On day 2 of the 5th Rescheduled Test Match of the India Tour of England 2021, Jasprit Bumrah created history. He created history with the bat. Bumrah scored 35 runs in one over from Stuart Broad! This makes the over, the most expensive over in test cricket history. Stuart Broad seems to have a problem with Punjabi batters. This is not the first time an Indian has wacked him for 35 or 36 runs in an over! Remember rockstar Yuvraj Singh tonking Broad for 36 runs! Here is an in-depth look at the same:?



<h2>Jasprit Bumrah scores 35 runs from one over of Stuart Broad:&nbsp;</h2>



After Rishabh Pant made the Englishmen chase leather-like never before on Day 1, it was time for the Indian tail to wag. Ravindra Jadeja scored the 3rd century of his international career. The next man into bat was Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah and his batting skills have been improving over the years. He was facing Stuart Broad in the penultimate over of the Indian innings. This was the over that is going to be written in history. ?



Bumrah hit Broad for 2 sixes (one of which came off a no-ball). He also hit 4 boundaries and took a single on the last ball. All of this was accompanied by 5-wides on one of the deliveries. Bumrah cumulatively gathered 35 runs in this one over. He now holds the record for scoring the most runs in one over in Test History. The 83rd over of the Indian innings went as follows:&nbsp;



<ul><li>1) the First ball was a boundary down to the fine leg?</li><li>2) A bouncer bowled too short, 5 wides for India.?</li><li>3) No Ball, Broad oversteps and bowls short, top-edge flies over the keeper for a six. ?</li><li>4) Almost a six but the ball landed just short of the fence over mid-on. It was a juicy full toss.?</li><li>5) Inside edge goes for 4.?</li><li>6) Short ball hit towards deep mid-wicket for 4. ?</li><li>7) A ball down towards the leg side, Bumrah clubbed the ball for a six over long-leg.?</li><li>8) 1 run of the last ball. ?</li></ul>



<h2>India ends with 416 runs:?</h2>



With the help of Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja and the heroics of Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian Team managed to score 416 runs in the first innings. Here are the brief scores from the first innings:&nbsp;



Indian Team: 416/10.&nbsp;



Rishabh Pant: 146 runs of 111 balls&nbsp;



Ravindra Jadeja: 104 runs of 194 balls.&nbsp;



James Anderson: 5/60.?

Jasprit Bumrah Scores 35 of One Over from Stuart Broad. Most Expensive Over in Test Cricket!

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has issued a massive warning to the Australia team ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He said that they need to win one game out of the two remaining and they will retain the trophy. 
The Test series between India and Australia is levelled at 1-1. Both the teams displayed magnificent performances in the first three games, and the focus moves towards the fourth Test, which will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from 26th December, which will be a Boxing Day match. 
While it was India who registered a massive 295-run win in Perth, Australia fought back and won the next game in Adelaide by 10 wickets. The Gabba Test ended in a draw, and now the stage is all set for the most important match of the series, which will be a virtual series decider. 
India hasn't lost a Boxing Day Test against Australia in the last 12 years, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to win. If they manage to win the match, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and also will inch one step closer to the final of the ICC World Test Championship final, which will be played next year. 
<h2>Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series - Ravindra Jadeja </h2>
Ravindra Jadeja, who attended the short press conference, admitted that they are in a good position. But he also was quick to quip that if they win even one game, they will retain the series. He is confident that they will complete a hat-trick of wins in Australia. Speaking to reporters, he explained:
"We are in a good position, after three matches, it's still 1-1. It is going to be interesting. Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series because we have won the last two times here. 
"It's a good opportunity to push ourselves and do well in Melbourne. Yes, we will worry about the last match later, the focus now is on the Boxing Day Test. It's a crucial game for us." 
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has been putting hard yards in the nets ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the two teams will get underway on 26th December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 
Rohit Sharma has struggled immensely with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The skipper has managed just 19 runs in the 4 innings that he has played, and this has seen him facing a lot of criticism for his poor returns with the bat in an important series. 
Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test, has been batting in the middle order in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter has allowed KL Rahul to take the role at the top, but moving down the order hasn't done anything great to him either, as he has looked clueless while batting at No.6. 
With pressure mounting on him, Rohit Sharma is making sure that he gives his best and prepares himself fully for the Melbourne game. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the Indian captain is putting hard yards in the nets and has left no stone unturned ahead of the MCG Test. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma displayed precise footwork and moved his feet well in nets </h2>
The reports claimed that Rohit Sharma batted for 1 hour 20 minutes. The captain displayed precise footwork and moved well. He wasn't going for every ball and trusted his defence. The most important thing was he was looking hungry to bat. 
The upcoming fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be extremely important for the Indian team. Witn series being levelled at 1-1, it will be a massive opportunity for Rohit Sharma and his men to take a lead and retain the Trophy and also put one step closer to the ICC World Test Championship final. 
The focus will be on Rohit Sharma as he will be looking to silence all these critics and play a big innings with the bat. If India has to fancy their chances of winning, they would want the skipper to step up and take the team to win in the next game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been accused of deliberately fighting with the Australian media ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Australian media targeted the left-hander for not answering questions in English. 
This came after Ravindra Jadeja attended the press conference ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder couldn't attend to the reporters for a long as they had to catch the team bus, which was heading towards the ground for a practice session. 
The Australian media claimed that Ravindra Jadeja answered questions in Hindi and didn't reply anything in English. This came even though he knew that there were Australian reporters as well, and yet he didn't say anything in English that didn't go well with the media people there. 
The Australian media also recently fought with Virat Kohli at the Melbourne airport. This was because they clicked the pictures of his family without his consent, and it didn't go well with Batter, who lashed out at the media, telling them they couldn't film him without his family. 
With the fresh controversy over Ravindra Jadeja, Indian media also has hit out at the Australian media. The reports in RevSportz claimed that it wasn't mandatory to reply to questions in English and added that the all-rounder still managed a 9-minute press conference despite the team bus waiting for him. 
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat. 
His innings came at a crucial time when India lost early wickets and was under massive pressure. Jadeja's knock helped India avoid the follow-on and draw the match. The series between the two teams is now levelled at 1-1 and the next game will be played in Melbourne on 26th December.

As we had told you earlier, the Bangladeshi team had lost their Super 4 match versus India and that's the reason why they were sitting at the 2nd position in the Points Table with six points next to their name.

India had a hard-fought draw at the Gabba in Brisbane, which has helped them to enter the fourth test with the series poised at 1-1. The fourth test between India and Australia will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will start on December 26. It will be the Boxing Day Test, which is the showpiece of this summer.
This game is very important for both teams because whoever wins this can't lose the series. If India wins this game, they will retain their Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and their chances to qualify for the World Test Championship final will increase. 
India will be confident heading into this game as they have won the last two tests played at the MCG against Australia. But this could be different as India are struggling with the form. So, can they get over the line in the Boxing Day test? Here we will check about this unique test and India's record in it.
<h2>IND vs AUS: What is Boxing Day Test match? </h2>
The Boxing Day test is always a showcase of any test series that is being played between December and January. It is referred to as a test match that starts after Christmas (December 25).

<h2>IND vs AUS: India's overall record in the Boxing Day Test Match?</h2>
India played their first-ever Boxing Day test against Australia back in 1985. That ended in a draw. Overall, India have played nine Boxing Day test matches so far in Australia.

In what has been the latest development as per the former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif, India vs Pakistan series might be around the corner. His comments came following the ICC announcement that India and Pakistan won't be travelling to each other's country till 2027. 
Rashid Latif claimed that both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) are set to organize the tournament that will benefit both the BCCI as well as PCB. This is because ICC, BCCI, PCB and ACB are all set to face financial loss after the recent decision made on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
However, to compensate for that, a new formula has come into the mind and has got serious consideration. According to this, India and Pakistan will be playing each other at neutral venues. But it won't be only the two arch-rivals playing in the series. 
The reports added that it will be a tri-series type tournament that will involve India, Pakistan, who will be getting the majority of its income shared, and one more high-ranking team. This will also help broadcasters recover from the loss that they will be facing from India and Pakistan not visiting each other's country. 
This comes as massive news for the fans as both India and Pakistan last played each other in the bilateral series in 2012. After that, the two teams have been playing against each other only in the ICC and ACC events. If this happens, it could be the biggest thing in world cricket. 
<h2>India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The official schedule of the tournament will be coming soon, and it is expected that two arch-rivals will be playing at the Dubai in the event, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
The last time India and Pakistan played was in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It saw India winning the game from the jaws of defeat and it remains to be seen what will be the result this time around when they two play each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India vs Pakistan bilateral series all set to resume? Massive update comes

There is so far no clarity related to Mohammed Shami's participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, the fast bowler was recently named in the Bengal squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and was expected to play the opening game of the tournament. 
However, Mohammed Shami has been rested for the Bengal’s Vijay Hazare Trophy opener against Delhi on Saturday in Hyderabad. The development was confirmed by the Cricket Association of Bengal and it sparks rumours about another injury for the fast bowler. 
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the ICC World Cup 2023, recently made a comeback to cricket during the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 and also featured in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. He picked 9 wickets in the T20 tournament and took his team to knockouts. 
It was expected that Mohammed Shami after that Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy would fly out to Australia but the fast bowler didn't go and was asked to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. But him being rested now raises quite a few eyebrows about his fitness with important games ahead. 
<h2>There have been some complaints about his knee - Mohammed Shami</h2>
The speculations about Mohammed Shami's injury got more intense when Rohit Sharma, after the Gabba Test, mentioned that the fast bowler had some issues with his knee. He had said: 
“I think it’s high time somebody from NCA talks about him, where he is rehabbing… Those guys are the ones who need to come up and give us some kind of update." 
“I understand he’s playing a lot of cricket back home, but there have been some complaints about his knee as well. We won’t take any risks unless we are 200% sure about his fitness." 
It remains to be seen when will Mohammed Shami make his comeback for India. There are fewer chances that he might play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and he is now expected to make a comeback in the ODI series against England, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Fresh injury scare for Mohammed Shami? Pacer being rested for VHT game fuels rumours

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has proved to be the game-changer for his team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, no doubt. But this time around, he has almost ended the International career of young Australian opener Nathan McSweeney, who made his debut in Perth. 
Nathan McSweeney, who has been a consistent performer in the Australian domestic circuit, became a bunny of Jasprit Bumrah in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler had his number each time they faced in the ongoing series. 
Jasprit Bumrah removed him 4 times in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and didn't let the batter score freely. He removed him twice in Perth, once in Adelaide and once in Gabba and put his team at the top right from the start. 
<h2>Sam Konstas replaces Nathan McSweeney in the Australian team </h2>
Amid his struggles against Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan McSweeney has been dropped from the Australia team for the last two squads of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In his place, the team has added Sam Konstas for the Melbourne and Sydney tests. 
As per the reports in Code Sports, it is learned that Sam Konstas will be playing the Melbourne Test. The batter will be making his debut for the team and would be keen to grab the opportunity with Nathan McSweeney now being dropped from the team for the last two games. 
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah has been right on the money with his bowling in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the series and has been looking threatening with the ball so far in the three games that he has played. 
Jasprit Bumrah has picked 21 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The pacer has 7 wickets more than Mitchell Starc, who is the second-leading wicket-taker in the series. The India pacer would be looking to carry on his form and help his team win the last two games.

The Indian Cricket Team is preparing itself for a massive overhaul. Reports have emerged that more players are gonna follow suit after the retirement of Ravi Ashwin. Ashwin's unexpected decision of retiring came immediately after the Gabba Test-Match ended in a draw. There are indications which suggest that the Indian team management asked the off-spinner, who will ne turning 39 years old soon, to consider retiring and that's why the CSK spinner decided to hang up his Cricketing boots midway through the 2024 BGT series with two contests still remaining. 
Rumours say that Virat Kohli might retire from tests following the conclusion of the ongoing 2024 Border Gavaskar Trophy series but this claim has been completely rubbished by Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma. He said that the former Indian skipper will carry on with Team India for the next five years. 
<blockquote>
"He (Virat) is a player who loves playing the sport of Cricket. He always gives his best for the Indian Team and excels in crucial situations. He can surely go on to score two more hundreds in the ongoing series versus the Australians and Fans will surely see Virat in the squad of Team India for 2027 ODI World Cup," Rajkumar said.
</blockquote>
Virat and skipper Rohit Sharma, who retired from T20 Internationals following the conclusion of the 2024 T20i World Cup, are struggling to play well in the BGT series. More senior players are anticipated to announce their retirements from the longest format of the game before the beginning of the Tour of England in June-July of next year. 
With the Men in Blue's next Test-Series set to take place in June of next year after the end of the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit's performance with the bat in the remaining two Test-Matches versus the Aussies will play an important role in extending his career in the longest format of the game. 
Kohli on the other hand, has performed in a decent manner in Test Cricket in the last five years and despite going on to score a century in the Perth Test-Match, him getting dismissed constantly outside the off-stump, have seen criticisms from Indian fans and experts. There are also chances that the duo of Virat &amp; Rohit are likely to call time on their One Day International careers after the end of the 2025 Champions Trophy in February.

India Cricket Team is all set to undergo a massive overhaul in Test cricket ahead of the next Test series in England in the coming summer of 2025. As per the reports in Cricbuzz, it is learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement is the first one in the ongoing tour, and more are likely to follow. 
The India off-spinner, after the Test match against Australia, which was the third in the series at Brisbane, decided to retire. This decision surprised many because it came in the middle of the series; also, there have been reports that he was conveyed about the future of the team, and they are seeing him as the third-choice spinner after Sundar and Jadeja. 
The reports added that the BCCI is following the same template as they did in 2008. During that time, senior players retired in quick succession as they were conveyed by the BCCI that they wanted to set the stage for the transition. And it won't be a surprise if something similar follows this time too. 
If the reports are to be believed then it is likely that Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and  Ravindra Jadeja might be on the radar. There were earlier reports ahead of the BGT, which claimed that if the big four of the team failed to get going, they might be dropped. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement might be the panic door for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja</h2>
Ravichandran Ashwin's retirement might be the panic door for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. In the ongoing series, the two senior batters have come under massive scanner for their poor batting, and hence, something big might be on the way. 
The last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be a massive game for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. If they fail to score, there might be a chance that they might not board flight to England for the tour. Also, with WTC Final place online, the two games will be more than just the games. 
The Australia tour over the years has gained a reputation for bringing cricketing careers to an end. Several stalwarts have faced the same over the years, and it won't be a surprise if something follows again.
