[ad_1] Debasis Sen with Virat Kohli and Kohli’s signed jersey for him from the BGT 2018 (PC: Debasis Sen) Indian cricket team will embark on a five-Test series against Australia, starting from November 22 at the Optus stadium in Perth. It is going to be a challenging couple of months for the Indian cricketers Down Under, as Pat Cummins & Co will come hard at the tourists, having lost the previous two Test series against the same opponents in their backyard. This will be the third Test series that I will be covering in Australia, previous two being in 2011-12 and 2018-19. Team Revsportz will be Down Under at full strength to cover the series which promises to be an entertaining one. Myself and my editor-in-chief Boria da (Boria Majumdar) were part of the last two Test series in Australia. Talking about my memories of covering Test series in Australia, it is a mixed feeling. From covering the 0-4 drubbing of MS Dhoni’s side in 2011-12 to witnessing the first-ever Test series win on Australian soil on that rainy day at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on January 7, 2019 was very special for me as a photojournalist. It was even more memorable as I was presented with the match shirt by the Indian captain Virat Kohli moments after the Test series win. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Debasis Sen with Virat Kohli (PC: Debasis Sen) The celebrations which started at the SCG dressing-room went on at the Indian team hotel, with Bharat Army members joining the team. A day after I had the opportunity to record an interview of both Kohli and then Indian team Head Coach Ravi Shastri for Star Sports, for whom I was covering the series as a freelancer. I have had the privilege of covering Test series in all Test-playing nations over the last two decades. But nothing can match the charm of covering a Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) or a Test match at Lord’s. I still remember the spell bowled by Aussie pace duo James Pattinson and Peter Siddle during the Boxing Day Test in 2011. Michael Clarke’s side clinched the opening game of the series, beating India by 122 runs on Day 4. What followed over the next one-and-a-half months was complete humiliation for the Indian team. The highlight of that series was the performance of then Australia captain Michael Clarke, who amassed 626 runs at an average of 125, including a brilliant 329 not out at his home ground, SCG. The series had its share of controversies as well. On the eve of the third Test at WACA, this correspondent captured the ground staff having a beer party on the uncovered match pitch. Pitch curator Cameron Sutherland claimed it was a traditional event for the ground staff which had occurred since he took over the job as curator. Michael Clark for Australia (PC: Debasis Sen) Clearly the 2011-12 series Down Under was not a memorable one for the travelling Indian media. Cut to the 2018-19 series, when the Kohli-led India clinched their maiden Test series triumph on Australian soil. India registered a 2-1 win in the series following the victories in Adelaide and Melbourne. The scoreline could have been 3-1, but for the persistent rain on the final day of the series which forced a washout. The home side was made to follow-on for the first time since 1988. The architects of the series victory were Cheteshwar Pujara, who made 521 runs, including 193 in Sydney, and Jasprit Bumrah, who took 21 wickets at 17. On the eve of the Test, both teams were hosted by then Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison at the Kirribilli House in Sydney. I share the fond memories of being the only representative from the travelling Indian media to capture the moments of Indian players interacting with the Australian PM. Finally, as I am all set to travel to cover my third Test series on the Australian soil, I would hope the Indian team puts up a spirited show, leaving behind the embarrassing series loss against New Zealand at home.

Former Indian Cricketer Sourav Ganguly shatters the theory’ behind the defeat in the WTC final with a powerful 'Rahane' remark

The Indian cricket team faced a disappointing defeat in the finals of the World Test Championship earlier this month. Australia's cricket team, led by Pat Cummins, defeated India by 209 runs, as India was looking far from their best in a weak performance at The Oval.

All members of the Indian squad bar Cheteshwar Pujara arrived in England shortly before the WTC Final that too in different batches because of respective schedules in the 2023 Indian Premier Leagueand after the loss, the Indian team management was criticised for not allocating enough time to adapting to English conditions.

In an interview, former India captain Sourav Ganguly opened up about the debate that the Indian team was undercooked due to the IPL. Ganguly said, "I don't agree with this theory. Ajinkya Rahane also played in the IPL, and he played very well during the IPL and World Test Championship finals. So I don't believe in this theory. Some of the Australian boys (Cameron Green, David Warner) played well in the IPL and did well in the World Test Championship."

He further added that, After the IPL finished, there was enough time to acclimatise to Test cricket. They went to England, and they played. It used to happen in the past. You played ODI cricket and you played Test cricket; things used to happen very, very quickly, so I don't believe it's an issue. So I believe that even if you play IPL, you should have the ability to adjust your technique and temperament and do well in a Test match."

La BCCI a annoncé l'équipe indienne pour la prochaine série de balles blanches contre la Nouvelle-Zélande et deux tests contre l'Australie, où le frappeur Suryakumar Yadav a remporté la convocation insaisissable dans le format le plus long. L'annonce a été une nouvelle déception pour le batteur Sarafaraz Khan, qui a de nouveau été négligé par les sélecteurs, malgré une course fulgurante au cricket national. Lors du trophée Ranji 2021-22, le joueur de cricket de 32 ans a marqué 982 courses à une moyenne de 122,75 avec quatre siècles et deux demi-siècles. Son score le plus élevé était de 275. Dans une récente interview avec le Temps de l'IndeSarfaraz a révélé qu'il avait rencontré les sélectionneurs lors du match final 2021-22 du Trophée Ranji, où ils lui avaient demandé d'être "prêt" pour une convocation de Team India pour la série Bangladesh. "Lors de la finale du Trophée Ranji à Bangalore, quand j'ai marqué un siècle, j'ai rencontré les sélectionneurs. On m'a dit que 'vous aurez votre chance au Bangladesh. Soyez prêt pour cela.' Récemment, j'ai rencontré Chetan Sharma monsieur (sélecteur en chef) lors de notre enregistrement à l'hôtel à Mumbai. Il m'a demandé de ne pas me décourager et que mon heure viendrait. Les bonnes choses mettent du temps à arriver. Vous êtes très proche ( à une place en Inde). Vous aurez votre chance. Donc, quand j'ai joué un autre coup important, j'avais des attentes. Mais ça va, " Sarfaraz a déclaré au Times of India. De nombreux fans et experts du cricket se sont manifestés et ont exprimé leur déception face à l'exclusion du frappeur de Mumbai de l'équipe nationale. Sarfaraz a déclaré qu'il se sentait vraiment "triste" et "seul" après qu'il n'ait pas été nommé dans l'équipe. « Quand l'équipe a été annoncée et que mon nom n'y figurait pas, j'étais très triste. N'importe qui à ma place dans ce monde aurait été triste, parce que je m'attendais à être choisi, mais je n'ai pas été (choisi). Hier, j'étais triste toute la journée, lorsque nous avons voyagé de Guwahati à Delhi. Je pensais à quoi et pourquoi c'était arrivé. Je me sentais très seul. J'ai pleuré aussi", a-t-il dit. Pendant ce temps, l'édition en cours du trophée Ranji l'a vu amasser 431 courses à une moyenne de 107,75 et un taux de grève de 70,54 avec deux siècles et un demi-siècle. En termes de moyenne (80,47) au cricket de première classe, il ne se situe que derrière le légendaire Don Bradman (95,14). Équipe indienne pour les deux premiers tests contre l'Australie Rohit Sharma (capitaine), KL Rahul (vice-capitaine), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), R. Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja , Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Suryakumar Yadav.

Girilal Jain, the late editor of The Times of India, used to say that, in India, politics sets the pace and everything else follows in its wake.

So, just like some news channels are completely in the thrall of some political parties, some news channels are also the go-to stations for cricket bosses.

After the Board of Control for Cricket in India issued show cause notices to cricketers K.L. Rahul and Hardik Pandya for off-colour comments made on the TV chat show Koffee with Karan, The Telegraph reports that BCCI bosses are themselves not beyond reproach.

Lokendra Pratap Sahi, the veteran cricket writer, points out that the former Comptroller and Auditor-General of India, the Supreme Court-appointed administrator Vinod Rai and the CEO Rahul Johri are guilty of “breach of protocol”…

“…giving permission to an ultra-friendly English news channel for interviews immediately after a historic Test series win.

“The news channel, which kept quiet right through the inquiry into allegations of sexual harassment against Johri, was alone given the okay to interview head coach Ravi Shastri, vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, man of the series Cheteshwar Pujara, and bowling coach Bharat Arun.”

Two members of the support staff of the team are quoted as saying:

“That news channel got permission from the higher authorities. It had to be implemented.”

“Why is Vinod Rai doling out favours to one news channel and one news agency?” writes Lokendra Pratap Sahi, while pointing out that the woman cricketer Mithali Raj‘s email had been leaked to the same news channel.

***

It takes no genius to come to the conclusion that the “ultra-friendly news channel” in question is India Today.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

India Today bossman Aroon Purie is a neighbour of Vinod Rai’s (and Karan Thapar‘s) on Palam Marg in New Delhi’s plush Vasant Vihar locality.

And the reporter in question is Boria Majumdar, who left his post at Times Now in dramatic circumstances at the height of the Lalit Modi-N. Srinivasan kerfuffle, and joined India Today on a consulting basis.

If nothing else, The Telegraph story shows what a minefield cricket reporting has become in the era of big bucks, where reporters openly align themselves with players, administrators (and indeed sponsors and advertisers).

  Why is BCCI rolling out the red carpet to one “ultra-friendly English news channel”—India Today TV if you really want to know its name? Girilal Jain, the late editor of The Times of India, used to say that, in India, politics sets the pace and everything else follows in its wake.

Pujara begins training amidst uncertain cricket calendar

CRICKET AFTER CORONA

Known for his ‘never say die’ attitude with the bat, India’s number three batsman, Cheteshwar Pujara, is bringing those very qualities into the fold as he awaits for resumption of cricket post Covid-19 pandemic that has engulfed the world.

The 32-year old top-order batsman returned to training at his home base of Rajkot – three months after helping Saurashtra secure their maiden Ranji title. With India battling the pandemic, and resumption of any cricket at home looking uncertain, Pujara still believes that he’s back into the scheme of things at the right time.

“You have to start at some point and it is important “, the soft-spoken top-order batsman said in an interview with Press Trust of India (PTI). “If you are going to the ground, you are getting used to the sun and outdoor environment. Most players have been indoors for such a long time,” he added.

Pigeonholed as a Test batsman, Pujara’s next India stint might not come before the team’s tour of Australia in December, where they are scheduled to play four Tests. Amidst the pandemic and lockdowns imposed across several parts of the country – the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has ceded that the domestic season might not even start on time – leaving cricketers across the country with no choice but to play the waiting game.

Pujara though says his mental fortitude, which has helped him concentrate for hours together at the crease, has come in aid during these testing situations. I don’t see any series happening for the next two-three months, so one has to take things gradually,” he pointed out.

“If you are mentally tough, you can take a long break comfortably. Test matches don’t happen frequently so one has to play domestic cricket. It was not such a big thing for me and to come back from it, I will be fresh and more eager to play. The mental challenge is not an issue for me,” he asserted.

Having hit the nets, the right-handed batsman is slowly getting into the groove, preferring to bat around 20-25 minutes – thrice a week. With time, he’s looking to gradually increase the level of intensity as he looks forward to the upcoming season. “Once you are outdoors it is a different feeling altogether. Training here is obviously not the same as you get in a team environment but at least you are doing something to get yourself going.

“Nobody knows what the situation will be three-four months down the line, when the next series will be held. The next few months are about preparation and getting back into the game. It is too far to think about the next series”

“Your body will start moving a bit once you have a routine. As a cricketer, it is important to start whenever possible and adhere to the government guidelines (on social distancing) at the same time,” he noted.

Pujara has had his fair share of injury-related absence from the sport, but he insisted that he did remain active during the lock down period. “Getting back from an injury is much tougher than this. When I was injured in the past (2008 and 2011), I resumed training after a long time, longer than this but lockdown was different. I was still active when I was indoors (with the fitness routine),” the Saurashtra batsman said.

“Obviously, it feels a little different when you are holding a bat after a long time but because I worked on my fitness, it is helping now that I am playing again,” he added.

Having not played a competitive game of cricket since long, the fear of losing touch with the bat might haunt several batsman, but Pujara is confident that ‘years of discipline and training’ wouldn’t go waste. “The first week (of training) is tough. After a week you are back to normal, because you have played this game for such a long time, experience matters a lot,” he concluded.
