India batter Virat Kohli has been under the spotlight for his batting in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The batter started the series on a high as he hit a magnificent century in the opening game the Perth. 
However, after that, Virat Kohli hasn't been at his best, as he has fallen cheaply and has bagged a series of low scores. The premier batter has struggled against the balls outside off as Australia pacers have found the weakness to send him packing early on in innings. 
After scoring a century in Perth, Virat Kohli has struggled to get going with most of his dismissals coming against the balls outside off. The premier batter after that innings in Perth has added just 26 runs, which is a cause for concern. 
In Adelaide, Virat Kohli got out against Mitchell Starc and then Scott Boland. In the Gabba Test, he got out while driving the ball towards cover against Hazlewood. This has seen him getting criticised a lot for his approach. 
But to negate this threat, Virat Kohli worked hard in the nets. As per the reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that the batter focussed on leaving the ball and looked very solid, best in the nets so far in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
<h2>Virat Kohli reportedly asked Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna to bowl to him outside off stump, asks fast bowlers to bowl fast</h2>
Virat Kohli reportedly asked Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna to bowl to him outside off stump. Not only this, the fast bowler also was telling the pacers to bowl fast and also was seen shouldering their arm so that the bowler would not find an edge even if there was extra bounce.  
Virat Kohli will be key for India going into the next match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He would be keen to silence all his critics and help his team win the next game of the series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.

India skipper Rohit Sharma provided a massive update about his fitness ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Boxing-day game of the series between the teams will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. 
India was jolted by the massive blow as skipper Rohit Sharma was hit on the knee during the training session. The batter looked in immense pain and was also seen wearing an ice pack around his knee as it was learned that he had some swelling. 
Rohit Sharma also stopped batting in the nets as physios turned his attention towards him. However, after some attention, the batter looked fine and even batted in nets but the swelling was still there, raising speculations over his availability for the next game of the series. 
<h2>Knee is fine - Rohit Sharma </h2>
However, during the press conference ahead of the Melbourne Test, Rohit Sharma provided an update about his fitness. He mentioned that he is fine and will be playing the next match. He also talked about used pitches being given to them for practice. He stated: 
"Knee is fine. Nothing had changed since last I spoke. We had two sessions what can change? I think those pitches that we trained are used pitches. Today is the only day we are gonna get fresher wickets. Will go and see how it is, train accordingly." 
Rohit Sharma also believes that the series is fairly levelled at 1-1, depicting that both the teams have played a great brand of cricket. He elaborated: 
"It's been good. We have been fortunate as well the attitude boys showed after getting all out for 150 and then to bowl out for 100 Adelaide we didn't play well, Brisbane there wasn't much. After 3 Tests, if I look at 1-1 it's a fair reflection of how both teams have played." 
The MCG Test will be a great opportunity for Rohit Sharma to return to form and silence all his critics. The batter so far has scored 19 runs in the series and would want to set the stage on fire.

ICC unveil the official Champions Trophy 2025 schedule, know all the details regarding India's matches

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has been reaching the conclusion and there are just two games left in the series. The focus shifts towards the fourth match of the series, which will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. 
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between the teams is currently levelled at 1-1. Therefore it will be a perfect opportunity for the the Indian team to take a lead in the series, especially with the fact that they haven't lost a game in Melbourne since 2011. 
Coming to the Indian XI for the fourth Test against Australia, it is likely that India will go unchanged. However, there are chances that they might go with two spinners looking at the conditions, which will be hot and humid in Melbourne. 
Openers - KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal; No.3 - Shubman Gill 
The Indian top order for the Melbourne Test will be the same. KL Rahul no doubt has locked his place as an opener in the team after his heroics in the first three games. On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal has been kept quiet in the last two games after his century in Perth. 
Shubman Gill is expected to bat at No.3 and would be hoping to get some runs under his belt. The young batter has looked with the shots but hasn't been able to convert his starts and would want to change that in the next match of the series. 
Middle order - Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant (wk) 
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant are expected to be the middle order for the Indian team during the Melbourne Test. The trio has struggled to get going in the Test series, and it will be a great opportunity for them to return to form and help the team win. 
The pressure, in particular, will be on skipper Rohit Sharma, as he scored just 19 runs in the last two games. Virat, on the other hand, slammed a ton in Perth but failed to get going in the last two games. Pant had starts but couldn't cash on them. 
All-rounders - Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar 
India is expected to play three all-rounders in Melbourne. The likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy have been scoring runs for the team in the series. While Washington Sundar, who played the first match is likely to make a return. 
Washington Sundar is expected to replace Akash Deep for the Melbourne Test. Going with two spinners could turn out to be a great strategy for the team. 
Pacers - Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj 
The two front-line pacers for the Indian team going into the next game will be Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. The two have been doing their job to great perfection and would want to carry on their form. 
<h2>India Playing 11 for MCG Test Prediction </h2>

Replacing the legendary Ravichandran Ashwin in the Test Team is not going to be an easy task for the Indian Cricket Team management. Since 2014, Ashwin's bowling has proven to be an X factor in the Men in Blue's Test-Series wins. The 38-year-old recently announced his retirement from International Cricket following the conclusion of the Gabba Test-Match which shocked the entire world of Cricket. 
His contributions with both bat and ball have proven to be really important for Team India and now that he has retired, let's take a look at three players who can prove to be long-term replacements for the legendary off-spinner. 

<h2>3. Saurabh Kumar</h2>
31-year-old slow left arm orthodox spinner Saurabh Kumar has proven to be consistent threat with the ball in Domestic Cricket. Representing the team of Uttar Pradesh, he has taken part in a total of 77 first-class games, in which has dismissed 321 batters at a good average of 25.9. He also has 25 five-wicket hauls next to his name and his best figures are 8-64.
He's a capable batter too, having scored 2,333 runs at a decent average of 25.92 which includes 2 hundreds and 15 half-centuries and he's in excellent form at present. He was also included in India's squad for the home England Test-Series and when it comes to home Test-Matches, it's believed that he will be the next one to get regular opportunities to represent the Indian Cricket Team in the longest format of the game.

<h2>2. Manav Suthar</h2>
22-year-old Manav Suthar, hailing from Rajasthan has recently started to find his feat in First-class Domestic Cricket. But, since his debut, he has bowled in a consistent manner and has 86 scalps next to his name in 21 contests at a good average of 27.53.This includes six four-wicket hauls, four fifers and two 10-wicket hauls. 
Even with the bat, he's a handy player as he has scored 663 runs with a highest score of 93* runs and has also brought up hif fifty four times. He's a promising youngster and with age on his side, Suthar can certainly prove to be a like-to-like replacement for Ashwin.

<h2>1. Washington Sundar</h2>
It's a realistic and known fact that Washington Sundar will be the most likely and suitable replacement for the legendary Ravi Ashwin. Sundar has been performing in an exceptional manner in Test Cricket recently, consistently picking up wickets and scoring crucial runs down the order. He's also a part of the ongoing 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus the Kangaroos and since Ashwin will not be there in the last two Test-Matches, Sundar will take his place. 
While he has been a consistent performer over the years, the only problem he faces is his history of getting injured for long durations. His injury problems have proven to be a major reason behind his inability to make himself a regular in Team India's squad for the last three years, there's a possibility that the BCCI might just consider keeping backup options in mind.

India's star spinner Ravichandran Ashwin , who took 537 wickets in 106 Tests, has announced his retirement from international cricket. The Indian Management are on a lookout for a suitable like-to-like replacement for the legendary Off-spinner.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has been under a lot of scanner for his poor form with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The captain hasn't been at his best and has bagged a series of low scores in Test cricket of late. 
Rohit Sharma, who failed in the entire home season, is having the worst possible time in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The opening batter missed the first match of the series and, after that, sacrificed his opening position for KL Rahul, who has a position of his own.
Rohit Sharma, in the four innings that he has played in the ongoing series against Australia, has been at his worst. He hasn't looked confident at all as his feet look stuck at the ground. This has seen him getting out on low scores and coping with a lot of criticism. 
Rohit Sharma has been under the pump, and it's fair to say that the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be career-defining for him. It could be a make-or-break series for him, and it won't be a surprise if the captain brings his A-game in the last two games. 
But things don't look great for him either. Rohit Sharma has been putting hard yards in the nets, but in what was a bizarre moment, the captain of India got out to part-timer in the nets. The senior batter was seen batting against Devdutt Padikkal in the nets. 
Rohit Sharma, however, got trapped in lbw by Devdutt Padikkal. The batter tried to play the shot on the back foot but missed the ball and ended up getting hit right in front. From the naked eye, it looked plumb as the captain, too, looked shocked. 
The video of the incident went viral on the internet with many criticising Rohit Sharma for getting out. You can find the video below: 
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. He would be keen to turn things around and silence all his critics with the bat.

India fast bowler Akash Deep talked about the plans the team has made to stop the Australia batter Travis Head in the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He revealed that they will be using the short ball ploy against the batter early in his innings. 
Australia batter Travis Head has been the biggest nightmare of the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The left-hander has troubled the Rohit Sharma-led side a lot in the series and the bowlers so far seem to have no answers to the carnage by him. 
Travis Head is the leading run-getter in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and this surely reveals the kind of impact that he has made. The batter has batted with sheer dominance and has hardly put a foot wrong in the series, which has seen three games being played so far. 
Travis Head slammed a solid half-century in the Perth Test and followed it up with a dominating ton in the pink-ball Test. If this was not enough, the batter hit another brutal ton in the Gabba game and took the game away from India. 
<h2>We’ll target specific areas and hope to force him into mistakes - Akash Deep on Travis Head </h2>
With Indian bowlers struggling against Travis Head, Akash Deep leaked the plan of the Indian team to bowl against the batter. He said that they will be sticking to the same deliveries and maintaining discipline in their bowling. 
He pointed out that the batter struggles to get going against short balls and they will try to execute that and won't let the batter settle at all. While speaking to reporters, he explained: 
"As fast bowlers, we will stick to the same deliveries and maintain discipline in our bowling. We will bowl from both over and around the wicket, assess the pitch and conditions, and plan accordingly. 
"I think Travis Head, in particular, struggles against short balls. We won’t let him settle at the crease. We’ll target specific areas and hope to force him into mistakes, which will create chances for us." 
Overall in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Travis Head has scored 409 runs at an average of 81.80, with two centuries and an 89-run knock. He would be keen to carry on and help Australia win the last two games of the series.
