24 December,2024 09:32 PM IST | Vadodara | PTIAhead of the Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma on Tuesday said that they are currently focussing only on the upcoming Test match and are looking forward to displaying a strong performance at Melbourne. Ahead of the fourth Test match against Australia, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma said that they are currently focusing only on the upcoming Test match in Melbourne and are looking to display a strong performance. The five-match Test series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. The third match ended in a draw and the fourth game is set to kick start on December 26. Also Read: "We need two spinners playing...": Rohit Sharma on Tanush Kotian's selection Team India started the series on a high note with a 295-run win in the first match. Later, they suffered a 10-wicket loss in the second match. The Gabba Test ended in a draw as the rain played the spoilsport. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Rohit said that India played "some really good cricket" at the Perth Test of the ongoing BGT series. "We played some really good cricket, we've been fortunate as well, when we won that test match, when you get bowled out for 150 runs, you feel that you are under pressure a little bit, and then the attitude from the boys, how they turned up and got Australia bowled out for 100 runs, shows that there is an attitude where nobody wants to give it up until the last day of the test match, or the last over of the test match is bowled, and that is the attitude we've been carrying for a long time now when you tour abroad, you know that you have to put in that extra effort, have that extra bit of attitude within the team, and that is something that we showed in that test match," Rohit said. He added that Team India was a little bit behind in the game at the Adelaide Test and didn't play well. The India skipper further said that both sides have displayed "solid cricket" in the ongoing BGT series "And then obviously in Adelaide, we were a little bit behind in the game, we didn't play well, which I admitted to. And then Brisbane obviously, there wasn't much, only 180 or 190 overs were bowled, so after three test matches, if I had to look at it being one-all, it's a fair reflection of how both teams have played, there's been solid cricket being played by both teams, and obviously now these two test matches are going to be so important for both teams, but we want to break it down to just Melbourne now and focus on what we can achieve here, get our things right, play well, bat well, bowl well, and take some good catches as well," he added. India Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicket-keeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.

24 December,2024 09:05 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAhead of the fourth Test match against Australia, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma backed all-rounder Tanush Kotian by saying that his performances in domestic cricket over the last two years have shown that he belongs to this level of the sport and is a good option for the team. Ahead of the fourth Test, Team India's think tank decided to hand Tanush Kotian his maiden call-up. He is added as the replacement of spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently announced his retirement from international cricket. Speaking in the pre-match presser, Rohit Sharma said that Kuldeep is not 100 per cent fit and had a hernia surgery while other spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel has recently been blessed with a baby. Moreover, Tanush had the experience of playing the India A-Australia A series before the BGT. Kotian featured in the second tour game in Melbourne, where despite falling for a duck in the first innings, Kotian returned with 44 runs and snapped a wicket in the second. "Yeah, Tanush was here a month back (for the Australia A) series. And Kuldeep (Yadav), I do not think, has a visa (laughs). And we wanted somebody to get here as quickly as possible. Tanush was the one who was ready and he played here," the skipper Rohit Sharma said. "Not that Tanush is not good enough. He has shown in the last two years what he has done in domestic cricket. And we really wanted just a backup in case, you know, we need two spinners playing here or in Sydney, you need a backup option." Also Read: Virat need to do find a way to continue staying at the crease: Matthew Hayden "Kuldeep, obviously, is not 100 per cent fit. He recently went through a hernia surgery. And the other options, like Axar, he had a baby, so he is not going to travel. So Tanush was the right option for us at this point. And he has certainly shown in the domestic level what he is capable of." "He is probably one of the reasons why Mumbai has gone on to win the Ranji Trophy last year. He played a major role as an all-rounder, in fact. So a very good option for us in case we need him. Just so that all areas are covered," he concluded. Tanush Kotian has been added to the squad as the spin all-rounder, who is also handy with the willow as well. Kotian made his first-class debut for Mumbai in 2018, aged just 20, picking up two wickets against Saurashtra in the first innings. Since then, he has accumulated 101 first-class wickets in the format, averaging 25.70, from 33 outings. He has been a mainstay in Mumbai's Ranji Trophy squad, with his batting coming to the fore as well - he has scored 1,525 runs so far, including two centuries and 13 half-centuries at an average of 41.21. As Mumbai lifted the Ranji trophy this year, Kotian finished as the Player of the Tournament with 29 wickets, while also scoring 502 runs at an impressive average of 41.83, including a century and five fifties in 14 innings. In the ongoing red-ball season in India, the 26-year-old has 12 wickets under his belt from five matches. Speaking about star India batter Virat Kohli's decline in form and tendency to fall consistently to outside off-stump balls, Rohit backed the "modern-day great", saying, "he will figure out his own way out of that path". Fans would be eager to witness the stunning performances from Virat Kohli. This year, across all the formats, the right-hander has been able to garner 614 runs with an average of 21.92. So far, he has one century and two half-centuries to his name with the top score of unbeaten 100 runs. In nine Tests this year, he has scored 376 runs at an average of 25.06, with just a century and fifty to his name in 17 innings. His best score is 100*. The decade of 2020s has not been kind to Virat Kohli, the Test batter. In 37 Tests and 64 innings, he has managed just 1,964 runs at an average of 31.67, with just three centuries and nine fifties and best score of 186. In the ongoing ICC World Test Championship final, Virat has scored 687 runs at an average of 36.15 in 12 matches and 21 innings, with two centuries and three fifties and the best score of 121. India's squad for fourth and fifth Tests: Rohit Sharma (C), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (WK), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Devdutt Padikkal, Tanush Kotian. (With ANI Inputs)
24 December,2024 07:50 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAhead of the Boxing Day Test, Ex-Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden lauded Virat Kohli, compared him to the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, and backed him to shine in the 4th Test at the MCG during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Also Read: Champions Trophy 2025: India vs Pakistan set to be played on February 23, here's the full schedule Speaking exclusively on Star Sports, Matthew Hayden shared his thoughts on what Virat Kohli should do in the Boxing Day Test: "There could have been magnificent wins, there could have been losses, there could have been spinning conditions—I mean, you can list off a hundred different areas where Virat Kohli, over his magnificent career, would have batted. But in Melbourne, he's going to have a good batting track. What he does need to do is find a way to continue staying at the crease. Flashing outside the off-stump is something that he's going to have to resist. And I suggest - he gets in line with the ball a bit more and looks to play down the ground a little bit more... I know he's a magnificent cover driver, but so was Sachin Tendulkar, and he put it away for a day. I sat in the gully licking my lips, thinking, you know what, this is magnificent, stubborn batting. I didn't look like getting a catch that day, and yet I felt like I was in the game that entire series. So, Sachin put away the cover drive, worked his way into the innings, hit off his legs beautifully, took on the spin, and addressed the areas of concern. He put a big cross through them and said, ‘Not on my watch today.’Virat Kohli has got that personality, and I'm sure we'll see it in Melbourne."

24 December,2024 04:50 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentAhead of the fourth Test match against Australia, Team India was practising at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During the net session, a video of an Australian citizen went viral on social media platforms in which he is seen introducing the Indian stalwart Virat Kohli to his son. "You see the batsman...4th batsman right at the end. His name is Virat Kohli, he is the best batsman in the world. Watch him...watch him", said the Australian dad to his son. Taking to Instagram: View this post on Instagram A post shared by 🇮🇳 (@the.d.edits) Virat Kohli has been the pillar of the Indian batting lineup over the years. Currently, the right-hander is experiencing a rough patch in his cricketing career, but that has not changed the intent of the stalwart. Also Read: "Modern-day greats figure out their own path": Rohit backs Virat Kohli So far, in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat Kohli has only managed to score one century. Five, seven, 11 and three are the number of runs scored in the rest of the innings. With a total of 126 runs scored with an average of 31.50, the figures are not something that the stalwart had hoped before heading for the tour. Virat Kohli was one of the earliest to enter the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The five-match Test series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. As the third match ended in a tie, the fourth game is all set to be played at the MCG and will kick start on December 26. Additionally, after Team India's spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement, the think tank handed a maiden call-up to Mumbai's spinner. Tanush Kotian has received a maiden call-up and has replaced Ashwin in the squad. India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Jasprit Bumrah (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Devdutt Padikkal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Tanush Kotian, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar. Reserves: Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, Khaleel Ahmed, Yash Dayal.
24 December,2024 04:08 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTeam India captain Rohit Sharma turned down the concerns about Virat Kohli's struggles outside the off-stump in Australia and backed him by saying modern-day greats figure out their own path. So far, Virat Kohli has played the knocks of five, unbeaten 100, seven, 11 and three. With the total of 126 runs scored with an average of 31.50, the figures are not something that the stalwart had hoped before heading for the tour. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, who is undergoing a rough patch is also not losing his sleep over the lack of runs and is confident of bouncing back. When a question about Virat Kohli's struggles was posed to him with some sugar-coating, the skipper added a dash of his own humour in his response. Do you say something or leave a modern-day great alone, the scribe asked. "You only said he is a modern-day great. Modern-day greats figure out their own path," said a smiling Rohit as others broke into a peal of laughter. Virat Kohli was one of the earliest to enter the nets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and Rohit was the last among the recognized batsmen to get the knocking. Also Read: "I was expecting the India call because I was performing well", says Ashwin's replacement Tanush Kotian The India skipper played just two shots in the last 20 minutes and left everything else, as he tried to curb his natural instinct to push forward. The desperation to control his conditioned reflex of moving hands towards the fourth stump delivery was evident. "Harshit, is jagah se jaa rahi hai (the ball is landing here)?" he pointed out at an imaginary fourth stump line while trying to know from the young pacer about the line which looked just around six inches outside off-stump. This line has been Kohli's Achilles Heel in the ongoing tour. When Prasidh Krishna came on, he was told to bowl on the "channel" as he wanted to leave balls. Prasidh dug one short and he just about defended. Then, the lanky Karnataka man hit the channel, and the batter withdrew his willow in the nick of time. The 500-odd people present inside would let out a collective sigh. They made noise and once Kohli was also seen telling them to keep quiet and let him concentrate. When Rohit batted, he was heard telling throwdown specialist Raghavendra, "Tappa sahi pakadna padega (get the length right)." He also got beaten by a throw that reared from length. "Rohit bhai, pull maaro naa (play the pull shot)," yelled one of the demanding young fans from outside. Rohit just left the next delivery. With the chatter about his form gaining decibels and rumours about an imminent retirement post Sydney gaining traction, Rohit's answers about himself were short. When someone has one double digit score in five innings, he wants to be left alone but then commitments needed to be honoured. Asked about his batting position, he was borderline irritated. "Let's not worry about that. I think who bats where, we should be discussing that within ourselves and I shouldn't be answering this question in every press conference," the skipper said, trying to hold his composure. At the onset, he informed that his knee which was hurt while batting on an old practice track, was "fine". Then next question was a "flighted query" on where he stood with regards to his batting form. "After last Test (in Brisbane) we had two sessions. What could have possibly changed in two days?" he countered with a wry smile. As usual, he didn't give away anything about whether playing two spinners while factoring in the Melbourne heat was feasible or not. The inimitable Rohit was back lacing everything with a bit of humour when asked what led to the selection of Tanush Kotian over Kuldeep Yadav. "Well Kuldeep didn't have visa," he smiled before informing that the wrist spinner is still not hundred percent fit. "Axar couldn't travel as he has had a baby. I am not saying Tanush is bad but he is here more as a cover," he said. The five-match series is levelled at 1-1 with all to play for in the remaining two matches in Melbourne and Sydney.

24 December,2024 03:32 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentMuch of Monday here was damp, bleak, borderline depressing. A cold, stiff wind blew across the city, the rain came down in waves, stinging and slanting and dying down almost immediately. The start of the week leading up to Christmas deserved better, but how does man fight nature? Off day for Indians Entirely by accident, India’s cricketers had Monday off, after two days of hard toil on the practice surfaces outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) that Akash Deep, the feisty paceman, termed ‘white-ball’ pitches. The deck for the fourth Test, beginning on Boxing Day Thursday, is unlikely to bear any resemblance to the pitches at the nets that the Indians used on Saturday and Sunday, though curator Matt Page denied any conspiracy, saying the MCG protocol was to prepare practice pitches from three days before the game — Monday, in this instance. Also Read: "Indian bowling is looking a little weak": Cheteshwar Pujara lashes out on Team India The lead-up to the fourth Test, with the series in the balance at 1-1, has been prickly and needlessly tense with misunderstandings abounding and sections of the Australian media resorting to convenient twisting of the facts to paint India’s players in poor light. It’s unlikely any of this gamesmanship will have any impact on the players, many of whom have been there and seen it all. There is an effective insulation mechanism in which the cricketers cocoon themselves. In any case, a vast majority will be focused on how they can return to run- and wicket-taking ways rather than be distracted by off-field developments over which they have little control. India would have gladly taken the current score line at this stage of the five-match series had they been offered it before Perth last month. Their fans feared the worst after the 0-3 shellacking at home by New Zealand, but India regrouped spectacularly at the Optus Stadium in skipper Rohit Sharma’s absence to eke out a memorable 295-run victory. Australia were more than rattled. There were rumours of fissures within the camp, but a return to Adelaide and their date with the pink-ball Test settled all nerves, the hosts drawing level following a commanding 10-wicket win. It’s a two-Test series now Australia lorded the exchanges in Brisbane before late Indian resistance and hours of precipitation induced a frustrating stalemate. Now, this is almost a two-Test series, played back-to-back, in Melbourne and Sydney, two of Australia’s more iconic grounds. The MCG is officially a sellout for Thursday’s Day One and it will be an atmosphere like no other, with close to 90,000 fans expected to soak in the entertainment and add their own voice and noise to amp up the battle. It’s the confluence of these elements — passion, drive, noise, electricity, expectations — that compel champions to shake off their slumber. It’s into this cauldron that Sam Konstas, all of 19 years young, will walk on his first day as a Test cricketer. The New South Welshman is primed to open the batting alongside veteran Usman Khawaja and is braced for a baptism of fire, considering he will straightaway walk into Jasprit Bumrah, on top of his game and currently carrying Australia in the palm of his hand. India have great memories of the MCG, where four of their 10 Test wins in Australia have come, including two on the bounce in 2018 and more famously in 2020. A three-peat will extend their hold on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Is there any greater motivation?
24 December,2024 08:31 AM IST | Melbourne | R KaushikThe Indian team in Australia lack a bowling attack that is good enough to take 20 wickets in a Test, Cheteshwar Pujara said on Monday. The visitors have been relying heavily on pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah to get them wickets. Also Read: Mumbai eke out 3-wkt win over Hyderabad “My biggest question and the reason for a little bit of concern is that the Indian bowling is looking a little weak... If you want to win a Test match, then you have to take 20 wickets, and the ability to take 20 wickets is not that good, the supporting role of the other bowlers is not good, so we will have to improve that as soon as possible, and how that will be, I don’t know, but that is a big question,” Pujara told Star Sports.

24 December,2024 08:26 AM IST | Melbourne | PTIAtharva Ankolekar (4-55) snapped four wickets, while Tanush Kotian, who received a call-up to join the Indian squad for the reminder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, took 2 for 38 and scored a vital 39 as Mumbai scraped to a win over Hyderabad in their Group C match in Ahmedabad on Monday. Tanmay Agarwal’s 64 (74 balls, 9x4s, 1x6s) and Aravelly Avinash’s 52 (47 balls, 6x4s, 3x6s) were not enough as Hyderabad were bowled out for just 169 in 38.1 overs. In reply, Kotian’s 39 and Shreyas Iyer’s quickfire 20-ball 44 (4x4s, 3x6s) were crucial as Mumbai got over the line, scoring 175 for seven in 25.2 overs.
