“Cheteshwar Pujara Waiting…”: Ravi Shastri’s No Nonsense Advice To Misfiring Shubman Gill | Cricket News

[ad_1] Young India batter Shubman Gill's recent form has proven to be a concern for the Indian team, especially in Tests. After managing just 23 runs in the first Test against England, Gill showed some intent before falling to James Anderson on 34. Gill has struggled to score runs ever since his recovery from dengue during the World Cup. His demotion to no. 3 in Tests, following Yashasvi Jaiswal's emergence as a reliable Test opener, also seems to be a work in progress. For more than a decade, Cheteshwar Pujara cemented his place in the Indian Test team, piling centuries and playing long...

“We Won’t Go”: Ravi Shastri Wants BCCI To Reject South Africa-Like Two Test Series Invitations Due To ‘Waste Of Time’ | Cricket News

[ad_1] Legendary India cricketer Ravi Shastri blasted the scheduling of the India-South Africa Test series as he called the two-match series a "waste of time". South Africa outplayed India completely in the first Test while the Rohit Sharma-led side claimed a historic win in the second Test match that lasted for just 107 overs. Shastri said on commentary that India should focus on playing either 'T20Is and Test matches or ODIs and Test matches' while touring and just refuse to play any two-match Test series in the future.“After watching this Test series, the Indian cricket establishment should make sure to never play just two Tests. If some country invites you for a two-Test series, say, ‘We won't go'. Two-Test match series are a waste of time. It's neither here nor there. Focus should b...
