CSK has struggled in IPL 2025, losing two of three matches. Jadeja shared a hopeful message after criticism arose over his and Dhoni’s batting approach. CSK faces Delhi Capitals next on April 5.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who was with the CSK for a season in 2021, also indicated that CSK middle-order comprising Deepak Hooda, Shivam Dube, Sam Curran and Mahendra Singh Dhoni might have to shoulder more responsibility.
Saurashtra-based veteran batter Sheldon Jackson has notched up 19 centuries in the history of the Ranji Trophy.
Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara has smashed 320 runs in two matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground as of now.
Former India opener Virender Sehwag managed to score 195 runs vs Australia at MCG in 2003 in the Boxing Day Test.
One of the most significant points of contention has been Gambhir’s unwavering support for Pujara, who has been out of favor since the 2023 World Test Championship final.
India’s run machine Virat Kohli has 227 fours to his name, across 25 matches and 44 innings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Veteran Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara has 5 centuries under his name against Australia in Test cricket.
Cheteshwar Pujara praised Mitchell Starc as Australia's best bowler in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Starc, with 14 wickets, impressed with accuracy and swing.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who played his last match for India recently during the second Test against Australia in Adelaide, finished his career with a total of 765 international wickets from 287 matches.
Even though wickets kept falling, the likes of Rahul and Gill batted with a lot of patience and ended up forging a vital stand for the Indian team.
In absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma in the series opener in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah led from the front, taking a total of 8 wickets in the match - 5 in the first innings and 3 in the second as India registered a dominant win over Australia.
KL Rahul opened the India innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Perth Test in absence of Rohit Sharma. With Rohit back from his paternity break, it will be now interesting to see where Rahul bats in the Adelaide Test.
India’s skipper ended the first day with the figures of 4/17.
India’s star batter Virat Kohli has scored 1979 runs so far while playing in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
