Rishab pant played a stupid shot knowing there are fielders present exactly for those shots. He could have played shots somewhere else . Sunny gavaskar is right
Rishab should not have played that shot,at that stage of the game.That was very very irrisponsible.Thanks to Nitesh cool ,and sensible playing lndia is in a far better position,in the match.All the best .Nitesh !!❤❤👍👍👍👍
@@rishabdhar6900yes they bowled spinners later in the game. But Michael Holding who was at his peak and Bernard Julien bowled superb spell with the new ball and India had to see them off without losing too many wickets. Perhaps you don’t think of them as fast bowlers
West lndies played three spinners in that match. After that Clive Lloyd decided on an all pacd attack. Do your resesrch next time before posting. Michael Holding was still a o rookie at that stage.
I know they played 3 spinners. Padmore, Imtiaz and Jumadeen. Michael holding may have been new comer but was tearway fast bowler and considered amongst top 2 WI fast bowlers ( with Andy Roberts) . The same Holding troubled India in the 4th test at Kingston, Jamaica. So you can’t say that India scored against the rookie. Bernard Julien was also a good swing bowler who troubled good batsman. West Indies played their best bowlers in that game as it was supposed to be spinning track. No matter what the bowling is, scoring 406/4 in fourth innings was not easy and all top Indian batsman contributed to the victory. Amarnath played a Lion hearted innings of 85 and vishwanath scored 112. And this is not the only time Gavaskar scored in 4th innings. Remember the 221 at oval in 1979 chasing 438. India could have won that game if not for some bad umpiring that cost Vishwanath and Yashpal wickets. When Gavaskar got out India were 389/4 Rest of the batsman coul 5:01 d not score 48 runs. So take it easy friend. I know what I am posting. 😂
Mr Gavaskar is absolutely right about fielding placements, and perfect fielding will be the key for India's win. I still believe India will win this game, particularly as the Aussies will be under pressure to not let India retain the BGT.
We have huge respect for legendary Sunil Gavaskar, want to hear him about Rohit Sharma, the way is batting and having such a casual approach in his shot selection…..it is painful to see such a person leading India team, he looks out of place….
Gavaskar has said Rohit's future will depend on if he can get some big scores including a big hundred in the next 3 innings( that is up to sydney test).
Anyone saying natural game they donot understand test cricket. Opposition will adapt. 2021 was suprise this they prepared and had 3 fielders just for that. Anyone saying natural. Lol sachin natural shot is cover drive but not playing one and scoring 241 is test cricket.
Rightly pointed out by great man;certainly we know the capabilities of Rishabh yet he is representing the country and therefore shall not play into the hands of opposition
What is a test player ? Is head a test player ? Anyone who averages over 40 in test cricket these days on difficult pitches is a test player. Kohki and Rohit don't play these shots but look at their performances in last 4-5 years.
@@mayankdewli1010 There is no universally agreed-upon definition of a Test player. Test wickets should be earned by the bowlers, not surrendered by the batsmen. It is crucial to play according to the conditions and the situation at hand. Among the three players mentioned, Pant is the lowest. Pant has become a gallery player of late. Rohit Sharma will face the consequences. If this series goes other way.
Drop Pant how irresponsible The shot he played is normally seen played in the backyard.Rohit has given enough to India cricket and give him a good farewell Promote Reddy to #4 or 5
@@molly3820 there is something called situation awareness. Playing at number 5, he needs to be more responsible. He has many shots in his arsenal and does not need to play those high risk shots when the team needed him to play long. Maybe he should be a lower order bat at #6 or 7 if he wants to play those kind of shots.
I like the idea but a fast bowler's body is always injury prone. If he's made captain, he has to play every game. That's bad for Indian cricket. We need Bumrah in crucial matches so we'll have to rest him enough.
220 wont be enough for AUS.. Ind will chase it easily.. if the target is above 270+ then it will be difficult to win for India at MCG.... one good thing aussie bowlers are tired. Starc is already got some slight injury.. so Aus got some issues as well.. India need to get atleast 20 25 runs tomorrow morning.. and try to pick early wiks like brisbane.
27 crores for 2 months, 100+ crores net worth, another 100 crores coming up in the next few years. Wonder if Pant is motivated enough to even place a value on his wicket and desires deeply to win the test series anymore. Add to the fact that he took a single off the first ball to get Akash Deep on strike to face Boland with 10 mins remaining in the day. Sunil Gavaskar is bang on!
Yeah,drop Rishabh pant,but keep carrying non-performing players who r solely in the team as specialist batsmen ....keep blaming wicketkeeper and bowlers like Sundar and Reddy,because the specialist batsmen can't score runs at all...keep carrying dead weight like Rohit Sharms and Virat kohli for anothrr 5 yrs,because u want Virat kohli to score 100 centuries....so what if the Indian team keeps losing or unable to win because of kohli and Rohit....
this is what you get with Pant.. he will take the bowlers and the field on, did the same in 2021 but it came off then.. you have to accept the downside risk when there is a huge upside. With Sharma especially in test cricket, there is no upside. As you mention, the mindset is we need to accommodate him even if we lose the series. Dodda Ganesh was right in reminding these guys, it is a team sport!
True.I think this team wants virat and rohit to score runs for not winning but for personal milestones whereas expects from lower middle order to do miracle in every other match.just throw them out and bring youngsters who are the future
@@Sarvesh-f7h Kohli will soon be coach to a county cricket club in the UK! People talk about the fire still being there for him but for how long is team india going to wait for that Spark??? At the peril of losing the series??!!!
pant is highest run scorer in last series vs NZ ,he almost win that last match vs NZ single handly where all batsman fail , he is 2nd highest run scorer vs ban . He has 4 century in Sena country and 7 90s, he has avg of 44, he won us the last series vs aus and historical win in gabba . He has the highest runs in Sena country by any Indian batsman after 2020 . Just one bad series all are telling to remove him.Nobody is questioning on the place of Rohit who didn't even score with avg of 18.This is the reason why India is not producing the batsman like Travis head or Maxwell who can play their shot freely in any situation and win the game , Maxwell also failed in many series for his shot selection or Travis also failed in many series , if their did the same with Maxwell or Travis they can't become the player they are now , if anyone should be replaced he is only Rohit Sharma no one else!!!!
sunil lashes on pant because he know his potential and talent and was disappointed by him. if he dont care he won’t say a word as for rohit he doesn’t expect from him 😅
Absolutely agree with Sir Sunil Gavaskar. The shot is nothing but stupidity. Irresponsibiliyy to its highest core, when the country needed him badly. Rishabh Pant must be given marching orders and let Jurel replace him. Atleast Jurel has sense and will bat according to the situation. Pant despite knowing there is thirdman and fine leg going for this horrendous shot demands explanation from him.
Pant, RoKo are still in the T20 frame of mind ... but, the bigger question is then whta's the role of the coach and the selectors, why are they scared to tell this flat to their face that either they put their head down in test matches or ship out for the talented youngster waiting for opportunities like Jurel, Gill and the likes. It can't be "someone will save us" always, it has to be "I'll save us" always.
Australia's bowling attack was super, no doubt. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar's fightback against Australia's attack was better. They won the hearts of all the listeners, spectators and Indians. India made a brilliant comeback in the match.
If Reddy can score quick fire 20-30 runs that would be great!! With a lead of 70-80 odd Australia would want to bat atleast 3 session to set a target of anywhere near 350-370 would be difficult to chase!! But we can also bowl the Aussies out under 200 !! And have a score of around 270-300 which we can try to get
Rishab needs to understand that the team comes first before his reckless shots. After all it is Test Cricket and not T20 . Sharma needs to have a word with him and assure him that he cab play a responsible innings given the situation.
Thing is test cricket demands consistency over a period of time. Longer time. Pants record does not show that consistency Besides his keeping is definitely not test class. Yes or no? In 2021 Aussies were surprised with his game. They have adapted and planned for him now . But he has not adapted or planned his game.

Sunny ji youre absolutely right! But when will see this anger and frustration when Rohit gets out playing stupid shots? Was his pull shot to a wide delivery justified agaibst new ball?
Playing XI for Sydney Test now that Nitesh showed he is a specialist batter talent like Laxman or Dravid at No.5 . and bcoz Gill batting average in last 50 tests is 34. Gill should be dropped for Sydney also. 1. Jaiswal 2. KL Rahul(bcoz he is another Ajikana Rahane who plays well one innings to fail another 10 innings, this will be his final test if he fails in Sydney, KL Rahul needs be dropped if he fails in Sydney) 3. Padikal or Abhinav( Rohit should be dropped without any question if he does not announce retirement after MCG test. His batting average in last 20 innings in just 23) 4. Sarfaraz Khan( Virat should be dropped without any question if he does not announce retirement after MCG Test. His batting average in last 20 innings is just 26) 5. Nitish reddy( Not Rishabh pant bcoz he was never and will never be specialist no. 5 talent to play knock Nitesh or Laxman or Dravid. He is another wicket keeper batsman who can play cameo knock once in a while) 6. Rishab 7. Jadeja 8.Sundar 9. Prasidh(Siraj needs to be dropped permanently bcoz he has only 8 wickets in last 20 innings) 10. Akash or Harshit 11. Bumrah
Captaincy need to be proper. We cannot place all fielder in the boundary if Aussie come out firing in second innings. Rohit need to be smart and place 4 players in the boundary, 2 in each side and rest in catching position. For Konstas, bowl spin from both end. For Smith , block his scoring zone in leg side and attack off and middle stump.
Whether you like it or not , this method of playing helped Pant to be lot more consistent than the ‘famed’ top order batsmen and helped him win matches for India. Let’s not forget that.
Our new cricket heroes: Jaiswal, Pant, Sundar, Reddy, Akash, Harshit, Jurel,. But for today the day belongs to Sundar and Reddy both saved India from a certain defeat.
The Rishabh Pant of 2020-21 BGT in Australia played much more percentage of conventional shots than these unconventional shots, most importantly the field set dictates what’s the shot that can be played
Gavaskar was not answering live... His answers are pre recorded. During the question his expression is same every time and just before the answer there is a cut... This a fake live chat.
IPL is like playing TDM in BGMI-focused on quick kills and aggression, making you reckless and less cautious. Similarly, IPL habits of hitting boundaries weaken your patience and defense, making it harder to play dot balls in Test cricket, where strategy and restraint are key.
Australia probably use 60 to 70 overs and scores 275 and may give 375 odd runs to chase. They may put us to bat after tea to give them 20 overs to bowl
Pant is not careless he is playing his natural game like today's shewag. He is very big 30cr player in IPL. What bcci, mumbai mafia, Ambani are doing with innocent players why VK removed from odi captain and giving rest for some series, kl dropped from NZ series, dumb Rohit is really fit for test. Rohit is doing politics on Shami. Why new bowlers when Arsadeep, Shami experience bowlers, pujara and rahena still are best top 6 india batters
India need to drop atleast 8 players - most of the senior players lacked fire in their belly and is taking it too lightly post the world cup victory. There are enough reserve players and in fact india has too much of bench reserves who can at any point of time can can play much better. Pant must be put on notice
While I understand the frustration, if that went a few more meters for a six, the commentary would be opposite. After Sam missed similar in first innings and had luck to clear Bhumrah for six similarly, everyone is praising him. You have to provide this license to players like Pant. It may not come off everytime but thats whay makes them feared by opponents that they have a stronger percentage to convert it than the ordinary
Did you noticed that Pant has played in different phase after early wickets (top order collapse Score was 33/3). He put a partnership from there and lost his wicket when score was 121 (Partnership 88 runs). He stayed there for long time and created a partnership and then we lost 6 wickets within 29 runs. We don't know about inside dressing room conversation during the break. He might got a instruction to go for win like GABBA. I think, He went for that shot at that time. He stayed in the crease for long time after Jaiswal. Do you think Jaiswal and pant only playing against Australia or 11 players are playing against them. And Compared to other players in the playing 11, He did his job more than enough from Sep 24 (After his return to test 570+ runs) . We can't comment like this without knowing the truth. Sunil Gavaskar is asking him alone to score and make india win. Sunil Gavaskar is full focus on targeting Pant after he sold for 27cr in IPL Auction. Recent days, We could see that pant is in this situation in lots of time because of top order collapse. How many times you can ask him to recover us from that situation.
Sometimes it feels like Indian players are earning so much from the IPL that they lack the motivation to learn from their mistakes. Look at the hunger Virat Kohli had in his early days. Now that Kohli is getting older, a youngster needs to step up and fill his shoes. Unfortunately, there are very few with that mindset. Only Jaiswal seems to show a glimmer of hope, while Gill and Pant have been consistently disappointing.
Dear Sports Today people I am an experienced Film Editor. I m a regular viewer of ur channel too. I like to hear the discussions Please don't do fake Live Chat. Any seasoned editor will find the mistake. The expression of Gavaskar is same in every question. It's a pre recorded stuff. Please don't do this in future.
Top order batsmen got runs as per their capabilities. Actually they are now distracted their mind from the tour and already started working on advertisements, shifting homes etc etc. All the best for their plans. As per Pant his pant should be tightened at proper place
IPL age parameters causing cricket to deteriorate to baseball level. If Rohit Sharma is first choice test opener ahead of regular talented openers, then by same logic Pant ( in current avtar) becomes v good middle order batsman. and Sam konstas can be modern day Bradman ahead of Sachin Tendulkar. How quickly rot sets in few months? The so called top team has deteriorated to worst. Speaks a lot about think tank and atmosphere and communication level in dressing room..
Same thing happened with you in a game when you deliberately played defensive and cost your team the match in your times. I dont remember the match but i heard stories, even fan confronted you in the pitch
If the No.4 keeps getting out to basic balls on and outside (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and in future 8th, 9th, 10th, etc..) off stump line and can't play spin af home or away and has no other use like bowling or captaincy then why is he stilli in the team ??
Time to read riot act to Indian top order. If you can’t put price on your wicket, there’s the door….It’s match after match that we see the tail saving the day while top order is sitting with hardly in contribution in the dressing room. If the top order could do their job as they are consistently required to do, that would provide an option to go with more genuine wicket taking bowling options
If India has to win..they should trail by 60 runs and Australia should collapse by 150..then so called great batting line up has to chase this little target
Why only rishab ,In addition Rohit needs to be retired. JUst see someone play a half pull for a ball on 7th stump offside. He seemed to forget basic. We are playing test match.
Rishab pant played a stupid shot knowing there are fielders present exactly for those shots. He could have played shots somewhere else . Sunny gavaskar is right
Pant should be dropped and let Rahul wear the gloves and bring Sarfaraz in the middle order.

Sunny ji youre absolutely right! But when will see this anger and frustration when Rohit gets out playing stupid shots? Was his pull shot to a wide delivery justified agaibst new ball?
Sunil Gavaskar is right about Rishabh Pant.
Playing XI for Sydney Test now that Nitesh showed he is a specialist batter talent like Laxman or Dravid at No.5 . and bcoz Gill batting average in last 50 tests is 34. Gill should be dropped for Sydney also.
1. Jaiswal
2. KL Rahul(bcoz he is another Ajikana Rahane who plays well one innings to fail another 10 innings, this will be his final test if he fails in Sydney, KL Rahul needs be dropped if he fails in Sydney)
3. Padikal or Abhinav( Rohit should be dropped without any question if he does not announce retirement after MCG test. His batting average in last 20 innings in just 23)
4. Sarfaraz Khan( Virat should be dropped without any question if he does not announce retirement after MCG Test. His batting average in last 20 innings is just 26)
5. Nitish reddy( Not Rishabh pant bcoz he was never and will never be specialist no. 5 talent to play knock Nitesh or Laxman or Dravid. He is another wicket keeper batsman who can play cameo knock once in a while)
6. Rishab
7. Jadeja
8.Sundar
9. Prasidh(Siraj needs to be dropped permanently bcoz he has only 8 wickets in last 20 innings)
10. Akash or Harshit
11. Bumrah
Captaincy need to be proper.
We cannot place all fielder in the boundary if Aussie come out firing in second innings.
Rohit need to be smart and place 4 players in the boundary, 2 in each side and rest in catching position.
For Konstas, bowl spin from both end.
For Smith , block his scoring zone in leg side and attack off and middle stump.
Whether you like it or not , this method of playing helped Pant to be lot more consistent than the ‘famed’ top order batsmen and helped him win matches for India. Let’s not forget that.
Our new cricket heroes: Jaiswal, Pant, Sundar, Reddy, Akash, Harshit, Jurel,. But for today the day belongs to Sundar and Reddy both saved India from a certain defeat.
The Rishabh Pant of 2020-21 BGT in Australia played much more percentage of conventional shots than these unconventional shots, most importantly the field set dictates what’s the shot that can be played
Nikhil to reddy ko bahar karke proper bowler ko khila raha tha😀
At last a correct judgement about irresponsible pant.
Gavaskar was not answering live... His answers are pre recorded. During the question his expression is same every time and just before the answer there is a cut... This a fake live chat.
Pant is careless but not selfish like some so called legends
Hope the team takes Gavaskar advice
Reverse the batting order.... And India will conquer.... 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
IPL is like playing TDM in BGMI-focused on quick kills and aggression, making you reckless and less cautious. Similarly, IPL habits of hitting boundaries weaken your patience and defense, making it harder to play dot balls in Test cricket, where strategy and restraint are key.
India did well to recover, but they are not yet out of woods....need to bowl and bat well in the 2nd innings
Pant needs to be rested. Druv jurel to be given a chance in next match.
Never heard such harsh word for any mumbai player from him
Gavaskar sir 100% right regarding Rishabh Pant
Gavaskar is right here. But he was over the top in the commentary box.
Bring in Dhruv Jurel, Genunity works better than exuberance in test cricket
Australia probably use 60 to 70 overs and scores 275 and may give 375 odd runs to chase. They may put us to bat after tea to give them 20 overs to bowl
Gavaskar is absolutely right here
Pant is not careless he is playing his natural game like today's shewag. He is very big 30cr player in IPL. What bcci, mumbai mafia, Ambani are doing with innocent players why VK removed from odi captain and giving rest for some series, kl dropped from NZ series, dumb Rohit is really fit for test. Rohit is doing politics on Shami. Why new bowlers when Arsadeep, Shami experience bowlers, pujara and rahena still are best top 6 india batters
India need to drop atleast 8 players - most of the senior players lacked fire in their belly and is taking it too lightly post the world cup victory. There are enough reserve players and in fact india has too much of bench reserves who can at any point of time can can play much better. Pant must be put on notice
Mr Gavaskar you are wrong.
Nitish looked comfortable playing shots or defending..
Forget about who took inspiration from whom..it's team sport
While I understand the frustration, if that went a few more meters for a six, the commentary would be opposite. After Sam missed similar in first innings and had luck to clear Bhumrah for six similarly, everyone is praising him. You have to provide this license to players like Pant. It may not come off everytime but thats whay makes them feared by opponents that they have a stronger percentage to convert it than the ordinary
If he doesn't believe he CAN'T play orthodox shots, then obviously he'd try unorthodox ones right? Wrongly put.
Did you noticed that Pant has played in different phase after early wickets (top order collapse Score was 33/3). He put a partnership from there and lost his wicket when score was 121 (Partnership 88 runs). He stayed there for long time and created a partnership and then we lost 6 wickets within 29 runs. We don't know about inside dressing room conversation during the break. He might got a instruction to go for win like GABBA. I think, He went for that shot at that time. He stayed in the crease for long time after Jaiswal. Do you think Jaiswal and pant only playing against Australia or 11 players are playing against them.
And Compared to other players in the playing 11, He did his job more than enough from Sep 24 (After his return to test 570+ runs) . We can't comment like this without knowing the truth. Sunil Gavaskar is asking him alone to score and make india win.
Sunil Gavaskar is full focus on targeting Pant after he sold for 27cr in IPL Auction.
Recent days, We could see that pant is in this situation in lots of time because of top order collapse. How many times you can ask him to recover us from that situation.
Pant is not only careless but he has lack of dedication and temperament.
Rohit, Rishabh and Siraj need to be replaced by Gill, Jurel and Harshit/Prasidh for Sydney
*Vk also.
Yes agree with you
Since KL Rahul is good behind the stumps, can Pant be replaced with a batsman of VVS or Rahul Dravid type who can patiently stay in the middle?
Hahaha Sunny ji this batting line up can't chase 350 .... Don't live in dream land and already the ball is turning ..
Sometimes it feels like Indian players are earning so much from the IPL that they lack the motivation to learn from their mistakes. Look at the hunger Virat Kohli had in his early days. Now that Kohli is getting older, a youngster needs to step up and fill his shoes. Unfortunately, there are very few with that mindset. Only Jaiswal seems to show a glimmer of hope, while Gill and Pant have been consistently disappointing.
Dear Sports Today people I am an experienced Film Editor.
I m a regular viewer of ur channel too.
I like to hear the discussions
Please don't do fake Live Chat.
Any seasoned editor will find the mistake.
The expression of Gavaskar is same in every question.
It's a pre recorded stuff.
Please don't do this in future.
Jaiswal is the next big thing in Indian cricket after Gavaskar, Tendulkar and Kohli.
These two won the the test match in Australia. In..... But Reddy🎉🎉 🎉🎉 newest alrounder. But there shoult be a wall like Dravid.
Pat should set a target of 380 for india to chase in 3 and half sessions
Konstas was widely praised for taking it on, why not Pant. Support your player. He is a match winner. Sunny is way over the top
Top order batsmen got runs as per their capabilities. Actually they are now distracted their mind from the tour and already started working on advertisements, shifting homes etc etc. All the best for their plans. As per Pant his pant should be tightened at proper place
risabh, rohit, kohli are LIABILITIES
IPL age parameters causing cricket to deteriorate to baseball level. If Rohit Sharma is first choice test opener ahead of regular talented openers, then by same logic Pant ( in current avtar) becomes v good middle order batsman. and Sam konstas can be modern day Bradman ahead of Sachin Tendulkar.
How quickly rot sets in few months? The so called top team has deteriorated to worst. Speaks a lot about think tank and atmosphere and communication level in dressing room..
Playing with straight bat is so important along with some unorthodox shots as well .. unfortunately Rohit plays too much in air
Same thing happened with you in a game when you deliberately played defensive and cost your team the match in your times. I dont remember the match but i heard stories, even fan confronted you in the pitch
If the No.4 keeps getting out to basic balls on and outside (4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and in future 8th, 9th, 10th, etc..) off stump line and can't play spin af home or away and has no other use like bowling or captaincy then why is he stilli in the team ??
What about the captain. In turning pitch against New Zealand he got out to pacers🤣😂
Time to read riot act to Indian top order. If you can’t put price on your wicket, there’s the door….It’s match after match that we see the tail saving the day while top order is sitting with hardly in contribution in the dressing room. If the top order could do their job as they are consistently required to do, that would provide an option to go with more genuine wicket taking bowling options
Sir
Pl also comment on Our Captain
Yes. Legend
I think india needs to bring arshdeep singh if he is fit in the place of jadeja
Arshadeep, khaleel ahmad are best
@Ravikumar-bg2yo khaleel ahmed i don't think better than arshdeep. If there is a little bit swing arshdeep will take main batsman
If India has to win..they should trail by 60 runs and Australia should collapse by 150..then so called great batting line up has to chase this little target
Ek player apno man marzi Kaise kar sakta hai this is total BCCI coach captain sabka failure hai
Rohit will not have courage to throw out RP since he is also not scoring. Why not Sanju Samson is getting his seat in playing 11.
Give me a break 😂😂😂😂 Indian batsman can score runs in Australia it’s time to add new young players to the Indian team.
Bring dhruv jurel in place of pant
Rishab pant mind needs some tunning. Sanju samson should be given a chance in the final test.
😂😂 vo kbhi nhi sudrega match ki seriousness smj nhi aati usko fatkar q nhi lgaty humri management smj nhi aata 🤣.
Aaj bhi wohi kiya usne
every player is retireing except gavaskar, i have been watching you on TV last 40 years 😂
Ppl to be dropped
1. sHitman
2. Kulli
3. Dripping Pants
4.DSP
Why pant and akash deep are even in the team
Why only rishab ,In addition Rohit needs to be retired. JUst see someone play a half pull for a ball on 7th stump offside. He seemed to forget basic. We are playing test match.
Rishab pant is good for PR not for test cricket
If Australia all out under 100 runs, then there is a chance to India to win the match.
Very disappointing the Indian team did not show respect to Dr Manmohan singh by wearing black arm bands
Who is he in my work?
Nitish reddy most strike on day four
Time for all oldies to go and youngstets to occupy.
You guys forgot gabba knock of pant
You can't only recognise one knock, many talented players are in queue . They too deserve the spot.
Even my cousin did well in gully cricket 🏏 10 years ago, get him in the team too
@@mohammadwaseemkhan1644 sure in place of Rohit Kohli 2 egomaniac who are eating the spots
@@AnkuurSodhani sure he will destroy this overrated Australia too these aussies were using sandpaper now effect is gone
Target of 350 is enough for India in the second innings 😂
If he scored good runs after playing these u praise him,at the same time u criticized him if he out in this shot
