Delhi: These days the Indian cricket team is playing a five-match test series in Australia. The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 being played in Brisbane currently seems to be in favor of Australia, and victory is looking difficult for the Indian team. At this time only two results of the match are possible, Australia’s victory or draw.
‘Google my batting records’, Jasprit Bumrah gave a funny answer to the reporter in the press conference.
India had won the first Test by 295 runs, due to which it seemed that the team would be stronger after the return of Rohit Sharma, but till now nothing like this is visible. Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali believes that in the Indian dressing room, Something’s not right. He says that there is a rift going on between captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir.
Rohit and Gautam Gambhir are not on the same page
Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel, “Rohit and Gautam Gambhir are not on the same page, whether it is the ODI series in Sri Lanka, the Bangladesh series, or the New Zealand series. “They both are not thinking in the same direction, like it was between Rahul Dravid and Rohit.”
Basit also raised questions on India’s bowling combination in Australia. He further said, “A different spinner has played in three Test matches. In two matches, India won the toss and chose to bat, but decided to bowl in this match. There are three left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, so why were Sundar and Ashwin not selected? Anyone who understands cricket will definitely raise questions on this.”
wrong decision to bowl first
Basit also termed India’s decision to bowl first at Gabba as wrong. He said that the Indian team is dependent only on Jasprit Bumrah, and the rest of the bowlers are not performing as per expectations. He said, “If I say it is Bumrah versus Australia, it would be right. Travis Head vs India is also something like this… Neither Rohit, nor Morne Morkel, nor Gautam Gambhir, no one is able to solve this problem.”
