India (150 & 487/6d) beat Australia (104 & 238) by 295 runs in the 1st Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25

Next test is a pink ball test at Adelaide. Team will be :-

Rohit
Jaiswal
Gill
Kohli
Pant(wk)
KL
Sundar
Reddy
H Rana
Bumrah
Siraj/Shami
 
KOhli on 40*, That nice to see...

Padikkal has wasted his chance... Gill will take his place now. Hopefully Rohit spends more time with his family. :therethere

Hasn’t he already taken flight to Australia I heard somewhere

I think after this opening stand it would be catastrophic to break it apart.

Let’s stick with Rahul and Jaswal now no matter what.

Gill and Rohit to go in the middle order
 
Still a good session for India

Day 3: Tea Break - India lead by 405 runs

AUS 104
IND 150 & 359/5 (110) CRR: 3.26
 
405/5 at Tea - 37 overs left for the day . Would love to see Ind bowl 8-9 overs today .
 
Some stats on this ground

  • 4 tests played here before this game and all won by team batted first
  • All 4 tests were won by Aus batting first
  • Most runs scored in 4th innings was 322 by WI
  • Lowest 4th innings total is 89 by Pakistan

Thing to note, Australia never batted last here so we don't know how much a team can chase. If WI can score 322, surely Australia will score more.

So India must aim to add 80-90 runs more to absolutely seal the deal.

Looks like it.
We are just a couple of wickets away from the tail anyway.

450 target 🎯
Let’s get a couple of Aussies out tonight
 
Lead over 400 now. We've pretty much sealed the game but as @Bhaijaan and a couple of others reminded me, we've got 4 games to play after this so we need to continue to grind them in to the dust in this 35 degree heat.
Yep. It's not about the lead. Need to aim to bat 2 more sessions. 5 sessions is enough to bowl Australia out.

If they can chase 400 they can chase 500 also and if they do that credit to them.

But Bharat will most likely go for a shot at the Aussie top order tonight with the new ball
 
Gill and Rohit to go in the middle order
Middle order doesn't suits for slogging ur way out.Rohit should excel or leave.same goes for any one on the team.Their inability should not change the team combination and mess up the team

Just wait and watch

Rohit will walk right in. Timid bcci won't touch them.

Gill the 'model' who supposedly has a fan following amongst girls will get the nod too.

Too ambitious and unrealistic for you to expect dropping the captain.

Jurel and padikkal can be dropped. They are not better than above 2
 
But I was told Lyon has a great record in Perth and he is the goat offspinner by a street sweeper ?

And that ashwin is a fraud. Hmmm

Rohit will walk in like a king for sure even though he should not be.Gill will.be under pressure aa padikkal shown better technique than him.Jaiswal century will also put pressure on Gill as the junior is much better .Padikkal issue is like pujara's strike rotation.
 
Strange decision to send Washington to bat ahead of the in-form Reddy. I hope Bumrah has not had a Rohit Sharma style brain fade.
 
Yeah bhai but atleast everyone knows he will leave after this series.Kolhli should also leave irrespective of his runs.

Rohit and Virat will both play all the tests they can possibly play in this series and depending on how they perform a decision could be taken about their future. But that’s after this series.
 
Seeing Lyon getting all that spin from the rough makes makes one wonder how well Ashwin could have bowled here. We continue to disrespect him like this.

Don't think Padikkal poses any threat to Gill just yet. He hasn't done anything great even on a batting friendly pitch. Gill and Rohit will replace Padikkal and Jurel in the next test.
 
Lineup for the next test most likely to be

Jaiswal
Sharma (c)
Gill
Kohli
KL Rahul
Pant (wk)
Reddy
Sundar
Bumrah
Rana/Shami
Siraj
 
Well done champ..... Virat is such a gritty personality, never underestimate these humans, they tend to play more than their capabilities.
 
Damn this outfield is so heavy,
So many great shots but the r batters are having to run 3s instead of well deserved boundaries. You need a LOT of fitness to excel in Australia man, no wonder whoever does well here usually
Has a great career. Australia tests you like no other nation

It's not about threat but it's about a comparison or pointer.If an young replacement of u played the game with much better temperament and technique, it will drive any one crazy

Century for Starc, applause!

Can Cummins get the landmark?

Hazelwood too slow and no chance.

True, but the seniority-obsessed Indian management will not play Padikkal ahead of Gill, whatever his technique may be.
 
What are you talking about? Gill has scored a match winning knock in australia in his first tour .

Gill average is 55 in australia .he is currently one the best Indian player for Australian conditions .

Gill place is secured and once he is Fully fit ,will back in the playing eleven .

Aussies are absolutely hating being there. Bharat is breaking their spirit. :yk
 
There doesn’t seem to be any sense of hurry in Washington or Kohli. Maybe they’re not interested in declaring today.
 
they want to bury Australia

They’re understanding the dynamics of the 5 test series. It’s a long battle and you have to break the spirit of your opponent. You never know if we get such a golden opportunity in the next test. Make them suffer as much as possible now that we are on top.
 
Bumrah being a bowling captain wants to break Cummins, Starc.
 
Next test Boland will play instead of Starc.

I think Indian batsman will have hard time against a Starc-less Australian pace attack especially in Pink ball test.
 
Brother Starc bowls faster than rookie Harshit Rana but also travels faster than him :starc :inti

Starcy has better number than any other bowlers in the pink ball test . No way they will dropped him .

That earlier version of gill has much more tight technique than this current version.once he tried to bazballl approach at kkr,all kind of clink in the armour cropped up.Both wtc finals in eng,spin playing ability and getting lbw all kind of issues were hunting him. He fixed his issues and scored heavily against eng on tough pitches.He went back to his issues in nz series.so it's interesting to see how he will come up again in aus.

He bowls a lot of hit me deliveries. Bowls too full perhaps. Not have a control like Hazelwood, Boland or Cummins.

No I mean Gill is going to play for sure but he will be aware of the waiting list and players skillset in that.

Check gill test number or century in this year.

Gill is least problem at this moments .he will score plenty of runs in this series once he is fully fit

It's true for sure. I hope he comes good as we are already carrying a lot of passengers and unknown ,undependable
cases
 
Lol india already has australia on their knees.
This tour is very long. Australia is gonna beg for mercy it seems like. LOL
 
India’s spiritual father Travis Head can chase anything. Don’t get too comfortable.
