Shreyas Iyer: Team India's experienced middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer is determined to end his sabbatical from the Indian Cricket Team as he prepares to prove himself in the five-day format and make his much-awaited return to the Test-Team in the highly-anticipated Border Gavaskar Trophy series versus Australia. Taking on Australia is the ultimate litmus test, he told the Hindustan Times, and he relishes the pressure and excitement of the BGT.



Iyer's relations with India's Cricket Governing Body, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), became poor when he decided to avoid playing Domestic-Cricket and reportedly lied about his injury related issues. He was dropped by the BCCI from the list of Central-Contracts and has been ignored from selection of the senior Test squad ever since.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Iyer desperate to take part in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy versus Australia</h2>



In an attempt to make a case for his comeback to the Test-Team of India, the 29-year-old scored a couple of half-centuries in the recently concluded Duleep Trophy before playing an extremely good knock of 142 runs for Mumbai versus Maharashtra in the currently ongoing 2024 season of the Ranji Trophy. And with this inning, Shreyas is dreaming of making his return to the National Team's Test setup. 



As reported by the Hindustan Times, Iyer revealed that there's no bigger challenge than playing versus Australia, and as a cricket player, he craves the intense India vs Australia rivalry, the high pressure and thrill associated with the Border Gavaskar Trophy series.



Thus, ahead of this highly-anticipated series, the KKR skipper's goal is to make full use of every chance that he gets and leave a mark by performing well.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
"I am fulfilling my childhood goal of playing for Team India in every format of the game. One of the hardest things about playing cricket in Australia is the Border-Gavaskar series. You want to be a part of these moments as a cricket player because the conditions, the rivalry, and the intensity demand everything of you. I'm getting ready to seize that chance and make an impression," Iyer said.
</blockquote>



The 29-year-old also acknowledged the competitiveness in the starting lineup, pointing out that as India is a talent-rich country, and hence competition is unavoidable. However, that won't change his desire of making his comeback to the Test-Setup as he has prepared himself to be ready to deliver with the bat whenever the opportunity arrives.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
?Given the enormous volume of talent in India, there is currently more competition than ever for spots in Indian cricket. The players now have a lot more opportunities to leave their mark, make an impact, and attract the attention of the selectors. Every time you step onto the field, you have to leave an impression, and that's what I want to accomplish. The goal is to perform at the best level for the Indian Cricket Team, so when the opportunity arises, I will be prepared to make an impact," he added.
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Iyer responds to his injury-related rumours</h2>



Ahead of Mumbai?s forthcoming Ranji Trophy 2024 fixture versus Tripura, rumours claimed that Shreyae Iyer will be dropped from the starting XI due to a shoulder-injury. The news went viral and was widely circulated on social media. Iyer, however, chastised media-outlets and advised them to do their proper research before disseminating such unverified-information, stating that he is completely fit and ready to play versus Tripura.

India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024: Full Indian Squad, New Faces, and Complete Test Schedule

BGT: The Indian Cricket Team, under the leadership of stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah kicked off the 2024 Border Gavaskar Trophy on the best possible note as they went on to secure a comfortable victory versus the Australians in the opening fixture of the series.



After being bundled out for a mere score of 150 runs in the 1st inning on the first day of the Perth Test-Match, the Men in Blue brought their A game forward and turned things around as they initiated an all-out on the Aussies for 104 runs and managed to take a decent first-inning lead of 46 runs.



Captain Jasprit Bumrah wrecked havoc with the ball registering yet another five-wicket-haul and ended the first inning with figures of 5-30 next to his name. He received a tremendous amount of support from the duo of debutant Harshit Rana (3-48) and Mohammed Siraj (2-20) as the home side didn't have any answer versus the excellent bowling performance of the Indians.



In the 2nd inning of the Perth Test-Match, the Jasprit Bumrah-led team put up a masterclass with the bat, with the opening duo of KL Rahul (77 runs in 176 deliveries) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (161 runs in 297 balls) stitching a mammoth partnership of 201 runs for the opening wicket, the highest ever opening wicket stand by an Indian batting pair in the history of the Border-Gavaskar-Trophy in Australia.



22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal's 161 run knock helped him the become just the second batter ever in the history of the sport to convert his first 4 Test Cricket tons into 150s. This knock of the Southpaw played a crucial role in helping his side win the Perth Test-Match



Legendary batsman Virat Kohli also managed to bring up his highly-awaited 30th century in the longest format of the game, going past the tally of Legendary Australian batsman Don Bradman. In order to score some quick runs, Kohli got involved in a really good partnership of 77 runs in just 52 deliveries with debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (38" Runs) before the Men in Blue declared their second inning for a mammoth score of 487-6. The Indians set a huge target of 534 runs for the Aussies, their highest ever in the history of the longest format of the game versus their fierce-rivals.



A defeat for the Kangaroos was guaranteed as their batters didn't look comfortable at all out their in the middle versus the Indian bowling unit and eventually they got all-out for a score of 238 runs, suffering a defeat by a margin of 295 runs.

BGT: Updated WTC Points-Table following India's win in the 1st Test-Match

bgt-updated-wtc-points-table-following-indias-win-in-the-1st-test-match

In what has been a massive boost for the Indian team, Jasprit Bumrah has returned to the nets ahead of the third Test against Australia. The third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be played at the Brisbane in Gabba from Saturday (14th December). 
Clouds were hovering over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the next Test against Australia in Brisbane. The fast bowler since the last Test hasn't looked fit as he faced a niggle in Adelaide and then there were several reports about him not being fit for the next match. 
Jasprit Bumrah, in the second innings of the Adelaide Test, bowled just one over. Not only this, he was also down with the speed as well and it sparked rumours about his fitness. To worsen the case more, he didn't attend India's practice session for the third Test in Adelaide and was seen spending time with a strength and conditioning coach. 
<h2>Jasprit Bumrah made his return to nets, bowls to KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal</h2>
But in a positive development, Jasprit Bumrah made his return to nets on Thursday (12th December). The fast bowler started his practice session with few leg breaks balls but after that returned to his full tilt and was seen bowling at the full pace in the net session. 
As per the Journalist Bharat Sundaresan, Jasprit Bumrah was seen bowling at full title to KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. He was being a handful to both Indian batsmen as all the focus was on him as he made his return to the nets after missing the last few sessions. 
Jasprit Bumrah will be extremely important for India in the rest of the series. The fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 with 12 wickets to his name from 2 games. With the way he is playing, the number is only expected to rise.

Jasprit Bumrah has been the main reason why India is fighting hard in the series. He claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings and then, after that, picked a four-fer in Adelaide as well. He would want to add more to his tally and help India win the next game.

India fast bowler Mohammed Shami has been doing rounds for his availability for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler, who is making his return from the injury, has been putting hard yards in the domestic circuit. 
Mohammed Shami, who was injured during the ICC World Cup 2023, made his return to cricket in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25. He played one game in the tournament and then featured for Bengal in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25 and played a decent role for the team. 
There were a lot of reports that Mohammed Shami is being monitored by the NCA team, and he will soon be flying to Australia. It is learned that the fast bowler will soon be sent to Australia and will be playing in the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Melbourne and Sydney. 
It was learned that Mohammed Shami will be joining India in Brisbane. But the fast bowler won't be playing the third game. With many excited over fast bowler being available for the last two games, a fresh development related to the fast bowler has suggested curtains for him in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. 
<h2>Mohammed Shami has been named in the Bengal squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.</h2>
Mohammed Shami has been named in the Bengal squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The tournament will be played at the beginning of the second half of December and coinciding with the last leg of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This suggests that he might not play in the five-match Test series. 
The NCA team is expected to give clearance for international cricket to Mohammed Shami only when he is at his 100%. During the Ranji Trophy as well as the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25, he showed some discomfort and he is yet to attain his 100%. 
There are chances that Mohammed Shami might make international cricket return in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament will be played in February-March next year, and before that, the fast bowler will be playing a lot of cricket, making sure that he gets back to his full fitness. 
Shami's absence in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has been quite evident. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, no pacer has looked settled with the ball. The premier fast bowler hasn't got the support from the other pacers.

Mohammed Shami not chosen for BGT 2024-25 as a fast bowler ordered to do this

India captain Rohit Sharma is all set to return to the top order in the next Test against Australia. The third Test game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between the teams is scheduled to take place on Saturday (14th December) at the Gabba in Brisbane. 
As per the reports in the Times of India, it is learned that Rohit Sharma is likely to open the innings in the third Test. The captain of the team sacrificed his opening spot for KL Rahul in the second game but it saw him facing a lot of struggles in the middle order as he failed in both the innings in Adelaid. 
Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test, reportedly was seen practising with the new ball in the nets ahead of the third game. The captain faced all pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep with the new ball. This provides a massive hint that he might open. 
Ahead of the second Test, Rohit Sharma didn't face a new ball in the nets, but now focusing on the new ball means he will be taking his spot back. This also means that KL Rahul will be back in the middle order and will be taking the No.6 spot, the place he was originally slated to bat ahead of the series. 
KL Rahul opened the innings in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the opening game. The batter showed great grit and determination while opening and added 201 runs partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal, which is why the captain decided that he shouldn't disturb the opening spot. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma has been struggled to get going in the Tests</h2>
Rohit Sharma, of late, has struggled to get going in the Tests. He failed in the entire home season and also couldn't get going in Adelaide. Many experts have backed the skipper to go back to the top, and it will be a massive opportunity for him to silence all his critics with the bat. 
Sharma, in the last 6 Tests, has scored 142 runs and is under massive pressure. The skipper would want to lead from the front and take his team to win. The Test series between India and Australia stays levelled at 1-1 and both the teams would be keen to take an early lead in the series. 
India won the first Test of the series under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah. They completed a massive 295-run win at the Optus Stadium in Perth. But after that, Australia made a strong comeback and won the second game of the series by 10 wickets.

Young India batter Shubman Gill has issued a warning to Australian bowlers ahead of the third Test between the teams at the Gabba in Brisbane. He claimed that youngsters in the team don't look at who is bowling but are focused on watching the ball. 
The third Test between India and Australia is just a sleep away from now. The third game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane, where India scripted history last time as they breached the fortress of the Pat Cummins-led side. 
The Test series between India and Australia is levelled at 1-1, and going into the match, Shubman Gill will be extremely important. He missed the first game due to a finger injury but made a return to the team in the second match, which was a pink-ball Test. 
Shubman Gill looked like the most settled Indian batter in Adelaide as he played crisp shots in both innings. The batter played decent hands in both the innings and had starts but failed to convert them into big ones. However, he would be looking to change that. 
Shubman Gill now returns to the ground, where he played one of his best Test innings. The batter played a magical innings of 91 runs in the Gabba last time and would want to carry on the same form this time around, too, as India looks to level the series. 
<h2>This generation doesn't think about who's bowling and just looks at the ball - Shubman Gill</h2>
Gill said that they are not afraid of anyone as they focus on the ball. He also revealed the batting plan from Adelaide, saying that they wanted to fire together as a batting group. Speaking to press-conference, he explained: 
"You'll be afraid if you have not won. We have won last time and even in India. This generation doesn't think about who's bowling and just looks at the ball. The discussion was about firing together as a batting group in the first innings after the Adelaide Test." 
<h2>It's about mental fitness - Shubman Gill on challenges in Gabba</h2>
Shubman Gill also talked about the challenge of playing in Gabba, highlighting that one needs to be at 100% both mentally as well as physically. While addressing about the same, he explained: 
"I think the intensity with which games are played here is what makes it challenging. The mental intensity and fitness that's required here. Conditions are challenging, but I think 35 overs till the second new ball, it gets easier to bat. 
"It's about mental fitness. Very nostalgic when we came here again after 2021. Wicket we'll get to know once we play. Looks like a good wicket."

"You'll be afraid..." - Shubman Gill fires shots to Australian pacers ahead of Brisbane Test

Youll-be-afraid...---Shubman-Gill-fires-shots-to-Australian-pacers-ahead-of-Brisbane-Test

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah looked unhappy with his short spell during the Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against Australia. The third game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is underway at the Gabba in Brisbane. 
India won the toss and opted to field first with overcast conditions on the fray. It was expected that the ball would do some talking trouble the batters, especially with the cloud over up. However, that wasn't the case, as conditions didn't favour pacers as was expected at the start of the play. 
India's bowling attack, led by Jasprit Bumrah, at the start, was visibly unhappy with the ball that was provided to them. However, it was quite evident why they were unhappy as there wasn't any big movement on the pitch, especially with grass there and overcast conditions. 
This made Jasprit Bumrah lose his cool as well during the fifth over of the match. The fast bowler attempted to alter his length and tried moving the ball. However, nothing was on offer, and the pacer, too, realised that there was no swing on offer, irrespective of the area where he hit the deck. 
This made him pass the message to his teammate as he said: “Nahi ho raha swing, kahin bhi kar (There is no swing no matter where you bowl)," Bumrah was heard over the stump microphone. 
<h2>The opening day of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane was marred by rain</h2>
The opening day of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane was marred by rain. Only 13.2 overs were possible on Day 1 as the rain gods weren't kind, and it poured down heavily, forcing the umpires to call off the entire day. 
Australia openers Usman Khawaja (19*) and Nathan McSweeney (4*) were tested early on by Indian pacers in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. However, they held their fort and ensured that they took their team off to a decent start. The rain stopped the play in the first session itself before umpires called off the entire day with Australia at 28/0. 
India bowlers now would be hoping that they find big help from the surface on Day 2. Jasprit Bumrah, in particular, would be keen to take early wickets and help his team get to the top of the game in the ongoing game.

After that, Jasprit Bumrah waved his magic with the second new ball as he removed Travis Head, Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh to pick his second fifer of the series. Out of the 7 Australian wickets that fell on Day 2, he picked 5 wickets, depicting the kind of impact he has made.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah finally broke the silence on not getting support from pacers in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He was kind to admit that the team is under transition and he is trying to help everyone as they are on the learning curve. 
India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been the lone warrior for the team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler hasn't gotten any support from the others, but despite that, he is making sure he gives his best with the ball and helps his team be at the top. 
Jasprit Bumrah, who is the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, has been right on the money with the ball even in the ongoing match at The Gabba in Brisbane. He was yet again the shining light for the team as he oozed his class with both old and new balls. 
Despite the lack of support, Jasprit Bumrah has been sensational with the ball. The fast bowler has picked his second fifer in the series and claimed six wickets in the innings, removing Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc. 
Jasprit Bumrah took his team off to a flying start with the ball as he picked up two quick wickets. However, he wasn't backed up well by other pacers as Australian batters wreaked havoc across the bowlers and ended up with a massive total of 445 runs on the board. 
<h2>"We don't point fingers. We are going through a transition - Jasprit Bumrah </h2>
Jasprit Bumrah attended the press conference after the Day 3 of the ongoing game. He was asked about not getting support from the other bowlers. Replying to this, he claimed that they don't point fingers at anyone as young bowlers will learn from it. He said: 
"We don't point fingers. We are going through a transition. Not the easiest place to play. I am trying to help, everyone will learn and get better. This is a journey. We have 11 players, we are a new team. All these journeys will help them get better."
Jasprit Bumrah also elaborated on the criticism that the team is facing, saying that he cannot take extra baggage. He wants to give his best with the ball and focus on himself. He said: 
"I cannot take extra baggage I don't take any opinion seriously. I look at myself and answer and give my absolute best. I ask that end of day and I accept the results."
