets, and one of those was a run out. Openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique both made maiden Test hundreds -- Imam scoring one in each innings -- while senior batsman Azhar Ali also passed three figures during five attritional days. The series now moves to Karachi's National Stadium, a favourite hunting ground for Pakistan, who have won 23 of the 43 Tests they have played there while losing only twice. Australia have never won in Karachi in eight attempts, losing five and drawing three.
