<p>The Border Gavaskar Trophy begins on February 9, 2023. Both teams will be looking to give their best in this test. The Australian cricket team is coming off an elite WTC cycle. Their cycle started with the Ashes, where they washed away the England cricket team. Further, they visited a few nations and crushed them to defeat. not that they will be hosted by India. In the past 10 years, India has lost only 2 test matches in the country. One of them is the Pune Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2017. So, Australia has been a tough contender. Here is a look at the 3 players' battles to watch out for:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>David Warner VS Ravichandran Ashwin will be a Key Battle in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Ravichandra Ashwin has a feast over the left-handers. One of the top left-handers on the planet is David Warner. Ravichandran Ashwin has enjoyed decent success against Warner. He has managed to get the wicket of the ?Pocket-Size Dynamite? 10&nbsp;times in international cricket. Here is a look at the batsmen who have been dismissed by Ashwin the greatest number of times. We notice that the ones at the top are all left-handers:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Batter Name&nbsp;</td><td>Country&nbsp;</td><td>Number of Dismissals&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ben Stokes&nbsp;</td><td>England&nbsp;</td><td>11&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>David Warner&nbsp;</td><td>Australia&nbsp;</td><td>10&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Alastair Cook&nbsp;</td><td>England&nbsp;</td><td>9&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Ed Cowan&nbsp;</td><td>Australia&nbsp;</td><td>7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>James Anderson&nbsp;</td><td>England&nbsp;</td><td>7&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>But Warner?s trike rate has improved in the past few years and his skill to negotiate with off-spinners has also improved. Hence it will be great to see the battle between one of the best openers on the planet and one of the best off-spinners that the game has ever witnessed. The Border Gavaskar Trophy will be graced with this contest.</p>



<h2>Virat Kohli VS Pat Cummins will be a Key Battle in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Pat Cummins has made Virat Kohli look very mediocre in front of him. He has got his wicket quite a few times now. Every cricket fan awaits a contest between Stac and Kohli and it is Cummins who comes like an out-of-syllabus question. Pat Cummins has dismissed Kohli 9 times in international cricket. It is always that one delivery outside of off-stump that bothers Virat Kohli. At the same time, Kohli?s strike rate against Pat revolves around 90-95 against Pat. This number is pretty impressive in the context to test cricket. The Border Gavaskar Trophy will be graced with this contest.</p>

<h2>Rohit Sharma VS Mitchell Starc:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Rohit Sharma going up against Mitchell Starc will be a real contest. It will be a bit difficult for Sharma as he has difficulty facing a left-arm pacer. Here are the stats of Rohit Sharma against left-arm pace since 2019:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Stat&nbsp;</td><td>Value&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>24&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Dismissals&nbsp;</td><td>6&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>85&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average &nbsp;</td><td>24.3&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>But Rohit Sharma has something that neutralizes Starc?s biggest weapon. Starc?s biggest weapon is his chin music. When he bowls short balls, it becomes lethal. But Rohit is known for his pull shot. His game against fast short balls is elite. It is so good that Rohit sends the ball to the deep square leg or fine leg from the front foot itself. &nbsp;</p>

Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023: Top 3 Key Battles to Watch Out for in India VS Australia Test Matches. ?

border-gavaskar-trophy-2023-top-3-key-battles-to-watch-out-for-in-india-vs-australia-test-matches

<p>Star batsman Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are traveling&nbsp;for spirituality. Since the focus of the entire Indian team is only on the ODI World Cup to be held this year, all the big players, including Virat Kohli, have been rested. Kohli and Anushka traveled&nbsp;to Rishikesh. They both arrived at&nbsp;Swami Dayanand Saraswati's ashram at this time. Prime Minister Narendra Modi received spiritual guidance from Swami Dayanand. </p>



<p>Prime Minister Modi's spiritual mentor was Swami Dayanand. In order to meet with Swami Dayanand Saraswati, the PM personally traveled to his ashram in Sheesham Jhari, Rishikesh. Kohli and Anushka initially visit Dayanand Saraswati's grave before arriving at his ashram, they also spent 20 minutes in meditation.</p>



<p>Later, Swami Sakshatkrita Nand Maharaj, the head of the Dayanand Ashram, bestowed his blessings on Kohli and Anushka as well. He will spend the night in the ashram. Apart from that, all three consumed food that was made in the ashram kitchen. All three of them ate bread, vegetables, khichdi, and curries throughout this time.</p>

<p>Prior to the ODI series against Sri Lanka, Virat Kohli also went on a visit to Vrindavan with Anushka and Vamika. All three of them received Shri Parmanand ji's blessings at Vrindavan during this time. Kohli put on an incredible performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka after his return from Vrindavan. He will now take part in the Australian Test series.</p>

IND vs AUS: Kohli-Anushka reached Rishikesh before the Border Gavaskar Trophy

ind-vs-aus-kohli-anushka-reached-rishikesh-before-the-border-gavaskar-trophy

<p>Every time Ishan Kishan walks out to bat, the commentators seem to pull out a few familiar phrases out of their vocabularies: "<em>Pocket-sized Dynamite", "Explosive Opener", "Dangerous Batter"</em> etc. Though clich?d and grossly overused, there is a reason why the left hander is described using those particular expressions. </p>



<p>Anybody who's watched an Ishan Kishan special - like <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-vs-bangladesh-3rd-odi-match-report-ishan-kishans-phenomenal-double-century-helps-india-get-a-consolation-win/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this one recently</a> in Bangladesh - knows how menacing he can be. Yet, when you look at his numbers, they paint an image that is the complete opposite. <br><br>Having said that, Team India seems to have put an immense amount of faith in the wicketkeeper-batsman. Kishan has been a regular in the T20 team for a while now. After his double century against Bangladesh, he is undoubtedly expected to be given a rope in the ODIs. And with <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rishabh-pant-ruled-out-from-cricket-for-most-of-2023-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rishabh Pant missing</a>, he's also got a <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-vs-australia-2023-indian-squad-announced-for-the-first-two-tests-suryakumar-yadav-and-ishan-kishan-included/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">call-up for the Test team</a>.</p>



<p>He is young, left-handed, can bat anywhere in the order and keep wickets. Furthermore, he has also been a successful captain at the U19 level. It's a package that, despite India's bountiful resources of talent, is not easily available. However, are we looking at more smoke than fire?</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>"All that glitters is not gold."</p>
<cite>- Popular Saying</cite></blockquote>



<p>He is into just the second year of his international career and a few times already, he's sparkled. But with a talent pool as big as India's, putting on a show once in a while isn't good enough. The loud inconsistency depicted by his numbers begs the question, "Is he actually gold or just glitter?"</p>



<p>Here is a look at Kishan's performances across formats:-</p>

<p>Ishan Kishan's overall record in T20Is:-</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>While there should be no complains about a batter averaging 25 in T20Is, it's the strike rate that is disappointing. An "explosive opener" is expected to make the most of the powerplay, which Kishan clearly hasn't been able to. In fact, his strike rate in the power play plummets to <strong>113.62</strong>. Here's a look at his numbers in the powerplay:-</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">26</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">392</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Balls Faced</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">345</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Dot Ball%</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">52.46%</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">113.62</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4s/6s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">47/14</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan in powerplay in T20Is</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>That tells you that more often than not Kishan starts sedately and makes up for it afterwards. However, for a long time now, he hasn't quite been able to notch up a big innings. His last fifty was <strong>15 matches ago</strong> and this is how his record looks like since:-</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">14</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">200</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Average</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">14.28</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">105.26</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Highest Score</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">37(29)</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">4s/6s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">19/9</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan since his last T20I fifty</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>Surely those numbers aren't good enough to keep your place in the side, let alone with openers like Shaw and keepers like Samson and Jitesh waiting in the wings.</p>



<h2 id="kishan-in-od-is-satisfactory-or-skewed-by-one-innings">Kishan in ODIs: Satisfactory or skewed by one innings?</h2>



<p>Ishan Kishan's ODI record:-</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">12</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">507</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Average</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">46.09</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">107.18</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">100s/50s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">1/3</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Highest Score</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">210(131)</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan's overall record in ODIs</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>His ODI record looks far more handsome. The fact that he's been floated up and down the order as per team's requirements, makes it even prettier. But how much of it is skewed by that one mammoth innings against Bangladesh? What happens when we take that innings out? This is how his record looks without the double century knock:-</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">11</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">297</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Average</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">29.70</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">86.84</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">100s/50s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">0/3</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Highest score</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">93(84)</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan's ODI record without the double century innings</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>As you can see, the record plummets to fairly ordinary numbers. Although one can argue that the sample size is not huge; and after all, this is after we've cherry-picked and taken out his best innings. Yet, there is a counter argument to that. And that is Kishan's List A record.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">90</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">3056</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Average</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">38.20</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">94.00</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">100s/50s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">5/15</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Highest Score</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">210(131)</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan's List A record</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>Again, a modest record without anything remarkable really. And as a matter of fact, 90 games is a huge sample size even if the first of those was played back when he was a 15 year old. </p>



<h2 id="kishans-selection-in-the-test-squad">Kishan's selection in the Test squad</h2>



<p>Even with his numbers imploring that inconsistency is consistent with Kishan, you understand why teams tend to rate him well in white ball cricket. It is because when he gets going he can single-handedly obliterate opposition's attacks and win you matches. However, his selection in the Test team against Australia is bewildering and unfathomable.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_w_1280,q_80/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/351000/351000.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ishan Kishan has played just 4 Ranji Trophy matches over last 3 seasons. He didn't keep wickets in the 2022/23 season. ?PTI</figcaption></figure>



<p>With Rishabh Pant unavailable, KS Bharat - who is largely considered the best gloveman in the country - is expected to take his spot. Bharat, pretty much like Wridhimann Saha, is not the best batter who can keep wickets, but purely the best wicketkeeper. And it makes sense to pick him. After all, you need a skilled keeper on turning tracks and the fact that Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar can bat will allow India to include him in the XI. </p>



<p>Yet, it's hard to understand why would you pick Ishan Kishan as his backup? Here is a look at Kishan's first-class record:-</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table aligncenter"><table><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Innings</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">82</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Runs</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">2985</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Average</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">38.76</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Strike Rate</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">69.80</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">100s/50s</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">6/16</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Highest Score</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">273</td></tr></tbody></table><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Ishan Kishan's first class record</mark></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>Neither is Kishan the best keeper in the country, nor is his batting record worth turning heads. In fact, the Jharkhand southpaw has only played <strong>a total of 4 Ranji Trophy matches across last 3 seasons</strong>: Two in 2019/20, none in 2021/22 and again two in 2022/23. Moreover, in the two matches he played this season, he didn't even keep wickets. </p>



<p>Now compare that to, say, Akshay Wadkar who averages <strong>53.31</strong> across 60 first class innings and has been Vidarbha's first choice keeper. (Not to forget the first Test is at Nagpur, Vidarbha's home ground). Or Sheldon Jackson, who averages <strong>48.79</strong> with the bat and is a far superior gloveman. </p>



<p>Perhaps, the selectors wanted a player in the mould of Pant: left handed dasher who can take the game on and turn it on its head. Howbeit, there is the difference of day and night in the first class records of Pant and Kishan.</p>



<h2 id="so-is-kishan-being-overrated-by-team-india">So, Is Kishan being overrated by team India?</h2>



<p>Sports can be funny at times. I am pretty sure, a lot of articles along the same lines were written for Rohit Sharma as well as Ravindra Jadeja at the beginning of the last decade. Both of them, metamorphosed into players who can walk into any international XI today. Similarly, there is little doubt about Kishan's talent and potential. Albeit, it would not be wrong to say that he hasn't quite delivered as per expectations yet. In the upcoming months, he will have the opportunities to set that right. Though, with many people biting at his heels, those opportunities will diminish fast. </p>

Is Ishan Kishan being overrated? Should he play all 3 formats for India?
