🇦🇺 🇮🇳 The Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Who Will Reign Supreme?👀| Kimber & Dasgupta

[@saurabhb1041]

Jarrod Kimber made the most relevant point - Pujara ran the Aussie bowlers in the ground over the last 2 tours which made the real difference. Pujara essentially played 2000 balls all by himself in the last 2 tours. That’s 350 overs for a single man across 8 tests.

[@rcb_reddit]

Pujara will be missed

[@jaswindersinghnarula4379]

Took words from my mind, absolutely correct! There is no one like Pujara in current batting lineup who can hold one end and frustrate the Aussies. So, I will be amazed if Australia don't win this time.

I'm pretty sure that Cummins, Hazelwood, and Starc are mighty relieved that Pujara is not coming to Australia this time.

The toughest match for India will be the pink ball test. The rest we can win if a good core is performing. Kohli needs to step up along with Rohit and rest of the middle order.

[@nikunjdixit1175]

Imo, 2020-21 was a once in a lifetime type situation. It’s like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Won’t happen like that again. Anytime one of the big three play another in their home conditions, they would be favorites. I think the schedule helps Aus considerably, having Perth, Pink Ball Adelaide, and Gabba in the first three tests, giving them the opportunity to be 3-0 or 2-1 by the time they get to MCG. Sydney is always a high chance of a draw. Ind vs Aus has drawn in Sydney the last 3 times, with rain playing a factor. MCG is a recent India favorite.

[@--Anurag--]

One other thing to note is that if both teams are interested in rotating the bowlers because it is 5 match series - Pat Cummins being a fast bower and captain will have to play all 5 matches. He is pretty fit but he will be pretty tired by the back end. Unless they leave out the designated captain in a match.

They will bowl slightly far way from off stump or attack him through bouncers keeping fielders at boundary lines at leg side and third man . That it .

Last series Indian batting rarely fired. There were 90s, 50s, 60s mostly. The batting order was not even fixed. This year we have better Batting order for sure. Rahane's one match heroics can be replicated by KLR but Pujara will definitely be a miss. Bumrah has been better since 2021. Probably in his prime now. Shami's fitness is a concern but Siraj has only improved. Akashdeep has impressed aa well. We need proper replacement for Shardul Thakur. He was really critical in that series. A good number 8 on seam friendly pitches is crucial. I think Akashdeep can do that but we are not fully aware about his batting abilities.

The issue India will face this time around though is absence of a stubborn wall like a Pujara who can eat 30 overs and tire bowlers out..Bowling looks sorted but the challenge is bounce..Jaiswal as much as promising and praised struggles with steep bounce...most Indian batters do...and from 2022 onwards, Kohli's test returns have been mediocre at best...as if he has lost his mojo in red ball cricket...so adjusting to Aussie bounce will be the key to success, batsmen like Rohit in tests, Jaiswal, Sarfaraz, Ashwin, Kohli also struggle with rising ball...only batters who like this spongy bounce and seem to be comfortable have been Gill, Rahul, Jadeja (we so so underestimate Jadeja's batsmanship in tests in bouncy fast paced tracks like Australia, New Zealand)..and somewhat X factor but often maverick batting by Pant...Rahul has a big role to play, but his struggles are weird - it isnt he struggles with technique or skills, its the undue pressure he takes and demons inside his head that make him overthink...he needs to let go, he will score...he is someone who can absorb pressure along with a Jaiswal or a Jadeja...

Batting: India (slight edge) Bowling: Even Conditions: Australia Result?

[@rom-yr7ob]

Pujra was main hero winning india in aus in 2018,2021 and in india 2017. Rohit and virat alone cant do it .

[@saptakdas7625]

Guys, why don't u do this on spotify too.

[@SUDHANSHUkumar-qr7qm]

I dont know if hardik wants to play test anymore or not .... But if hardik can play you get a guy bowling at 140 and batting in top 6 that changes the whole game ..... If hardik is not playing i would say aus a bit more favourite cause ofcourse home conditions .... But even those home conditions are so well balances that they even favour india ....mcg sydney adelaid good pitches balaced bounce spin comes into play as well ... whereas brisbane and optus are tennis ball bounce pitches ... it would be amazing to watch

[@jerinphilipose614]

Indias BGT chances depends on how their premium fast bowlers dealing Travis Head.Batting depends on how Jaiswal dealing with Aussie pacers. We all know what happened to Prithvi Shaw in similar hype..

[@riteshpathak6588]

well jaiswal more technical player then shaw and his hunger is the massive difference..... yes it can be make or break series for him nd let's hope he does great

[@ashishsharma8040]

One thing I don’t like about Indian media representatives they said different styles of captain ship and Deep dasgupta ranting about Rohit personality ..

[@gardenervibe]

Great Performance is never luck . It takes a lot of focus and hard work.

[@seanmcbride1]

The amont of nonsense both Jarrod and Deep Das spewed in this half hour video is enough to explain why Talksport are the worst at talking sports, I thought their Football coverage was pathetic but this right here takes the cake. Jarrod: India were lucky last time, lucky how? They lost half their team, and were replaced by players barely making a start to their international careers. If India wins they were lucky, so two back to back tour series wins is down to them being lucky and has nothing to do with them showing fight or playing the better Cricket, and this guy is supposed to be a top Cricket journalist. Then Das Gupta says India's top six don't bowl, yes because their job is to bat in case you didn't notice, this is an example of just because somebody has played professional Cricket it doesn't necessarily make them an expert Cricket analyzer. As for Shami's absence wait and watch Akashdeep, this will be about India's bowlers and Australia's ability to handle them, I don't think Australia have the batting to tackle India's bowling, if India stick to their job professionally then they will win the series.

[@Sid-e5y]

India has a bit of an upper hand statistically speaking,but certain intangibles are there,but logically speaking india probably wins

[@tanmaymishra2599]

Best playing 11 for BGT : Rohit Sharma (C) Yashasvi Jaiswal Shubman Gill Virat Kohli Rishabh Pant (WK) Hardik Pandya Ravindra Jadeja Ravichandran Ashwin Mohammed Shami Jasprit Bumrah Mohammed Siraj / Yash Dayal

[@mragunathan1627]

Pandya unavailable for tests bhai. They shouldnt pick him for t20's and ODI's as well.

[@Evil_Clown-eh6jz]

Very nice to see an Indian person on the panel speaking candidly and objectively. And not being a BCCI-shill!

[@rohitchavan4001]

It is the batting which will tank India’s chances to make it a hattrick of wins in Australia.

[@buntysingh3166]

Do not belittle the 2018 win . It was a full strength Australian bowling attack and younger. Indian batting overseas had historically been the problem. This Aussie attack was tamed and defanged by Indian batsmen in 2018-19.They probably would have won Sydney test by innings if the train had not intervened. This Australian test team is very vulnerable right now. Except other than Travis Head this Aussiie batting is waiting to be had.

[@anshulpunetha3080]

Have a feeling that this panel might be looking at a very surprising result in Jan 2025.

[@atiyasamreen16]

I don't understand why everyone is considering Australia as the favorites when they haven't won a test series since 2015. I understand both teams are equally poised and Australia can defeat India if they play their best cricket but its not like Australian has an advantage. Australian batting is the main issue and Indian bowlers can match their bowling so India has an edge.

[@keshavchandrasekar8605]

watching this video after seeing the news that Cam Green will not be playing might be a huge differential for India

[@legendkiller4481]

Sarfaraz should play pujara sort of innings, he can, or even Kl rahul can

[@gardenervibe]

Allrounder ( Biggest game changer)jis team ki better performance karega wo team win karga, Either , ye aus or india

[@GhanishthAhuja]

Batting is a issue, the absence of pujara is the biggest loss. Shami being fit in time woupd be great though. But they somehow need tof it ashwin in the 11.

[@nastybadger-tn4kl]

For india to fight Washington sundar should play 7th spot he should come after pant.

[@Ricky-w4r1d]

I willbe suprised if hardik not get picked in aus tour,Atleast for 2 test matches he should be included in playing 11

[@rapatel1642]

India will win. They mindset has changed, their setup has improved overtime.

[@badrinathlakshminarayanan5165]

Who are those top order batters who have started to bowl in the test team?

[@saisandeep8741]

If india managed to get have shami fit and hardik somehow ,it will be a great series

[@nikhilwaghmare7183]

It will end as 2-2. Mark my words.....

[@atorbGk]

India must use Bumrah, Shami,Mayank , Ashwin and jadeja. Batters - Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill, Virat, Rishab and Rahul.

[@bthebigdogg]

BGT decides the India and Australia - WTC final chances - BGT- Battle of Gangsters

[@sagoKarthik1980]

We are going to miss Pujara. I think we will lose without him. No one as technically as sound as him in the Indian batting side - my guess.

[@adbdorg]

Is he nuts ? India got out on 36 and ozs were unlucky?

[@dimejoe2621]

If retaining BGT for the 3rd time was because of luck than I would gladly like to have the same luck😂 Australia played hard as they are known for but also were overconfident in the series hence sloppiness and the result is wide open✌🏻

[@Jixy-v4w]

I think this time Indian bowling will struggle against some of the aggressive Aussie middle order batsman. Siraj is a concern as he just gets carried away and leaks too many runs. Also Shami will be rusty and slow starter. 4-0 Australia is the best result I am thinking as this Aussie side looks well balanced and hungry under Pat Cummins.

[@shreyasranjit254]

Siraj bowled brilliantly in the bangladesh match recently, he has improved his line and length. He has definitely improved

[@sarbjeetsingh-rg4st]

India won twice bcoz they took care of lyon & starc, both of them averaged in mid30s. On the other hand Indian spinners outplayed aussie batters completely. In rest of the departments there wasn't much difference in both the teams.

[@ashishnair12]

Teams go to Australia preparing for Starc, Hazlewood & Cummins but it's Lyon who does the damage. If you neutralize him, the captain has no where to go & has to bring the pacers back which will get them tired & ineffective. Also I feel that if we were to win, our batters need to score 300+ scores at least. But having said that our batters would find Australia a little bit better to bat on than England, SA or NZ because pace & bounce is not a worry for them.
