The 26-years old cricketer consistently provided brisk starts to SRH, despite his partner, Kane Williamson struggling at the other end. Abhishek Sharma scored a total of 426 runs in 14 matches of the Tata IPL 2022 at a strike rate of over 130 and an average of 30.43.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) roped in Rajat Patidar for the remainder of the IPL 2022 after Luvnith Sisodia was injured and ruled out of the tournament. Patidar come in as a replacement and didn?t let the opportunity slip away from his hands.



The Indore based cricketer played one of the best knocks of the IPL 2022 scoring a century in just 43 deliveries in the eliminator against Lucknow Super Giants. Rajat Patidar muscled 333 runs for RCB in just seven innings at a brilliant average of 55.50.



From being unsold at the player auction 2022 to becoming RCB?s impactful performer, Rajat Patidar did exceedingly well throughout the tournament and helped RCB reach qualifier 2.

Though Mumbai Indians (MI) suffered a bumpy season in the Indian Premier League, the franchise had several bright spots which kept them going in the tournament. Tilak Verma was one such bright spot for the five-time IPL champions.



The 19-year old cricketer firmly kept scoring in the middle order, no matter how his team performed. Verma not only played sensible cricket and saved Mumbai from a couple of humiliating debacles, but also accelerated the innings when required.



In his 14 innings in the IPL 2022, Tilak Verma scored 397 runs at an impressive average of 36.09 and a strike rate of 131.02.

<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=India" rel="nofollow">India </a>was fined five per cent of their match fee for falling one over short of the minimum over rate, whereas <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=West+Indies" rel="nofollow">West Indies</a> have been fined 10 per cent of their match fee for falling two overs short of the minimum over rate.



The match was played at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Trinidad, on August 3, 2023. West Indies won the match by four runs. In addition to the fine, India and West Indies have also been warned to maintain a better over rate in the upcoming matches.



This is not the first time that India has been fined for slow over-rate. In the ICC World Test Championship final 2022-23 against Australia, India was fined 100 per cent of its match fee for falling 34 overs short of the minimum over rate.



Slow over-rate has become a significant problem in international cricket in recent years. In order to address this issue, the ICC has introduced several new rules, including a mandatory time-out after 20 overs of each innings.

IND vs WI 2023: India and West Indies Fined for Slow Over-rate in the First T20I match | India Tour of West Indies 2023

ind-vs-wi-2023-india-and-west-indies-fined-for-slow-over-rate-in-the-first-t20i-match-india-tour-of-west-indies-2023

IND vs WI: The second match of the five-match T20I series was played at Providence Stadium in Guyana.

In a thrilling match, West Indies defeated India by two wickets to register their second win of the series.



In the absence of veteran players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the Indian team is unable to deliver anything especially impressive. All Indian fans anticipated that the team would perform well when it returned in the second T20 match after the loss in the first match, but regrettably, the Indian team had to suffer a loss in both games. The West Indies team now leads the series 2-0. The Indian team will need to win all three of the remaining games if they are to win the series.

The Indian team did not benefit from choosing to bat first after winning the toss. In the third over, Shubham Gill dealt the team its first blow. He completed a nine-ball, seven-run inning. While Suryakumar Yadav, who is batting third, is causing the Indian team trouble once more. His performance is still lacking. He was only able to score one run. Although this was only Tilak Verma's second T20I game, he did well and scored the first century of his international career. With the help of five fours and a six, he played an excellent inning, scoring 51 runs in just 41 balls.



Wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson, who has been in the headlines of cricket for a long time, is also not able to capitalize on the opportunity. He scored only 7 runs in this match at a strike rate of 100, while the hero of the previous match Hardik Pandya scored 24 runs in 18 balls with the help of two sixes, while all-rounder Axar Patel scored 14 runs in 12 balls.

Chasing the target of 152 runs, the start of the West Indies team was not special, the Caribbean team had lost all three of their top order batsmen by the fourth over of the powerplay. It seemed that the West Indies team would not even be able to score 100 runs. But then wicket-keeper batsman Nicholas Pooran, who came as a savior for the West Indies, put the West Indies in a strong position with his stormy innings. He played an inning of 67 runs in just 40 balls with the help of six fours and 4 sixes.



After Pooran's dismissal, the Indian team's biggest headache was middle-order batsman Shimron Hetmyer, but he got clean bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal. After his dismissal, it seemed that the Indian team would easily win the match, but West Indies lower-order batsmen Akeal Hosein and Alzarri Joseph, with their prudence, got West Indies to win the match with seven balls to spare.

IND vs WI 2023: Suryakumar Yadav Becomes the Second Fastest Batter to Smash 100 T20I sixes, Joins Virat and Rohit's Elite Group

ind-vs-wi-2023-suryakumar-yadav-becomes-the-second-fastest-batter-to-smash-100-t20i-sixes-joins-virat-and-rohits-elite-group

IND vs WI: Renowned English cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle has commented on the controversy between Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma in the third match played between India vs West Indies. The third match of the five-match series was played on August 8 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana, in which the Indian team defeated the West Indies by seven wickets.



India needed only 2 runs in 14 balls to win, then on the fourth ball of the 18th over, Hardik Pandya gave India the first win in the series by hitting the wheel in his own style. However, the victory was interrupted when Pandya, who was batting at the non-striker's end on 49 at the non-striker's end, asked Tilak to stay put in the stump mic recording.



Due to this behavior of Captain Hardik Pandya, the fans and experts of the cricket world got divided into two different groups. The first group was in favor of Hardik Pandya while the fans of the second group were opposing this behavior of Pandya. Bhogle backed Pandya saying that "50 is not a benchmark in the shortest format of the game". He further added that "If a player is quick to score maximum runs, then average and strike rate are Important".



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
"I am puzzled by the discussion around Tilak Varma missing out on a 50. It isn't a landmark, in fact other than a century (which is rare), there are no landmarks in T20 cricket. We are far too obsessed with individual achievement within a team sport. I don't believe 50s should be recorded in individual stats in T20 cricket. If you have made enough runs quickly enough (avg and SR), that is all that matters."

Both batting and bowling are excellent at Central Broward Park, but fast bowlers get swing on this surface, so the batsman needs to play a little more cautiously. Because the ball comes off the bat well, batsmen can rely on its bounce, which makes it simple to stroke.



Because the pitch becomes slower as the game goes on, giving more support to the spinners in the second innings and making batting a little more challenging, the team that wins the toss prefers to bat first.

Asian Games 2023: Team India Men's Updated Squad for Cricket Asian Games 2023 Hangzhou

asian-games-2023-team-india-mens-updated-squad-for-cricket-asian-games-2023-hangzhou

IPL 2025: Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) ended their 2024 Tata Indian Premier League campaign with an 18-run defeat against KL Rahul's Lucknow Super Giants at home, resulting in a bottom-of-the table finish for the second time in the last three IPL seasons.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#four-players-mumbai-indians-might-retain-in-ipl-2025-auction">Four Players Mumbai Indians might?retain in IPL 2025 Auction</a></div></div></nav></div>



The five time IPL champions, who played in the second qualifier of IPL 2023, were keen to make a comeback and get back to lifting the IPL trophy again. And in order to lift their sixth trophy, the Mumbai-based franchise made a huge decision of bringing all rounder Hardik Pandya back to the team in an all cash deal worth 15 crore rupees from Gujarat Titans.



Ahead of IPL 2024?s Auction, Mumbai had decided to retain the core players of their squad and added Hardik to the squad as well before the auction in order to replace Cameron Green, who was traded in the most expensive trade deal in the history of the IPL worth 17.5 crore rupees to Royal Challengers Bengaluru.



But, Hardik?s return to MI had a mixed response from the fans and then things became even more worse when the MI management announced that Rohit Sharma - the most successful captain of the Mumbai Indians will be replaced by Hardik Pandya as the Skipper ahead of IPL 2024.



The decision of replacing Rohit with Hardik as the captain didn't please the fans at all and some main players of the franchise as well were not happy with the decision and social media platforms were filled with angry reactions. The 2024 season of the Indian Premier League for Mumbai ended on a poor note as well. Now, the five time winners will be tasked with building a squad which is capable of helping them lift their sixth title around their new captain.



The auction of IPL 2025 will be a mega auction similar to the one in 2022, where Mumbai were forced to release some star players from their squad including Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya but they had decided to retain Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard.



Like the IPL 2022 mega auction, each franchise will reportedly be allowed to retain a maximum of four players for IPL 2025 as well. But, there are some rumors which say that team owners have requested the BCCI to allow each franchise to retain a maximum of eight players.



While there's no confirmation in regards to how many players can be retained by all the teams ahead of IPL 2025?s mega auction, it's very likely that franchises will be allowed to retain a maximum of four players each. In addition to player retention, teams will also have the option of using the Right To Match (RTM) cards in the mega auction.



If just four players are allowed to get retained, then the Mumbai based franchise will have to make some tough decisions on who to retain and release ahead of the 2025 IPL Mega Auction as they look to build a squad which can help them to get back to their title winning ways. Here are four players that Mumbai might retain:



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="four-players-mumbai-indians-might-retain-in-ipl-2025-auction">Four Players Mumbai Indians might?retain in IPL 2025 Auction</h3>



<ol>
<li>Suryakumar Yadav</li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/Suryakumar-Yadav.jpg" alt="Mumbai Indians Breaking: Suryakumar Yadav to miss first two matches of IPL 2024" class="wp-image-127629" /></figure>



The World?s number one T20 International batter, Suryakumar Yadav joined the Mumbai Indians in 2018 and impressed in his very first season, amassing 512 runs which included four fifties at a decent strike rate of 133.33. But, as his career progressed, the 33 year old not only expanded his range of shots, he also succeeded in batting at a strike rate of more than 145. Currently, SKY is the most irreplaceable player for any side out there and is likely to get retained by MI in the mega auction once again.



<ol start="2">
<li>Jasprit Bumrah</li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Jasprit-Bumrah-MI-1.jpg" alt="IPL 2023: Players who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in IPL 2023 in MI Squad" class="wp-image-105859" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL/BCCI</figcaption></figure>



The best bowler in all formats of the game, Jasprit Bumrah is a force to reckon with for the Mumbai Indians. The 30 year old speedster joined MI in 2013 and impressed immediately on his debut as he got the precious wicket of Virat Kohli in his very first IPL match. His career has progressed a lot since then and he has improved even more with time. Bumrah has picked up 165 wickets in 133 matches in the Indian Premier League and has bowled at an outstanding economy rate of 7.30. In IPL 2024 as well, Bumrah managed to bowl at an economy of 6.48 while the others bowled at more than 10. The 30 year old has proven to be a crucial match winner for the Mumbai based franchise since his debut and imagining him playing for any other team is really hard.



<ol start="3">
<li>Tilak Verma</li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/TILAK-VS-rcb-1.jpg" alt="RCB vs MI: RCB's perfect bowling start thumps MI but MI bounced back in death | IPL 2023" class="wp-image-106693" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">RCB vs MI: Tilak Verma, The young sensation</figcaption></figure>



Tilak Verma started his IPL journey with the five time winners in 2022 where he had a fantastic debut season as he managed to score 397 runs in 14 encounters which consisted of two important fifties. Since his debut in 2022, Tilak has gone to become one of the most important players for the Mumbai based franchise and has taken up the important responsibility of batting at number four and rescuing his team from tough situations. The 21 year old had a breakthrough IPL 2024 season as he amassed 416 runs in 13 matches at a really good strike rate of 149.64. The Hyderabad born player has a bright future ahead of him and not retaining him might prove to be a major blunder for the Mumbai Indians.



<ol start="4">
<li>Hardik Pandya</li>
</ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/04/Hardik-Pandya-MI-1024x683.jpg" alt="MI vs SRH Dream11 Prediction IPL 2024, MI Playing 11, Dream11 Team, Head-To-Head Record, Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report, Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad" class="wp-image-132861" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPLT20</figcaption></figure>



Ahead of IPL 2024, MI decided to trade Hardik Pandya in an all cash deal from 2022 winners Gujarat Titans and even decided to give him the leadership duties. However, this decision backfired and the joint most successful IPL franchise finished IPL 2024 at the bottom of the table after winning just four matches under the leadership of Hardik. But, the all rounder is a proven match winner and has played memorable and rescuing innings for both India and Mumbai Indians. It's highly unlikely that the MI management will lose faith in Hardik after just one season and will back him as the skipper in the?near?future.

IPL 2025: No Rohit Sharma? Four Players Mumbai Indians might?retain in IPL 2025 Auction

ipl-2025-no-rohit-sharma-four-players-mumbai-indians-might-retain-in-ipl-2025-auction

IPL 2024 saw many players who had a redeeming season for their franchise teams. From Abhishek Sharma?s breathtakingly aggressive opening batting alongside Head to Parag?s intense efforts in the middle order for the Royals, several players put in valiant efforts. 



With the IPL mega auction approaching in the 2025 season, many teams have to release their very desired players; however, that might be advantageous for the players as they might find themselves in lucrative offers. 



From the latest India debutants Abhishek and Parag to Aussies Travis Head and McGurk, let?s have a look at the topmost players who can draw attention in the mega-auction. 



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Top 10 Players expecting a price rise in IPL 2025</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#travis-head-6-80-crore">Travis Head: 6.80 crore</a></li><li class=""><a href="#abhishek-sharma-6-50-crore">Abhishek Sharma: 6.50 crore</a></li><li class=""><a href="#jake-fraser-mc-gurk-50-lakhs">Jake Fraser-McGurk: 50 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#rinku-singh-55-lakhs">Rinku Singh: 55 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#riyan-parag-3-80-crore">Riyan Parag: 3.80 crore</a></li><li class=""><a href="#prabhsimran-singh-60-lakhs">Prabhsimran Singh: 60 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#shashank-singh-20-lakhs">Shashank Singh: 20 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nk-reddy-20-lakhs">NK Reddy: 20 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#tushar-deshpande-20-lakhs">Tushar Deshpande 20 lakhs</a></li><li class=""><a href="#tilak-verma-1-74-crores">Tilak Verma: 1.74 Crores</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="travis-head-6-80-crore">Travis Head: 6.80 crore</h3>



The Aussie veteran has been the star in World cricket. Since Finch?s retirement for Australia Head has been an all-format player, opening in white-ball cricket. Head since then has been unstoppable, as he led Australia to a World Cup triumph, a great display in the IPL 2024, and so in leagues around the world. 



He was bought at a decent price of 6.80 crores, and his prices are surely going to rise by a huge amount even if SRH looks to acquire him using the RTM. Only if retained would the Aussie great see an undeserving amount. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="abhishek-sharma-6-50-crore">Abhishek Sharma: 6.50 crore</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>







One of the most talked-of talents in the last IPL. Scoring nearly 500 runs, Sharma was the highest six-hitter in the edition, and alongside Head, he formed the IPL?s most exciting opening pair. 



Sharma, who was recently picked as a team India player, scored an international ton. The amazing talent might look to have higher price offers from teams across the IPL, just like his mentor had in the history of the IPL. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="jake-fraser-mc-gurk-50-lakhs">Jake Fraser-McGurk: 50 lakhs</h3>



Fraser-McGurk was a late inclusion for David Warner, and under Ponting?s final season, he helped establish the young Australian as one of the future stars of the IPL. The fearless and destructive opening batter will surely be seen to have higher rates once he enters the mega auction. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="rinku-singh-55-lakhs">Rinku Singh: 55 lakhs</h3>



The KKR batter had his best of seasons playing for the side in 2023. Since then he has been picked at such a minimal price; however, this time with the likes of big guns retained by the defending champions, Rinku might have the chance of getting his prices high in the mega auction. 



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/07/Rinku-Singh-1024x538.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-144497" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rinku Singh (Image: Black Hat Talent Solutions)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="riyan-parag-3-80-crore">Riyan Parag: 3.80 crore</h3>



Not very less for just a 20-year-old, the Assam batter has had a year full of fortunes from domestic to IPL season. Parag was the Royals? best batter alongside skipper Samson, and in case in the hunt to retain players like Buttler and Samson they sent Parag to the auction, he might have higher chances to increase his price.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="prabhsimran-singh-60-lakhs">Prabhsimran Singh: 60 lakhs</h3>



Singh has been a constant performer in the most underperforming side of the IPL, the Punjab Kings. Singh cannot be retained in the season, and he would love to get into the auction as any team would seem to be interested in the rising talent that would boost his rates from 60 lakhs to some staggering amount. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="shashank-singh-20-lakhs">Shashank Singh: 20 lakhs</h3>



Shashank was PBKS? most successful batter, as he played several innings that led to miraculous victories for the lagging side. A great bunch of shots and an intense strike rate during the death overs make him an ideal choice for teams. Not again a 20 lakh if he is sent to the auction, as the aggressive finisher would be much in demand, especially with such options lacking in Indian players. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="nk-reddy-20-lakhs">NK Reddy: 20 lakhs</h3>



SRH?s late inclusion was one of their key players; the Indian all-rounder who has performed for India A was called for the Zimbabwe tour but missed it due to sustained injuries. Reddy replaced the likes of senior players Mayank, Rahul Tripathi, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiden_Markram">Aiden Markram</a>. And having proved his caliber, he will be on the radar for franchises as the probable Indian all-rounder options. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="tushar-deshpande-20-lakhs">Tushar Deshpande 20 lakhs</h3>



CSK?s highest wicket-taker has been one of those young talents under veteran keeper Dhoni behind the stumps. With promising domestic seasons for Mumbai and IPL greatness for Chennai Super Kings, he is likely to be one of the Indian bowlers who will remain in high demand. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="tilak-verma-1-74-crores">Tilak Verma: 1.74 Crores</h3>



Mumbai Indians? 2nd highest run scorer, only behind Rohit, is the most promising player who has often been thought of to find a place in the Indian team. The left-handed Andhra batter can be handed a big sum to be included in the mega auction of IPL 2025. He is to see a significant increase even if Mumbai looks to restore his services through the RTM.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was leading the Indian batting and brought the visitors back into the game. He stitched an important 102-run partnership with Virat Kohli for the third wicket, and Team India were looking good until there was a miscommunication between the two. Jaiswal was looking good for another big score and was going very well.
But on the last ball of the 41st over, he drove a ball to mid-on and was out of the blocks for a run. Virat, who was watching the ball, didn't respond, and Jaiswal got run out. That was the turning point in the Indian batting innings so far.
That run out also must have broken Virat's concentration, and he got out once again trying to poke at the ball outside off stump. Before that, he was leaving it pretty well. Jaiswal scored his ninth test fifty and made 82 runs off 118 balls, with 11 fours and one six. However, before getting out, he achieved a special feat.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Yashavi Jaiswal joins Sachin Tendulkar among the Indian players with most Test runs in a calendar year.</h2>
Jaiswal has had a tremendous year with the bat for India. He has scored the most runs for India in tests this year, and overall, he is the second-highest scorer in 2024. Jaiswal has scored 1394 runs in 28 innings at an average of 53.61 with three centuries and 8 half-centuries. He has hit 36 sixes this year.
Earlier, Jaiswal broke the long-standing record of Brendon McCullum for most test sixes in a year. McCullum struck 34 sixes in 2014, and Jaiswal has already hit 36 in 2024. Apart from that, Jaiswal has joined Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Sunil Gavaskar in an elite list of Indian batters with the most test runs in a calendar year.
In his 82-run innings, he went past Rahul Dravid (1357), Gundappa Viswanath (1388), and Virat (1322). Jaiswal has now scored the fifth-most test runs by an Indian in a calendar year. Sachin holds the Indian record with 1562 runs in 2010. Jaiswal still has one more innings in the MCG test, and he needs another 169 runs to break that record.
Speaking of the game, India finished Day 2 at 164/5. They were at 153/2 at one point and then lost three quick wickets for six runs. The visitors are still 111 runs behind to avoid the follow-on. Rishabh Pant (6) and Ravindra Jadeja (4) are at the crease, and India need a special effort from their lower order to do something.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was unlucky to get run out after a well-made 82 in the first innings of the ongoing Boxing Day Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

IND vs AUS DAY 2: Australia continued from their strong overnight score of 311/6 and completely dominated India in the first session of the day. Australia crushed India’s bowling, scoring 474 with Smith’s brilliant 140. India now faces a tough challenge on a tricky pitch.
Here’s how the action unfolded on Day 2:
<h2>Session 1: Australia Tightens the Grip</h2>
It was all about Australia in the morning session. In just 27 overs, they smashed 143 runs and lost only one wicket. India’s bowlers looked clueless as the Aussies made merry. Akash Deep, who shone yesterday, had a rough time today, giving away runs, while Jasprit Bumrah kept toiling but couldn’t find the breakthrough early on.
Steve Smith, looking every bit like the run-machine he is, played with ease and elegance. He kept the scoreboard ticking with clever singles and sharp boundaries, leaving no scoring chance behind. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins supported him brilliantly, finding the ropes regularly and frustrating the Indian bowlers.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt="">
The big moment came when Smith brought up his fifth Test century at the iconic MCG. The 112-run partnership between Smith and Cummins left India reeling. Cummins eventually fell to Ravindra Jadeja, trying to attack, but by then, the damage was done. India’s bowlers seemed tired and out of ideas, with their short-ball strategy failing on a pitch that wasn’t offering much pace or bounce.
<h2>Session 2: India Strikes Back, But Australia Posts a Mammoth Total</h2>
After lunch, India finally had something to cheer about. Ravindra Jadeja struck early, dismissing Mitchell Starc, and the very next ball saw the end of the brilliant Steve Smith, who was trapped on 140. It was a knock that reminded everyone why Smith is considered one of the best in the world—two centuries in two matches, first in Brisbane and now here at the MCG.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e1417aedc4.jpg" alt="">
Jasprit Bumrah then wrapped things up, dismissing Nathan Lyon, but not before Lyon and Scott Boland added 19 valuable runs for the last wicket. Australia finished their innings with a massive 474 runs on the board.
<h2>Australia’s Commanding Total</h2>
474 runs is a huge score on this pitch. With the surface offering something for both pacers and spinners, it’s going to be a big test for the Indian batters.
The foundation of this innings was laid by debutant Sam Konstas’ brilliant knock on Day 1, followed by good and moving innings from Manus, Khwaja, Carey, and not to mention a masterclass from Steve Smith today. His knock had shades of his golden form from 2019, leaving the Indian bowlers scratching their heads.
India’s bowling attack had very few bright spots. Bumrah was once again the standout, fighting hard to contain the Aussie batters. Jadeja kept things steady, but Akash Deep struggled to replicate his heroics from yesterday.
Can India’s batters rise to the occasion and fight back, or will this Australian total prove too much to handle? The challenge is massive, and the MCG is set for another gripping chapter in this Test series!

Australia dominated on Day 2, piling up 474 runs with Steve Smith’s masterful century. India’s bowlers struggled, while brief resistance from Bumrah and Jadeja couldn’t stop the Aussie charge on a challenging pitch.

Steve Smith’s century and Australia’s 474-run total leave India facing an uphill battle on a pitch favoring both spinners and pacers.

Jasprit Bumrah once again proved why he is one of the best in the business. Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground saw the Australian batters dominating the Indian bowlers.
The counterattack started when the debutant Sam Konstas took on Bumrah and slammed him for two sixes in an over. They set the tone for the hosts, and they had a great batting display in the first sessions. All four top Australian batters marked a fifty each.
But it was once again Bumrah who brought India into the game. He dismissed dangerous Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh in quick succession, which dented the Australian scoring rate. Bumrah ended the day at 3/75. He once again proved to be the real threat for the hosts.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Jasprit Bumrah on verge of reaching 200 wickets in Test cricket on Day 2</h2>
Jasprit Bumrah, with his three wickets, registered a couple of great records. He dismissed Head for a duck and became the first Indian bowler to dismiss the Australian batter for a duck against India. Apart from him, with his three wickets, he also went past Anil Kumble (15) to take the most wickets at the MCG.
Bumrah now has 18 wickets at this iconic venue. But as he steps on the field on Day 2, Bumrah eyes a major record. Notably, Bumrah has 197 wickets now, and he has a chance to complete 200 wickets in the first innings itself. Australia still have four wickets left in the bank, and if the Indian pacer can take three wickets on Day 2, he will become the fastest Indian to reach this milestone.
Currently, Kapil Dev holds the record for the fastest Indian pacer to take 200 wickets in 50 tests. Jasprit Bumrah is currently playing his 44th Test, and he still has the second innings, but he can achieve this feat on Day 2 itself. Overall, Ravichandran Ashwin holds this Indian record in 37 tests.
Meanwhile, India need to make sure that they take the remaining four wickets early on Day 2 and try to bat long. India have dropped Shubman Gill, so they are one batter short. Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Nitish Reddy are three all-rounders in the lower middle order who need to take responsibility. Rohit Sharma is likely to open the innings, and KL Rahul will bat at no. 3.

Five time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a good 2025 Mega-Auction and they have built a solid squad ahead of the next edition of the tournament. The franchise managed to re-acquire the services of the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway in the Mega-Auction and they also bought R Ashwin, who played for the franchise between 2009 to 2015.
The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) will be kicking off from the 14th of March onwards and in this situation, the New Zealand player are going to face issues as the T20 International and One Day International series between the Kiwis and Pakistan is scheduled to start in the same month as well. 
This will make it difficult for players like Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Mitchell Santnwr, Bevan Jacobs and Glenn Phillips to participate in the first three weeks of the 2025 edition of the IPL.
<h2>Why is the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway likely to miss the starting phase of IPL 2025? </h2>
The New Zealand players will be staying in Pakistan post the conclusion of 2025 Champions Trophy on the 9th of March. From 16th of March to 5th of April, the Black Caps and the Shaheens will be squaring off versus each other in five T20 International games and three One Day International encounters. This is the reason why the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway will most likely miss the start of IPL 2025.
Even during the previous edition of the tournament, a white ball Cricket series took place between the same teams. At that time, a total of nine Kiwi players priorotized the IPL over the bilateral white-ball tour of Pakistan and played in the cash-rich T20 league. This time around though, there are doubts regarding the New Zealand Cricket Board agreeing to let their main players skip the tour of Pakistan and play in the IPL. 
The New Zealand Cricket Board has not taken any decision yet regarding the participation of their players in the 18th edition of the IPL. Last time around, the BCCI requested the NZC to let nine players miss the Pakistan series and play in the IPL. This time around too, the Cricket Governing Body of India is expected to make a request to the New Zealand Cricket Board in advance and resolve this issue by January of 2025.
If the duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are not given the permission to skip the Pakistan tour in favour of the IPL, then a lot of big problems are likely to be created for the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

New Zealand's 2025 white-ball bilateral tour of Pakistan is set to clash with IPL 2025 and this will make it difficult for New Zealand players to play in the initial phase of the IPL. CSK duo of Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway are going to get affected by this.

Indian players Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli were at their aggressive best during Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test against Australia. The Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne is hosting the Boxing Day Test between the teams. 
Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj made sure that they gave the Australian team a taste of their own medicine. The duo were seen continuously going into the head of the opposition batters, in particular Sam Konstas and Marnus Labuschagne. 
As they were all over the Australia batters, Mohammed Siraj had a light conversation with Marnus Labuschagne. It was then that Virat Kohli ordered the pacer to keep the intensity high and told him not to laugh. The batter was passing inputs to the pacer, and it was caught on the stump mic. 
Virat Kohli was heard telling pacer Mohammed Siraj, "Has ke baat nahi karna inse (Don't smile while talking to them)," However, after when Mohammed Siraj  exchanged words with Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne. You can watch the video below: 
<h2>Australia started the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on high</h2>
Coming to the match, Australia started the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on high. The hosts had a great day with the bat at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. They were off to a brutal start with the bat, thanks to debutant Sam Konstas (60). 
The 19-year-old took the attack to the Indian bowlers, in particular Jasprit Bumrah, from the start and raced away to his half-century. He, along with Usman Khawaja (57), added 89 runs for the opening partnership before Marnus Labuschagne (72) joined Khawaja, and the duo put on 65 runs. 
Steve Smith (68*) also slammed a vital half-century and kept batting till the end. India made a slight comeback after the wicket of Marnus as they picked quick wickets. Alex Carey (31) also came up with a handy effort as Australia ended day one with Smith and skipper Pat Cummins at 311 for six crease.

India captain Rohit Sharma was actively involved in the game during the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. 
Rohit Sharma was left pretty frustrated in the first two sessions of the match as Australia had a great time with the bat. The Pat Cummins-led side came up with a magical batting effort, especially from the top four batters Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, who all slammed half-centuries. 
Rohit Sharma tried different things, but nothing seemed to be going his way as Australia's batters kept smashing runs. This also saw India's captain going hard at his players, and young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was at the receiving end of the thrashing. 
It happened during Ravindra Jadeja's over when the all-rounder was bowling to Steve Smith. The Australian batter defended the ball, which went straight to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was standing near the wicket at the square leg region. He came up with a bizarre effort, and this didn't go well with Rohit Sharma. 
 <a href="https://x.com/mufaddal_vohra/status/1872075886947881321" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli vs Sam Konstas</a>
As the ball went towards Yashasvi Jaiswal, instead of fielding, he jumped and saved himself. This made Rohit Sharma angry as he was seen telling the batter: "Ay Jaisu, Gully cricket khel raha hai kya? Niche baith ke reh. Jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi. Niche baith ke reh." You can see the video below: 
However, after the first session, India made a strong comeback as they picked up a few quick wickets and brought themselves back into the game. Jasprit Bumrah, who was taken for cleaners in the first session, picked three wickets and brought some hope for relief for fans. 
Australia at stumps were 311 for six. Steve Smith was unbeaten at 68. India and captain Rohit Sharma will be hoping that they pick early wickets on Day 2 and come up with a better performance with the bat.

Australia batter Sam Konstas opened up about his fight with Virat Kohli during Day 1 of the ongoing fourth Test against India, which is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. He said that he was doing his gloves and the senior batter accidentally bumped him. 
The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia started on a high note as day one of the game witnessed an enthralling day of cricket. Not only this, the tensions were high as well as Indian players had their go at the Australian players, and it lifted the crowds. 
One of the highlights of Day 1 came between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas. The two were engaged in a heated argument in the first session of the day. It was then the Australian debutant started taking attacks on the Indian bowlers and slammed them all over the park. 
Sam Konstas, in particular, slammed Jasprit Bumrah all over the park. He played unorthodox shots and reversed-scooped him for six. While the battle between pacers and batter was going high, Virat Kohli was having a go at a batter behind the stumps. 
But the tensions flared up after the 10th over of the innings. After the over ended, Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas bumped shoulders while moving across the pitch between overs. Immediately after that, they shared a heated exchange of words before Usman Khawaja and umpire Michael Gough interrupted to separate the batters. 
<h2>"I was just doing my gloves. I think he accidentally bumped me - Sam Konstas on fight with Virat Kohli</h2>
This became a massive headline, but Australia batter Sam Konstas has now opened up about the entire incident. He said that Virat Kohli accidentally bumped him but mentioned that he, too, was trying to get into the contest. 
Sam Konstas revealed that he was trying to bring out the best version of himself. He feels that things getting heated up brought the best out of him, and he wants to carry on the confidence in the second innings. Speaking to reporters, he explained: 
"I was just doing my gloves. I think he accidentally bumped me. I think that's just cricket, just the tension. For me, I was just trying to get into the contest. 
"I was just trying to bring the best version of myself against whoever I was facing. It got heated at times, but that's good for me. I feel it brings the best out of me. Hopefully, it carries on in the next innings.". 
Konstas was the shining light for Australia on Day 1. The batter played aggressively and scored 60 runs off 65 balls, which ensured Australia got off to a brutal start with the bat.

Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was full of action. The day ended with Australia on top, but it was Virat Kohli and the debutant who gathered the headlines. All Australian and Indian media are talking about the incident that happened during the morning session.
It was Virat Kohli who bumped into Sam Konstas, and both were seen exchanging words on the field. Usman Khawaja and the umpires had to intervene to settle the matter. But both players were looking at each other. That physical altercation also saw Virat getting punished. He was fined 20 percent of his match fee and was given one demerit point.
<h2>What is Virat Kohli's salary, and how much will he get after a 20 percent deduction?</h2>
The cricket world is talking about the incident, and everyone has their opinion. Virat admitted and accepted his action. As a result, he was fined 20 percent of his match fee. But how much will be deducted from his salary? What will he get after deduction? We will talk about it here.
Notably, Virat Kohli is a top-grade Indian cricketer who falls in the A category. However, the grade doesn't decide the match fee. For an Indian cricketer, playing a test match, the fee is INR 15 lakhs. That means Virat will earn INR 15 lac from the ongoing test as the match fee.
As he has been fined 20 percent of the match fee, that means INR 3 lakh will be deducted from his salary as a penalty. After deduction, he will be getting INR 12 lacs. But as per the new incentive schemes for the Indian players by the BCCI, all players who play 75 percent of the test matches a year will get an additional INR 30 lacs per match as an incentive.
But Virat missed the five-match home test series against England earlier this year. He has featured in ten games out of 15 India played in 2024. That means he won't feature in that 75-percent category and won't get added INR 30 lac schemes. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day at 311/6. Their top four all made half-centuries. For India, Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets.

India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has revealed why Shubman Gill was dropped from the team for the fourth Test against Australia, which is taking place in Melbourne. He mentioned that the batter isn't dropped but couldn't find way in the combination. 
The fourth Test between India and Australia commenced on Thursday (26th December). It is a Boxing-day Test, which is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne and saw the enthralling day of cricket on Day 1 of the match. 
India's team made a massive change going into the game as young batter Shubman Gill was dropped from the team. In his place, the Rohit Sharma-led side included all-rounder, Washington Sundar, looking at the conditions, which looked pretty flat on Day 1 of the match. 
Shubman Gill getting dropped didn't go well with many fans and experts as they lashed out at the Indian team management for their poor decision. This is because the right-hander is the second-leading run-getter for the team in the longest format of the game this year, with over 800 runs. 
<h2> I feel for Shubman but he understands - Abhishek Nayar </h2>
But, Abhishek Nayar, Indian assistant coach, confirmed that Shubman isn't dropped. He said that he felt that Washington Sundar could be handy on the wicket along with Ravindra Jadeja. While mentioning that he feels for the young batter, Nayar said the batter was on the same page with the Team. Speaking to reporters, he said: 
"Looking at the pitch, we felt Washi could give solidarity along with Jaddu. I feel for Shubman but he understands. He’s not really dropped, just couldn’t find his way in the combination." 
Not only this, Abhishek Nayar also confirmed that Rohit Sharma will be opening the innings for the team. This means that KL Rahul will walk out to bat at No.3 and the team management would be hoping that the move pays off and India wins the game. 
Coming to the match, Australia had a great day with the bat after opting to bat first. They piled up a massive total of 311 runs, with the top four batters slamming half-centuries and putting India bowlers under pressure. It remains to be seen what will be India's response on Day 2.

IND vs AUS 4th Test: Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and India at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium has ended. The hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. The Australian top order made the decision right, as all four top players scored a fifty each. Australia were looking to get to a big score at 237/3 when India pulled things back with some wickets.
Jasprit Bumrah once again was the pick of the bowlers, who took 3/75, while Akashdeep, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar took one wicket each. Steve Smith and Pat Cummins (8*) are unbeaten at the stumps. Smith is looking good for another century as he has scored 68 not out from 111 balls.
It won't be wrong to say that the first day belongs to the hosts. It started with some positive batting from the 19-year-old debutant Sam Konstas. He slammed a debut fifty. He made 60 off 65 balls, with six fours and two sixes, and took on Bumrah. That's when there was an ugly altercation captured between him and former Indian captain Virat Kohli on the field.
<h2>IND vs AUS 4th Test: Virat Kohli fined 20 percent of his match fee for his physical altercation with Sam Konstas at MCG</h2>
The former Indian captain collided with Konstas in the middle, which saw the two engaging in a heated exchange at the pitch. Usman Khawaja had to intervene, putting his hands on the shoulders of Virat with a smile and separating the two. Notably, inappropriate physical contact with a player, umpire, player personnel, or match referee comes under Law 2.12.
As a result, Virat Kohli has been fined for his action on the field. The former captain has admitted his action and has been punished with 20 percent of his match fee. Some reports even claimed that Virat might have to suffer a ban, but he ended with a match fee deduction.
For the visitors, who are already struggling, this is a blow, but they would be happy that there is no ban for Virat. Speaking of the game, Australia finished the day with 311/6. Usman Khawaja (57) and Marnus Labuschagne (72) also made half-centuries. Travis Head was bowled for a duck by Bumrah.
