Photo: Debasis Sen/RevSportz   Subhayan Chakraborty at the Optus Stadium “5-0 to Australia,” said one local fan outside the Optus Stadium in Perth as the Indian team bus carrying a few players and coaching staff left the venue on the eve of the opening Test between the two top sides. “It could be reversed,” cheekily quipped an Indian fan waiting to catch a glimpse of the Indian players. The banter and anticipation is there to be seen. Not only among the fans, but it could get quite fiery between the two teams when play begins, and why not? The long-standing and storied rivalry between India and Australia is set to reach new heights as the two cricketing powerhouses face off in the first Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting Friday. It is a rare return to a series of this length between the sides, last seen more than three decades ago, and the stakes could not be higher. With the World No. 1 Test ranking, World Test Championship (WTC) standings, and legacies on the line, this clash promises to rewrite cricket books. India, the holders of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, have enjoyed a golden run in the rivalry, winning the last four series. This includes landmark back-to-back series victories in Australia in 2018/19 and 2020/21, the latter secured with a depleted squad in what many regard as one of the greatest comebacks in cricketing history. However, the visitors arrive in Perth bruised after an uncharacteristic 0-3 Test series defeat at home to New Zealand—a result that ended more than a decade of dominance on home soil. Australia, meanwhile, have been in imperious form. The World Test champions enter the series on the back of a stellar 2023 campaign, highlighted by victories over India in both the WTC Final and the 50-over World Cup. Boasting a formidable squad and an enviable record at home, Pat Cummins’ men are firm favourites, especially at the pace-friendly Optus Stadium, where they have won all four Tests played since the venue opened in 2018. India’s Challenges India’s preparations have been hampered by injuries and absences, starting with captain Rohit Sharma, who will miss the opener following the birth of his second child. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami is unavailable as he continues his recovery, while opener Shubman Gill, arguably one of India’s most consistent batters in recent times, is set to miss the Test with a thumb injury. These absentees have forced India to rejig their line-up. Jasprit Bumrah, India’s premier fast bowler, will lead the side in Rohit’s absence. KL Rahul is set to return to the opening slot despite his patchy form, partnering the exciting Yashasvi Jaiswal. DevduttPadikkal is expected to step into the pivotal No. 3 role, while the in-form Dhruv Jurel is poised to bat at No. 6 after impressive performances for India A against Australia A. It could be a double-edged sword for India. While the youngsters, in the recent times, have played some brave cricket, taking down the Aussies in their home is a different ball game altogether. The Indian bowling attack remains potent. Bumrah, backed by Mohammed Siraj, forms a lethal seam-bowling duo, with either of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin providing spin and control in the middle overs. While the batting lineup appears fragile, India’s bowlers have the ability to dictate terms, especially if they can make early inroads against Australia’s top order. Whether the exciting Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna can make a name for themselves in pace-friendly Australian conditions, with the Kookaburra, remains to be seen. Nitish Kumar Reddy, the 21 year old with barely any experience in red-ball cricket, is set to debut as India’s only pace-bowling all-rounder option. “We are very well prepared,”Bumrah said in the pre-match press conference. “We came here early, got some time at the WACA Ground, and a lot of the youngsters were coming here for the first time.

When we came here for the first time as well, we got less time than this, and we still ended up winning the series. I love the responsibility. I wanted to do the tough job ever since I was a child. Always wanted to be in the thick of things. I have a lot of faith in my instincts and gut. As for fast-bowling captains, Pat (Cummins) has done a phenomenal job.In the past for India, Kapil Dev did a fabulous job.” Australia’s Confidence Australia, in contrast, enjoys the luxury of a settled line-up. Nathan McSweeney, who has been in sublime form in the Sheffield Shield, will debut as opener alongside Usman Khawaja. The middle order, anchored by the prolific Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, looks as solid as ever. Smith, in particular, thrives against India, averaging an extraordinary 83.23 in home Tests against them. The hosts’ bowling attack, spearheaded by captain Cummins, is well-suited to the Perth conditions. Cummins is ably supported by Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, with the ever-reliable Nathan Lyon offering spin options. Lyon’s record against India at home—60 wickets—makes him a key figure in breaking partnerships on what is likely to be a hard and bouncy wicket.Mitchell Marsh is set to be Australia’s medium-pace option, along with Marnus Labuschagne, who has switched to medium-pace bowling this season. “For about half in the change room, we haven’t won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, so it’s one of the last things to tick off,” said Cummins. “With every challenge that was thrown at us over the last few years, we have stepped up and done well. We know India is right up there with one of the best teams in the world, so we are excited. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has always been very tight every series.Five Test-match series gets really attritional, it’s a big one really. There will always be pressure when you are playing at home. India are a very talented side and it will be a good challenge. But we are not looking too far ahead.” Key Battles to Watch Steve Smith vs Jasprit Bumrah: Smith’s record against India (2,042 runs at 65.87) underscores his dominance, but Bumrah has troubled him with pace and movement in the past. This battle could define the series. Virat Kohli vs Pat Cummins: Kohli, one of India’s finest batters in Australian conditions, will look to lead from the front. However, Cummins, who boasts 152 wickets at 19.69 in home Tests, will be eager to exploit any weaknesses. Australian openers vs Indian seamers: McSweeney and Khawaja must withstand the fiery opening spells of Bumrah and Siraj. Success here could lay the foundation for big totals. The Perth Factor Optus Stadium has become a fortress for Australia. Their last four wins here—by margins of 146, 296, 164, and 360 runs—highlight the challenge awaiting India. The pitch is expected to offer pace and bounce, favouring the quick bowlers, but the recent rain in Perth may prevent significant deterioration, making it a fairer contest for batters. It is going to be ‘Fast and Furious’, as per Western Australia head curator Isaac McDonald. Weather Forecast The weather in Perth may cause some early jitters, with a 25% chance of light morning showers on Day 1. However, interruptions are unlikely, and the pitch is expected to remain conducive to high-quality cricket throughout the match. Head-to-Head and Historical Context India and Australia have faced off in 107 Tests, with Australia holding the upper hand with 45 wins to India’s 32. On Australian soil, the disparity is more pronounced: Australia have won 30 of the 52 matches, with India claiming just nine victories. However, India’s recent record Down Under—winning the last two series—will give them confidence despite the odds. Players to Watch Virat Kohli: With 1,352 runs at an average of 54.08 in 13 Tests in Australia, Kohli’s performances could be pivotal in anchoring India’s batting. While his form has dipped in recent years, he remains capable of match-winning knocks. Marnus Labuschagne: Labuschagne’s consistency at home (2,623 runs at 62.

45) makes him a key player. His ability to adapt and build long innings could frustrate India’s bowlers. Nathan Lyon: With 259 wickets in 67 home Tests, Lyon’s role cannot be understated. His record against India, particularly in the middle overs, will be crucial in maintaining pressure. Who has the edge? On paper, Australia. A settled line-up, excellent form, and familiarity with home conditions makes them favourites, especially in Perth, where they have dominated. India, however, have a knack of defying expectations, as seen in their epic comeback in 2020/21. If Bumrah and Siraj can exploit the conditions early and Kohli or Rahul can produce a standout innings, India might challenge the hosts. But with their top order in transition and missing key players, the visitors face an uphill battle.

Litton Das and Rishabh Pant experienced a difficult moment during the first Test match between India and Bangladesh in Chennai. India was struggling at 34/3, with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Viral Kohli back in the pavilion. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Pant were attempting to form a collaboration.

Taskin Ahmed produced a full delivery in the 16th over, which Jaiswal smashed toward mid-on. Pant was going for a single when the ball swerved off his leg, allowing him to finish the run.

Litton Das was not thrilled with this and spoke with Pant about his displeasure. Many people talked about the incident on Twitter as it garnered attention on social media.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, the captain of Bangladesh, won the toss and chose to bowl first on the dry Chennai field. The choice proved advantageous as Rohit Sharma was removed in the sixth over. India's problems got worse when Shubman Gill was out without adding a run, leaving the team at 28/2.

Virat Kohli then came in with hopes of stabilizing the innings, but Hasan Mahmud soon dismissed him for a low score. It was left to Pant and Jaiswal to reconstruct the innings.

By the time lunch arrived, India had bounced back. Pant scored 33 off 44 balls and Jaiswal 37 off 62 balls. They formed a 50-run partnership while looking at ease in the middle.

Afghanistan National Cricket Team Vs. India National Cricket Team Timeline

There was a lot of debate and tension as the third Twenty20 International between India and Afghanistan ended. There were questions because it wasn't clear whether Rohit Sharma was "retired out" or "retired hurt" during the first super-over. If it were the first one, Sharma wouldn't have been able to bat again, but he did, which suggests a clever move based on the rules' lack of clarity. The game was fascinating, and the regular match ended in a tie at 212. Rohit's excellent hundred, coming after two ducks in the earlier games, was the game's high point. India returned from a dangerous 22 for four thanks to his heroics and a record fifth-wicket combination. This set up a nail-biting finish. Afghanistan, on the other hand, didn't give up and made it to a super over. Let's dive deep into the Afghanistan National Cricket Team vs. India National Cricket Team Timeline.

"Love To Look At Things In Positive Manner": Sanju Samson Ahead Of ICC T20 WC 2024 Opener

Ahead of their opener against Ireland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, India wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson said that he positively looks at things while reflecting on failures and successes in his career.

Samson, who made his international debut in 2014 in a T20I match, has had ups and downs, having played just 25 T20Is and 16 ODIs for India over the last decade.

His T20 stats have been disappointing as he has scored just 374 runs at an average of 18.70 with one half-century. a strike rate of 133.09 and the best score of 77.

Samson has made his way into the T20 WC squad after a career-best Indian Premier League (IPL) which helped take Rajasthan Royals (RR) to the playoffs. He scored 531 runs at an average of 48.27 and a strike rate of 153.46, with five half-centuries. His best score was 86*.

The Kerala-born cricketer asserted that at the time when a cricketer is young and successful, he tries to skip a few lessons.

"I love to look at things in a more positive manner. If it's a failure or setback, you learn through it. When you are young and successful, you skip a few lessons. I am blessed with my talent, which comes naturally to me as a batter" Samson said in a video posted by BCCI.

The 29-year-old further stated that right from the moment he arrived in the United States, he had taken out all the things regarding Indian Premier which is in his mind.

"Right from the moment I landed here, IPL has been away from my mind. I tell myself that I am somewhere where people dream of going. Then I was like, what else do I need to do? Mentally I did not have to motivate myself. Things happen automatically. When you meet Rohit and Virat, you get inspired and there is no looking back. How can Sanju help India win more games, what it is like to be a WC player for India? I am very grateful for the support wherever I go," the wicketkeeper added.

In the end, Samson said that he loves to change and adapt according to the conditions.

"The biggest lesson as a cricketer and human is that the change is constant. You cannot say that this is the only way to play. I love to change and adapt as per conditions. You can't be the same Sanju Samson," the right-hand batter concluded.

India will start their T20 World Cup campaign on June 5 against Ireland at the newly constructed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan will take place on June 9. India will later play tournament co-hosts USA (June 12) and Canada (June 15) to wrap up their Group A matches.

In the tournament, India will be aiming to end their ICC trophy drought, having last won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. Since then, India has reached the 50-over World Cup final in 2023, semifinal in 2015 and 2019, the title clash of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 and 2023, T20 WC final in 2014, semifinals in 2016 and 2022 but failed to secure a big ICC trophy.

India squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. SirajReserves: Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan.

IPL 2024: Once He Starts Facing More Balls, He Will Score Lot Of Runs, Broad Reflects On Buttler s Lean Patch

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former England cricketer Stuart Broad shared insights on Rajasthan Royals opener Jos Buttler's form in the ongoing IPL season, suggesting that once the wicket-keeper batter begins facing more deliveries, he will accumulate a higher run tally. Buttler, who had a stellar performance during the 2022 IPL season, where he amassed 863 runs featuring four centuries, struggled to find his rhythm in the 2024 tournament. His initial three games yielded modest scores of 11, 11, and 13, indicating a lacklustre start to the season. Acknowledging Buttler's recent lean patch since the 50-over World Cup in India and his struggles with the leadership of England team, Broad expressed optimism about the 33-year-old wicketkeeper batter's fresh approach in IPL. "He's been in a bit of a lean patch since the 50-over World Cup in India. He struggled with the leadership of the England team and appeared physically and emotionally tired. However, I believe he's coming into this IPL refreshed. Although he hasn't quite found his form in this tournament yet, he's been dismissed twice by some pretty good bowling," Broad told official broadcaster Star Sports. Broad anticipates that IPL 2024 could be the platform for Buttler to shine, especially given his strong partnership with fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, potentially propelling the Rajasthan Royals into the playoffs contention. "I think this will be the tournament where he plays well. He has a great relationship with Jaiswal at the top of the order, and if both of them fire, Rajasthan Royals will certainly make the playoffs, if not challenge for the trophy. So, I think we need to be patient with him. Once he starts facing a lot of balls, he's going to score a lot of runs in this tournament," he added. Rajasthan are currently second in the points table with three wins in as many as matches. They will play host to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their next match on Saturday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Read the full article

Worries Still Regard Shreyas Iyer’s Short Ball Issues

Shreyas Iyer might find it challenging to completely alter his approach at the age of over thirty, given his established muscle memory.

Shreyas Iyer arrived for an optional training session and immediately strolled outside the Newlands Stadium for throwdowns, just before the start of the second Test in Cape Town. Along with batting instructor Vikram Rathour, the two throwdown gurus Nuwan Senaviratne, a southpaw side-armer, and Raghavendra were putting on a show from eighteen yards away.

The intention was to prepare the showy Mumbaikar for short balls, which have plagued him in all forms of cricket since his debut. A few minutes into the workout, he launched one mean, short throwdown from eighteen yards into the body, which kicked up from length. The reduced distance traveled meant that there were more than 150 clicks.

The patch of flesh between his upper and lower abdomen was struck by the bat because it did not descend quickly enough.

He was groaning in pain and flung his bat. He remained in a squat, struggling to breathe, until the physiotherapist and other staff members arrived to see how he was doing.

The problem was not only technical but also psychological because Iyer didn’t appear at all at ease, but the Kolkata Knight Riders captain had no rivals because there wasn’t a good middle order reserve hitter in the lineup.

After six knockout games in SENA countries so far, his scores were as follows: 15 and 19 in Birmingham, 31 and 6 in Centurion, and 0 and 4 not out in Cape Town. It is currently less than 40 on his test average, down from around 50.

Iyer can undoubtedly be considered a master against spinners, and he should have no trouble confronting Chris Woakes or James Anderson to deliveries that are below knee roll.

However, when December 2024–25 rolls around on Australian tracks, Iyer’s problems will undoubtedly get worse if he doesn’t make a drastic technical shift in his game with appropriate head balance and perhaps a cheekier stance.

However, he is almost thirty years old and has developed muscle memory, so it might be challenging to turn his game around.

When a bouncer was bowled at Mohinder Amarnath’s right shoulder in the 1982–1983 season, he would take it on the body and hook it imperiously with his left shoulder. This was part of his slightly chest-on stance.

Iyer will have to blaze his own trail, but that’s easier said than done.

Iyer is a player whose main method of play is with his hands; his footwork is not very noticeable. He therefore consistently plays from the back foot, even on deliveries where he should be on the front foot, on bouncey tracks because he is mentally prepared for a short ball.

His feet are freezing because he believes he will only ever be given small balls to eat.

“My role is to instill trust in them. Regarding Iyer, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal—three of the greatest batsmen in Indian history—who found it difficult to deal with bounce, skipper Rohit Sharma remarked, “KL, Rohit, and Kohli, we have all learned from travelling.”

“They’ll discover what to do and don’t do. The situation is not the same in India. India is a very difficult country as well. In India, we have also witnessed similar wickets. Moving forward, it will also be difficult.

These kinds of situations are what you need to learn from. You gain confidence when you perform well in these circumstances, Rohit remarked.

Still, there are many who disagree. Former Indian batter Sanjay Manjrekar stated in a conversation with ESPNcricinfo that he is “not so sure” about Iyer but believes Gill and Jaiswal will find out by the time the Australia tour arrives.

Iyer recently took exception at being questioned about his problems with short ball.

“What do you mean?” He had retorted that he believed it to be a fabricated perception.

Now that he’s in denial mode, Iyer could only be able to change his direction once he acknowledges that he has technical problems when playing short ball.

[ad_1] Sanju Samson vs South Africa, 1st T20I in Durban (PC: BCCI)   Sanju Samson smacked 10 sixes in total in the opening game of the T20I series against South Africa in Durban. Among all those bazooka hits, a single stroke was enough to gauge the calibre of his stunning 50-ball 107. In the 13th over bowled by the medium pacer, Andile Simelane, Samson employed his back foot trigger. The next frame of the action was about Samson taking a step forward to unfurl an eye-popping lofted stroke over long-off.   Samson too perhaps enjoyed that sumptuous stroke. For a moment, he looked up and then didn’t even bat an eyelid as he watched the ball sail into the stands. That one stroke also told something about Samson’s pedigree as a batter.  Right at that juncture, just a quick glance at Samson’s record was enough to assess that he has had a chequered international career. Whether people have been unfair on him is a different debate altogether. For the record, the wicketkeeper-bat has played only 50 limited-overs games since he made his India debut in Zimbabwe.   Earlier in the year, he couldn’t find a place in the playing XI during India’s victorious T20 World Cup campaign in the Caribbean and the USA. To make matters worse, he couldn’t even score a run in the T20I rubber in Sri Lanka. With Samson approaching 30 years of age, one wondered whether the Indian think-tank would continue to show faith in the wicketkeeper-bat.   The backroom staff comprising Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav, however, backed Samson. Soon, Samson charted a turnaround with a whirlwind hundred in the T20I series against Bangladesh. The bigger picture to emerge from these two hundreds is Samson seems to have finally established his place in the Indian side in the shortest format.   Rohit Sharma, the former skipper, who opened the batting for a period of time, has retired from T20Is. Virat Kohli too took the same decision after the World Cup final versus South Africa in Barbados. Abhishek Sharma, Samson’s current opening partner, is not making his chances count. In that backdrop, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal could be in contention for the other opening slot.   It is true that Rishabh Pant is still in the mix. But with due respect to one of India’s finest Test cricketers, his stats in T20Is don’t make for a great reading: 1209 runs at a strike rate of 127.26. There is a school of thought that if a pace bowler ends up bowling relatively fuller lengths and in the channel outside the off-stump, Pant struggles a bit to score runs through that area.   Meanwhile, Samson explored almost every nook and cranny of the ground in the first T20I in Durban. Yes, he might find it a little more difficult to force the pace on slower wickets. But with India elevating him to the top of the order, that vexing problem is set to be solved. Samson now has the license to play with freedom in the powerplay and there is the added advantage of the new ball coming on to the bat.     There has never been any doubt over Samson’s gift-wrapped skills. Even as far back as 2013, in a Rajasthan Royals-Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL game, an 18-year-old Samson had crunched a splendid loft off Murali Karthik. The memory of that shot is evocative. Not because of the unruffled elegance on display. But more so because the stroke  gave the impression that Samson has immense potential to succeed at higher levels.   More than a decade later, when Samson essayed a sublime loft in Kingsmead, there was a gut feel that the wicketkeeper-bat has finally found his mojo in the international arena.

India vs Australia, 2nd T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad And Ishan Kishan Achieve Rare Feat For India

Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India continued it's fiery form and registered a thumping 44-run victory over Australia in the second T20I on Sunday. Asked to bat first, India posted a whopping total of 235/4 in 20 overs with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Ishan Kishan scoring stunning half-centuries. Later, the hosts restricted Australia to 191/9 with Prasidh Krishna and Ravi Bishnoi taking three wickets each. Apart from this magnificent win, Team India has also registered a rare feat in the shortest format.

It was for the first time that India's top three batters scored 50 plus runs in a T20I match. It was only the fifth time in the history of the shortest format that such an achievement was registered.

Talking about the match, opener Jaiswal led the charge of India's young brigade with a sparkling 53 off 25 balls, guiding India to a massive 235 for four in the company of Ishan (52 off 32 balls) and Gaikwad (58 off 43 balls).

Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi (3/32) then muffled the Australian top-order with two quick blows, and the visitors were eventually limited to 191 for nine despite aggressive knocks by Tim David (37 off 22 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (45 off 25 balls).

Pacer Prasidh Krishna grabbed three wickets to accentuate Australia's fall as they lost five wickets for 16 runs.

Both the teams will now meet again on Tuesday for the third T20I match of the five-match series in Guwahati.

R Ashwin Reacts to Unusual Delay in 3rd T20I Start with Epic Tweet

The commencement of the 3rd T20 match between India and West Indies took an unexpected turn as a peculiar delay unfolded. Just as the players were poised for the action to kick off, a unique episode occurred. The umpire's call for play was momentarily halted, directing the players to vacate the field. The reason? The ground staff needed to mark the missing 30-yard circle. Though the mistake was swiftly rectified, the delay extended the start time by 5 minutes.

Key Points to Note

India clinched victory in the 3rd T20 by 7 wickets.

An atypical delay led to the postponement of the match's commencement.

Suryakumar Yadav's impressive innings of 83 off 44 balls stood out in the match.

R Ashwin's Insight on the Unusual Delay The delay triggered swift reactions on social media, with netizens expressing their astonishment at the Providence Stadium ground management's blunder. Among these responses, seasoned Team India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin voiced his perspective. He termed the delay "unique" and emphasized that a cricketer must always be prepared for the unexpected.

In Ashwin's words, "Unique delay! It’s not an easy place to tour for reasons like this. As a cricketer one has to be switched on all the time and always expect the unexpected. All the best to @ybj_19 💪💪 Go well Chinni Paiyaa 🤩 #INDvsWI" – Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) August 8, 2023.

Recap of the India vs. West Indies 3rd T20 Opting to bat first after winning the toss, West Indies secured a solid opening with Kyle Mayers and Brandon King at the helm. The partnership took the team past the 50-run mark. However, the run rate lagged, reaching just under 8. India was presented with a target of 160 to chase.

India's chase began on a challenging note, with debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal departing after a brief innings. Shubman Gill's struggles continued as he managed only 6 runs off 11 balls. Amid this predicament, Suryakumar Yadav and emerging batting sensation Tilak Varma took charge. Their assault on the West Indies' attack shifted the momentum in India's favor. Suryakumar Yadav's masterful 83 off 44 balls earned him the man of the match award, while Varma's unbeaten 49 off 37 played a crucial role. The partnership propelled India to victory by 7 wickets.

The match's unforeseen delay and subsequent thrilling gameplay showcased the unpredictable nature of cricket, highlighting the sport's ability to deliver surprises even beyond the boundary lines.
