The team was off to a flying start. They scored 52 runs off the first 6 overs. Rohit?s pull shot off the ball of Kamlesh Nagarkoti looked like the shot of the day. He walked down the track and attacked Khaleel Ahmed as well. Ishan Kishan on the other side took a back seat. Kuldeep Yadav bought the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-delhi-capitals-dc-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/">Delhi Capitals</a> back in the game. Kuldeep found his lost magic.

<p>Brief Scores: &nbsp;</p>



<p>Ishan Kishan 81* of 48.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Rohit Sharma 41 of 32. &nbsp;</p>

<p>**The inning started with Aryan Juyal keeping wickets for Mumbai Indians as Ishan Kishan was nursing an injury that he faced in the previous inning. He came to the field later. &nbsp;</p>



<p>The Delhi Capitals batting started on a high note. Tim Siefert was taking on the bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah and Daniel Sams were taken for 23 runs in the first few overs. Prithvi Shaw was on the song too. The downfall of the innings started with the dismissal of Seifert. He was cleaned up by Murugan Ashwin. One brings two, immediately the wicket of Mandeep Singh and Rishabh Pant fell. The Capitals were reduced to 32 for 3. Prithvi held the inning together and scored 38 of 24 balls. Before he fell at 72 for 4. Axar Patel then took matters into their own hands. He started tonking the Mumbai bowlers. Lalit Yadav was supporting him very well. Lalit Yadav was incredible. Axar and Lalit snatched the victory from Mumbai?s hand. ?</p>

<p>Daniel Sams wasn?t in the best of touch. He went for 3 sixes in his ultimate over and cost the men in blue the game. Jasprit Bumrah looked out of touch. He leaked runs at the economy of 13. Not the best of days for the maestro. Mumbai Indians like always lost their first match of an IPL 2022 season. ?</p>

<p>TATA IPL 2022 is underway. The game on Sunday afternoon was a thriller. Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav snatched the victory from the arms of the Mumbai Indians. Jasprit Bumrah had a bad day at work while leaking 13 runs and over. The next game in the evening was the Royal Challengers Bangalore going up against the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-punjab-kings-pbks-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Punjab Kings</a>. The TATA IPL 2022 was made more thrilling by this amazing game. Here is a look at the brief score:?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, RCB Playing XI:?</h2>



<p><br><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/royal-challengers-bangalore-names-faf-du-plessis-as-captain/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Faf du Plessis </a>(c),?Virat Kohli,?Anuj Rawat,?Dinesh Karthik (wk),?Sherfane Rutherford,?Shahbaz Ahmed,?Wanindu Hasaranga,?David Willey,?Harshal Patel,?Akash Deep,?Mohammed Siraj.?</p>



<h2>Punjab Kings Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>&nbsp;<br>Mayank Agarwal (c),&nbsp;Shikhar Dhawan,&nbsp;Liam Livingstone,&nbsp;Bhanuka Rajapaksa (wk),&nbsp;Shahrukh Khan,&nbsp;Odean Smith,&nbsp;Raj Bawa,&nbsp;Arshdeep Singh,&nbsp;Harpreet Brar,&nbsp;Sandeep Sharma,&nbsp;Rahul Chahar&nbsp;</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, RCB VS PBKS, RCB Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Royal Challengers Bangalore started their season on an all-time high. Anuj Rawat opened alongside Faf Du Plessis. Rawat, the boy from Delhi opened and attacked the opposition. He punished the Punjab Kings before getting perished at the score of 50. It was 50 for 1 when Virat walked in to bat. Virat and Faf moved the strike around. This was just the calm before the storm. Faf was once batting at a strike rate of 70. Then came the 14<sup>th</sup> over of the innings. Harpreet Brar was at the mercy of both the veterans of the game. They struck 3 sixes in that over. The next over by Odean Smith was taken for 23 runs. Dinesh Karthik gave the cherry on the top by scoring a quick-fire 32 of 41 balls. Faf Du Plessis was the superstar with 88 of 58 balls. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</p>



<p>Faf Du Plessis 88 of 57. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Virat Kohli 41 of 29.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Dinesh Karthik 32 of 14. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>RCB VS PBKS, Punjab Kings Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Punjab Kings also batted amazingly well. Mayank Agarwal and Shikhar Dhawan tonked the bowlers in the first few overs. The second over fetched 15 runs. Siraj was the culprit this time. The surprise package was Bhanuka Rajapaksha. Rajapaksha got the much-needed acceleration to the Punjab innings. He scored 43 of 23 balls before getting out to Siraj. The very next ball by Siraj was a ?jaffa? by Siraj and it got rid of Raj Angad Bawa. The young man didn?t expect such a full delivery. Shikhar Dhawan fell to a slower ball by Harshal Patel, handed out a catch to Anuj Rawat. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Liam Livingstone, Odean Smith, and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ishan-kishan-shahrukh-khan-added-to-indias-squad-for-1st-odi-against-wi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shahrukh Khan</a> had to get the task done now. Odean Smith was in the mood. He stood to the hype that his name has in India. He was tonking the ball. Siraj also was taken to the cleaners. Shahrukh Khan very smartly focused on bringing Smith on strike. Harshal Patel had an off-day too. Most of the sixes came straight down the ground. Odean Smith scored 25 of 8 balls and remained not out. ?</p>



<p>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</p>



<p>Bhanuka Rajapaksha 44 of 23.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two new teams in the TATA IPL 2022 played their first game on Monday. It is the beginning of a new rivalry in the TATA IPL. Lucknow Super Giants and Gujarat Titans locked horns at the Wankhede Stadium. It was won by the Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets and 3 balls to spare. Rahul Tewatia was the star of the match. Mohammad Shami showed his skill with the ball in the first innings.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/syed-mushtaq-ali-trophy-2021-deepak-hooda-suspended-by-baroda-cricket-association-for-the-indiscipline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Deepak Hooda</a> also showed his skill with the bat. Ayush Badoni was a surprise package. Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, Lucknow Super Giants Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>&nbsp;<br>KL Rahul (c),&nbsp;Quinton de Kock (wk),&nbsp;Evin Lewis,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/manish-pandey/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manish Pandey,&nbsp;</a>Deepak Hooda,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/hardik-and-krunal-pandya-donated-more-oxygen-concentrators-to-covid-centres/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Krunal Pandya</a>,&nbsp;Mohsin Khan,&nbsp;Ayush Badoni,&nbsp;Dushmantha Chameera,&nbsp;Ravi Bishnoi,&nbsp;Avesh Khan&nbsp;</p>

<h2>IPL 2022, LSG VS GT, Lucknow Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The toss was won by the men from West India. Gujarat opted to bowl first keeping the dew in mind. The thing that raised eyebrows was the fact that Lucknow entered the game with 3 overseas players only. Mohammad Shami gave a rocking start to the Gujarat Titans. He took a wicket off the first ball of the innings. KL Rahul was out for a duck on the first delivery of the game. Next to walk back was Quinny. Shami rattled his stumps as well. Before things got together a screamer from Shubman Gill sent Ewin Lewis back to the pavilion. Lucknow Super Giants were reduced to 29 for 4. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Deepak Hooda came to the rescue of the LSG squad. He along with Ayush Badoni stitched a partnership. Both of them batted very well. They moved the strike around and unleashed it on the 14<sup>th</sup> and 15<sup>th</sup> over. Deepak got to his fifty in style. But before he could exploit more he perished. Lucknow was then in a better position at 109 for 5. Ayush Badoni carried on the show. He scored a wonderful 54 of 41 balls. He showed a variety of shots as well. Hardik Pandya was bowling 140 clicks and bowled his full quota of overs. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</p>



<ul>
<li>Ayush Badoni 54 of 41. &nbsp;</li>



<li>Deepak Hooda 55 of 41. &nbsp;</li>



<li>Mohammad Shami 3/25. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<h2>LSG VS GT Gujarat Titans? Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Gujarat Titans' batting also started on a poor note. Shubman Gill was shown the road to the Pavillion by Dushmantha Chameera. Dushmantha also rattled the stumps of Vijay Shankar to keep the Titans reeling at 15-2. Hardik Pandya walked in at number 4 and took the charge of the opposition. He flicked his first ball for 4. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Hardik Pandya and Matthew Wade moved the game ahead. They rotated the strike. The odd lost ball was slammed for 4. When Hardik perished he left the team stranded at 79 for 3. Matthew Wade also moved to the pavilion by getting cleaned up by Hooda. </p>



<p>Rahul Tewatia then walked in and supported <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/gt-vs-lsg-4th-match-ipl-2022-live-score-updates-hardik-pandya-will-face-kl-rahul/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Miller</a>. Both of them took on the spinners. The moment of the match was when Rahul reverse-swept Ravi Bishnoi for a six! In the last two overs, 20 runs were required. Abhinav Manohar scored a boundary in the penultimate over. And by scoring two more 4s in the last over, Sadarangani got the Titans to victory. Miller's knock was very crucial. KL Rahul went wrong by not giving Dushmantha Chameera his full quota. </p>



<p>Brief Scores:</p>



<ul>
<li>Hardik Pandya: 33 of 28 balls.</li>



<li>Rahul Tewatia: 40 of 24 balls.</li>



<li>David Miller: 30 of 21 balls.</li>



<li>Dushmantha Chameera 2/22</li>

<p>IPL 2022 has begun. The tournament has seen several exceptional performances. Many young players have made a name at the start of the tournament. Umesh Yadav is having an exceptional start to the tournament. In the absence of Deepak Chahar, he is making a strong case for himself in the white-ball circuit. The game on Friday saw the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-squad-2022-playing-11-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kolkata Knight Riders</a> take on the Punjab Kings.

Shikhar and Mayank were looking solid. But the initial strikes were made by Umesh Yadav. He took out Mayank but hit him on the pads. Next in was Bhanuka Rajapaksha. Bhanuka was looking in supreme touch. He smacked Shivam Mavi for 20+runs in an over. Rajapaksha played the blinder of an innings in which he scored 31 of 9 balls. Liam Livingstone then walked in and tried to hold the innings together. But Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine had already spun their web around the PBKS? batters. ?</p>



<p>Tim Southee also bowled an amazing spell. Liam Livingstone handed out a catch to Southee. This catch was match-changing. Southee covered 60 meters of the ground initially and then dived to take this perfect catch. Shahrukh Khan also couldn?t hang in. KG Rabada hit a few meaty blows in the second spell of Tim Southee to take PBKS to a respectable 137. Odean Smith in the wake of getting on strike got Arshdeep run-out and the PBKS team couldn?t play their full quota of 20 overs! ?</p>

<p>The KKR batting innings were doing well till KG Rabada tried to play spoilsport. He sent back Ajinkya Rahane as Rahane handed a catch to Odean Smith at gully. KKR was 14-1. Venky Iyer and <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/nitish-rana/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nitish Rana</a> too didn?t contribute much. Rahul Chahar picked the crucial wicket of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer was out at a score of 26 of 15 balls. Venky and his poor run continued with him scoring a mere 3 runs of 12 balls. ?</p>



<p>But Dre Russ walked in at number 6 and completely obliterated the bowlers. He took the spinners down piece by piece. Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar were taken to the cleaners. The pressure built by the initial bowlers couldn?t be kept. Russell was talking in sixes. Odean Smith also leaked runs at 19.5 runs in an over. Finally, Russell remained not out scoring 71 of 31 balls! KKR reached the target comfortably with 6 wickets in hand. ?</p>

<p>The TATA IPL 2022 season has begun. The games are turning into nail-biting conquests. The tournament is also seeing many youngsters on the rise. The Rajasthan Royals are off to a flying start winning 2 out of 2 games. The Mumbai Indians on the other hand, as expected are starting slow. There are many positives for them with Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan coming into prime form. The day game saw Mumbai lose to RR by 23 runs. The night game was between Gujarat Titans and the boys from Delhi. Here is an in-depth look at the evening game:?</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans Playing 11:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Shubman Gill,&nbsp;Matthew Wade (wk),&nbsp;Vijay Shankar,&nbsp;Hardik Pandya (c),&nbsp;David Miller,&nbsp;Rahul Tewatia,&nbsp;Abhinav Manohar,&nbsp;Rashid Khan,&nbsp;Lockie Ferguson,&nbsp;Varun Aaron,&nbsp;Mohammed Shami&nbsp;</p>



<h2>IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals Playing 11:&nbsp;</h2>

<h2>IPL 2022, DC VS GT, Gujarat Titans Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The toss was won by the Delhi Capitals and they opted to bowl first. This was again expected as all the teams are using the same formula. ?</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.delhicapitals.in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Delhi Capitals </a>began on a positive note dismissing Matthew Wade while the Titans were at 2-1. Vijay Shankar walked in next and tried to anchor the innings. He was successful in his plan, as before dismissing, he took the Titans to 44-2. Hardik Pandya was the next one to walk in. The<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2022-gujarat-titans-gets-12-sponsors-raise-65-crores/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Gujarat</a> management is relying on Hardik and they are using him to his full potential. ?</p>



<p>By this time Shubman Gill was in supreme touch. He was not only scoring boundaries but was also focusing on the singles and doubles. Gill played only 6 dot balls in his innings. Hardik was also not in a very attacking mode. Both of the boys moved the game around. Khaleel came and pulled the game back for the Delhi Capitals. He dismissed Hardik Pandya. Shubman, however, was around. He slammed a 4 and two 6s off Axar Patel?s over. But the very next over Khaleel dismissed him too. Capitals?were back in business with Gujarat Titans at 145-4. David Miller and Rahul Tewatia gave a few finishing touches and Gujarat ended with 171/6 off 20 overs. ?</p>



<h2>Brief Scores:&nbsp;</h2>



<ul><li>Gujarat Titans: 171/6 off 20 overs. ?</li><li>Shubman Gill: 84 off 46 balls. ?</li><li>Hardik Pandya: 31 off 27 balls. ?</li><li>Khaleel Ahmed: 2/42.?</li></ul>



<h2>GT VS DC, Delhi Capitals Batting Innings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The Delhi Capitals? batting never looked very settled. The Gujarat bowlers were on their mark from the word go! Hardik Pandya got rid of Tim Seifert off his very first ball. Delhi was reeling at 5-1. Mandeep Singh walked in. He did try to anchor the innings but Prithvi Shaw couldn?t hold ground. Shaw was out to a short-ball. It looks like all the IPL teams have figured out his weakness and are bowling short deliveries to him. After his and Mandeep's dismissal, the Capitals were in total disarray at 34-3. ?</p>



<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rishabh-pants-captaincy-resembles-rohit-sharma-says-ricky-ponting-ahead-of-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rishabh Rajendra Pant </a>walked in next. He along with Lalit Yadav bought the game back into the control of the Capitals. Both the batter from Delhi moved the game. A hit or two in an over was always on the mark. Lalit Yadav was run out in a very unusual fashion when Delhi was at 95! Then an amazing spell from <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/new-zealand-pacer-lockie-ferguson-ruled-out-of-t20-world-cup-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lockie Ferguson</a> left the Capitals perplexed.

<h2>IPL 2022, Lakshmipathy Balaji Takes First-Ever IPL Hat-Trick:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Lakshmipathy Balaji wrote his name down in history books when he got the first-ever IPL hat-trick. He created this milestone in the game against the Punjab Kings in the very first season. Balaji was representing the Chennai Super Kings that season. His hat-trick comprised the wickets of Irfan Pathan, Piyush Chawla, and VRV Singh. ?</p>



<h2>Amit Mishra has 3 Hat-Tricks in the IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Amit Mishra is a legend of the IPL. This leg spinner had a lot to offer to any team which he represented. Amit has taken 3 hat-tricks in the IPL. It would have been 4 if Trent Boult wouldn?t have dropped a catch in the 2019 IPL edition when Mishra was on a hat-trick! But keeping the ifs and buts aside, Mishra has taken 3 hat-tricks while playing for 3 different franchises. His first hat-trick came in the very first season when he was playing for the Delhi Daredevils against the Deccan Chargers. The second one was when he was playing for the Deccan Chargers against the Kings XI team. The last one was in 2013 while representing SRH against Pune Warriors India.?</p>

<p><span>During the last Test between India and Australia, Indian players in Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were at the receiving end of racial slurs. The players of the team were abused by the fans, and it turned out to be a big controversy, with Sydney Cricket management banning the particular section of the ground.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>A similar kind of thing unfolded on Day 1 of the ongoing match between India and Australia. Again, a particular section of the crowd came under the radar. The fans were abusing Indian fans in the stadium as they were seen chanting, "Where is your visa?". The video went viral on the internet with many lashing out at fans.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The people at the Sydney Cricket Ground were also seen booing Indian players as well. They had a go at Virat Kohli and then later Jasprit Bumrah, who was involved in a massive fight with Sam Konstas during the last over of Day 1 of the ongoing Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Coming to the match, Australia started the last day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on a dominating note. The visitors carried their good form and put India under massive pressure at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span>The start with the bat didn't go the way India would've wanted as both the openers, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were back early.

<p><span>He, along with Virat Kohli (17), added 40 runs for the third wicket. But both the batters couldn't bat for long as India was left tottering at 72 for four.

<p>Team India is currently participating in the five-match 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series on Australian soil versus the Mighty Australians. The series is currently led by the Kangaroos, who have a lead of 2-1. </p>
<p>While the Indians kicked off the BGT series on a positive note, securing a comfortable victory in the Perth Test-Match, they have not been able to replicate that success in the remaining matches of the series. They suffered embarrassing defeats in the Adelaide and Melbourne Test-Matches while the Gabba Test-Match was a rain affected one and ended in a draw. </p>
<p>The Rohit Sharma-led team fell to a shambolic 184 run defeat verus Pat Cummins and his men in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match and this defeat has made the Men in Blue's chances of qualifying for the WTC Final even more difficult. </p>
<p>Actually, besides the Indian batters even the bowlers did not live upto expectations except Bumrah. While the Vice-Captain of the Team performed exceptionally well but he turned out to be the lone-warrior with the ball as he didn't get the required support from the other bowlers. </p>
<p>In the first inning of the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match, the 29-year-old dismissed four Aussie batters before picking up a fifer in the 2nd inning. This way, he took a total of nine wickets in that match. </p>
<h2><strong>The other Indian bowlers are not able to support Jasprit Bumrah</strong></h2>
<p>Statistics show that the performance of Bumrah in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC) have been absolutely phenomenal. This fast bowler has trapped many bowlers with his variations and has used countless number of tricks up his sleeve to decieve them but he is just not able to get the required support from the other end. </p>
<p>In 35 WTC matches, the Indian Vice-Captain has dismissed 155 batters at a remarkable economy of 2.80 and an amazing average of 18.56. He has also dismissed those 155 batters with a strike rate of 39.78.</p>
<h2><strong>Such has been the performance of Jasprit Bumrah in the World Test Championship</strong></h2>
<p>In the 35 matches of the World Test Championship, Jasprit Bumrah has achieved the feat of taking 5 wickets in an innings 10 times. Apart from this, he has taken 4 wickets in an innings 7 times. Cricket experts believe that Jasprit Bumrah did not get the support of other Indian bowlers and that's the reason why the Men in Blue have struggled to dominate the Aussies. </p>
<p>If Jasprit Bumrah had got the support of other bowlers, then perhaps the path to the World Test Championship would have been easier for the Indian team, but this did not happen. Let us tell you that in the current series against Australia, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 31 wickets at an average of 12.74.</p>

Jasprit Bumrah of India has performed in an exceptional manner in the World Test Championship (WTC) but despite his remarkable displays with the ball, Team India has struggled to capitalise.

Jasprit Bumrah has amazing stats in the WTC with the ball but still Team India is not able to perform well

<p>The fifth and final test between India and Australia started on Friday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The first day has completed, but the biggest story is the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. The 37-year-old opted to sit out for the final test, and Jasprit Bumrah led in his absence.</p>
<p>His decision has raised concerns over his future in the Indian test team as he is also going through a very bad phase with the bat. However, according to some media reports, Rohit has played his last test for India at the MCG and might not return in white. The report from Indian Express indicates that selectors are looking beyond Rohit in test cricket.</p>
<p>There are chances that the Indian captain might announce his retirement after the ongoing SCG test. If it happens, India need someone to bat at the top or replace him. Here we will talk about three possible replacements for Rohit Sharma in tests.</p>
<h2>Three Players who can replace Rohit Sharma in whites if he retires after the SCG test</h2>
<p><strong>1. Shubman Gill</strong></p>
<p>Shubman Gill started as an opener in tests but shifted to no. 3 after India dropped Cheteshwar Pujara. But his numbers at no. 3 haven't done justice to his decision. India might need someone solid at the top, and Gill presents that technique. He can shift to the top of the order if Rohit retires from tests. He will give India a right-hand and left-hand option at the top with Yashasvi Jaiswal.</p>
<p><strong>2. Abhimanyu Easwaran</strong></p>
<p>Just like many Indian stars, Abhimanyu Easwaran is another name that has been knocking on the door of the Indian test side for the last couple of years now. He has been included in the squad many times but is still looking to get his maiden cap. He is a prolific scorer at the domestic level and is a gifted top-order batter. If given a chance, he can be a solid top-order batter. India can groom him into a good option to replace Rohit Sharma.</p>
<p><strong>3. Nitish Kumar Reddy</strong></p>
<p>This could be an out-of-the-box choice, but Nitish Kumar Reddy has certainly shown great composure for India in the ongoing BGT series. He has scored 294 runs at an average of 42 and is the third highest scorer in the series. He has shown that he has good technique to handle the bounce and pace. Currently, Reddy batting at no. 8 is not ideal for a talented batter like him. Just like Sam Konstas for Australia, he can be a fearless top-order batter if given a chance.</p>

Rohit Sharma was dropped from the playing XI for the fifth and final test against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
