Ravichandran Ashwin describes Ravindra Jadeja's anguish after getting out cheaply in the final Test: "I saw him sit in one place for an hour."

 


Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja played a crucial role in India's Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win against Australia. The spin duo's impressive performance in the first two Tests helped India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Despite losing the third Test in Indore, India managed to clinch the series after the fourth and final Test ended in a draw.

Speaking to broadcasters after the final Test, Ashwin praised Jadeja, stating that playing together has made them both better players. He acknowledged that they started their journey a long time ago but they wouldn't be as lethal without each other.

Ashwin also credited Jadeja for giving him the freedom to be creative with the ball and commended his bowling in the Delhi Test. The veteran spinner added that he saw Jadeja upset after getting out on 28 in India's first innings during the final Test, which showed how disappointed he was.

Despite losing the third Test, Ashwin and Jadeja's exceptional performance in the series helped India clinch their first Test series win in Australia in 71 years.

Ravindra Jadeja has expressed his delight in bowling alongside Ravichandran Ashwin in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. Jadeja credited Ashwin for passing on information such as field placement and how to bowl to a particular batsman. Despite his good performance with the ball, Jadeja admitted to being unhappy with his batting in the series and vowed to work on it. The final Test ended in a draw, and Ashwin and Jadeja were named joint Players of the Series for their outstanding performances throughout the series. Ashwin picked up 25 wickets and scored 86 runs, while Jadeja picked up 22 wickets and scored 135 runs.

It is really disheartening to play only 5 Tests a year; maybe, we will play more games this year: Mathews, Angelo

  Angelo Mathews, the former captain of Sri Lanka, has expressed his disappointment regarding the lack of Test matches played by the national team. He stated that the insufficient number of Tests being played will not be beneficial for Sri Lanka in the long run. Mathews highlighted his concern about Sri Lanka playing a Test match after a gap of more than six months, as it makes it difficult for the players to get accustomed to a particular routine before preparing for any series. During the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch, Mathews scored 47 runs and surpassed the 7,000-run mark in Tests. After the game, he expressed his desire for the national side to have more opportunities to play Test matches in the future. Sri Lanka still has a chance to reach the World Test Championship final, with Australia being the only team that has already qualified. The chances for India depend on the outcome of the ongoing fourth and final Test taking place in Ahmedabad against Australia ...

Shaheen Afridi hints support for enduring an onslaught captain Babar Azam with mysterious post

  Pakistan's all-format captain Babar Azam has been rested from the T20I squad for the series against Afghanistan to manage his workload. Reports had suggested that Shaheen Afridi might lead the side in Babar's absence, but the left-arm pacer was also rested along with Babar. Shaheen posted a cryptic tweet backing Babar, amid the debate on his captaincy's impact on his personal form.
