Over IPL Auction Clashing With Perth Test Blunt Digby T20 World Cup Champion

Image
With the third and fourth days of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Perth clashing with the IPL 2025 mega auction, former Australia captain Aaron Finch noted the influence of the BCCI in shaping key cricketing events. The IPL auction, taking place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will kick off shortly after the day’s play ends in Perth. Finch remarked, “It’s unusual that the auction overlaps with a test match. Time zones are different, so it’ll be after the day’s play, but having it between tests would have been ideal. The BCCI, when they want things to happen, usually get their way.” Callum Ferguson, another former Australian cricketer, expressed disappointment on Cricket Australia’s behalf. “It’s unfortunate for CA that this happens during a marquee series, especially Australia’s first home Test against their biggest rival. The IPL is a huge draw, but this scheduling is disappointing.” The pull of the IPL auction is so strong that several key figures will miss pa

Shubman Gill likely to return in IND vs AUS 2nd Test as his finger not fractured

Image
In a major relief for the Indian cricket team, Shubman Gill has not fractured his finger and is expected to return for the second Test against Australia. Gill injured his finger during a fielding drill ahead of the first test but has only sustained a minor tissue injury, with no fracture in his thumb. According to Rev Sportz, Gill is expected to be fit in time for the IND vs. AUS 2nd Test in Adelaide, which will be a day-night match. However, he is likely to miss the opening test in Perth. Gill was absent from India’s practice session on Tuesday while the rest of the team trained. A source earlier told the Indian Express, “His thumb is not looking good. A scan revealed a fracture, and it will take around two weeks for him to recover. We are hopeful he will be fit for the second Test given the gap between the two matches.” With both Rohit Sharma, who will miss the first Test for personal reasons after the birth of his second child, and Shubman Gill unavailable for the opener, captain Ja

Star Batsman of India picks his greatest Test knock in Australia

Image
Virat Kohli has played 13 Tests in Australia, amassing over 1300 runs and hitting six centuries, yet his most cherished innings came in a match India lost. Kohli considers his 123 in Perth during the 2018–19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the finest knock he has played in Australia. Only four Indian batters have ever scored a century in a Test at Perth — Sunil Gavaskar, MohinderAmarnath, Sachin Tendulkar, and Kohli — each century coming in challenging conditions. Perth is known for its fast, bouncy pitches, making it a tough venue for batters. Given the difficult conditions, it’s no surprise that Kohli ranks this innings as his best. His maiden Test century at Adelaide in 2012 and his twin centuries at the same ground in 2014 are also iconic, but Kohli’s respect for the challenge at Perth speaks volumes about the difficulty of batting there. Kohli even referred to it as the toughest surface he’s ever played on. “My best knock in Australia is definitely my hundred at Perth during the 2018–19

Jasprit Bumrah To Lead Visitors in Border-Gavaskar Trophy as Rohit Sharma Going To Miss 1st IND vs AUS Test

Image
Team India will begin the Border-Gavaskar Trophy without regular captain Rohit Sharma, who has opted to extend his break after the birth of his second child with wife Ritika Sajdeh. As a result, Rohit will miss the first Test against Australia, starting on November 22, in Perth. Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side in his absence. Rohit is expected to join the team ahead of the second Test, scheduled for December 6 at the Adelaide Oval. Rohit’s absence leaves a significant gap at the top of the order, particularly since India’s opening options are limited. Shubman Gill, who was the likely choice to replace Rohit, has reportedly sustained a finger injury, leaving the opening slot uncertain. Bumrah, taking on the captaincy for the second time in Tests, faces a challenging task in navigating India through the opening Test against a strong Australian side. India is under pressure to deliver, especially after a 0–3 whitewash at home against New Zealand, which has jeopardized their

India beat South Africa by 11 runs in 3rd T20I put India 2-1 up

Image
Batting first, Team India suffered an early setback when Sanju Samson fell cheaply, but Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma anchored the innings during the third T20I at SuperSport Park on Wednesday (November 13). After Abhishek’s dismissal, India faced further pressure with Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh all failing to make an impact. However, Tilak Varma’s brilliant century, scored at a strike rate of 191, rescued the visitors. His unbeaten 107 guided India to a commanding total of 219/6. South Africa’s chase started with an unexpected interruption due to a swarm of insects on the field. After play resumed, the hosts lost Ryan Rickelton and Reeza Hendricks within the powerplay but still managed to score over 50 runs in the first six overs. From there, it became a battle between India’s spinners and South Africa’s middle order. Heinrich Klaasen looked dangerous at one stage but was outwitted by Arshdeep Singh and Suryakumar Yadav’s sharp gameplan. David Miller had an off

Ex Indian Spinner Hails Virat Kohli says He is the Best Red Ball Captain

Image
Former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has expressed that Virat Kohli is the best red-ball captain, ahead of the highly anticipated India vs Australia Test series. Speaking on the Cricket Petta podcast, Sivaramakrishnan praised Kohli’s aggressive on-field attitude, drawing a comparison with the legendary Sir Vivian Richards. Kohli, after a challenging period in red-ball cricket, is gearing up for the Australian challenge in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Sivaramakrishnan emphasized the importance of players showing emotion on the field rather than being mechanical. He noted that Kohli’s intensity and attacking mindset reminded him of Sir Viv, who could intimidate bowlers with just his presence. He contrasted Kohli’s aggression with MS Dhoni’s calmness, naming Kohli as the best red-ball captain and Dhoni as the best in white-ball formats. “ViratKohli’s attacking attitude and MS Dhoni’s calm demeanor. For me, the best red-ball captain is Virat, and for white-ball, it’s Dhoni,” Sivaram
