“When You Get Opportunity…”: Rohit Sharma’s Blunt Message To “Other 3” Pacers After 1st Test Loss | Cricket News

[ad_1] Jasprit Bumrah lacked support from other end as there was no reason to concede 400 plus runs on a bowling friendly track where South African speedsters showed how to go about the job, a dejected Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said on Thursday. India lost the opening Test inside three days by an innings and 32 runs after scoring 245 and 131 in the two innings but the game-changer certainly was being taken for 408 runs by South Africa in their first innings.Save Bumrah, who took four wickets and to an extent Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna got pasting of their lives."This was not a 400-run wicket and we gave too many runs. We sprayed the ball all around, but it happens. One can't depend on one particular bowler (Bumrah), the other three pacers also needed to perform ...

“Hope He Proves Me Wrong”: Sunil Gavaskar Doubts India Star’s Preparedness For First Test vs South Africa | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Sunil GavaskarIndian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has been observing the current crop of cricketers from close range. As the Rohit Sharma-led team gears up for the South Africa challenge, Gavaskar analysed the preparedness of the unit to deliver on the big occasion. As far as rookie pacer Prasidh Krishna is concerned, Gavaskar doesn't think he is ready to deliver in the first Test against South Africa. Having recently returned form injury, the original Little Master doubts if Krishna can bowl longer spells, which is the requirement of Test cricket."I am not sure about Prasidh Krishna. He has come back from an injury. If he is required to bowl 15-20 overs in the day, I am not sure if he will be able to do that. I hope he proves me wrong because if anybody proves me w...

On Mohammed Shami’s Replacement For Boxing Day Test vs South Africa, Rohit Sharma Said… | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Indian cricket team.© AFPIndia pacer Mohammed Shami, who played a big role in the team's 2021 Test win at Centurion, will be missed during the two-match Test series against South Africa due to his left heel injury. At the beginning, Shami's participation in the Test series was subject to fitness but he failed to recover in time and therefore he was not cleared by the BCCI Medical Team. While admitting that Shami will be "big miss" during the Test series against South Africa, Rohit hinted that either of Mukesh Kumar or Prasidh Krishna will be filling in for the pacer while confirming the participation of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj."What he (Mohammed Shami) has done for our team over the years, obviously it's a big miss but someone will come in place of him, try...

KL Rahul To Play As Specialist Batter? Mohammed Shami’s Replacement? Two ‘Big Questions’ Troubling Rahul Dravid And Co Ahead Of South Africa Tests | Cricket News

[ad_1] The best combination as per conditions isn't always a team's best eleven and it will certainly be a struggle for India to find the right blend going into the opening Test against South Africa on 'Boxing Day'. At least two slots will give head coach Rahul Dravid sleepless nights. The tethering issues for India will be KL Rahul being asked to keep wickets to bolster the batting and the tricky task of choosing between Mukesh Kumar and Prasidh Krishna to replace the literally irreplaceable Mohammed Shami, who is recuperating from an ankle niggle.On the face of it, some decisions might look straightforward but things won't be as easy as it seems for the Indian team management, which will again have to make unpopular decisions.Mukesh or Prasidh?The Centurion track has primarily been a p...

Ruturaj Gaikwad Silences ‘Concerns’ Despite Bowlers Leaking 80 Runs In 5 Overs | Cricket News

[ad_1] The dew laden condition was the primary reason for Indian bowling attack's poor show in the third T20 International, where the home team failed to defend an imposing total of 222, vice-captain and opener Ruturaj Gaikwad said after the defeat. Indian bowlers leaked 80 runs in the last 5 overs while defending 222 as Glenn Maxwell's 47-ball-hundred, included 23 runs off the final over from Prasidh Krishna, who was smashed four boundaries and a six. For the record, Krishna's 0/68 in 4 overs is the worst T20I figure by any Indian bowler."I don't think so it's a concern because it's almost like you are bowling with a wet ball. And it's really tough on them," Gaikwad told reporters during the post-match press conference."In these kinds of conditions, 12 runs per over or even 13 or 14 run...
