Team India clinched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy once again by registering a 2-1 win over Australia in the recently concluded Test series. The series was full of positives for the Rohit Sharma-led side, with players like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin giving all-round performances and bagging the joint Player of the Tournament award. But, it was young batter Shubman Gill who stole the limelight with his impressive display. Replacing KL Rahul in the Playing XI, Gill smashed his second Test ton during the fourth match, proving himself as a valuable asset to the team. As the teams gear up for the final of the World Test Championship, all eyes are on the ideal opening pair for Team India. This series victory provides a boost of confidence to the team, and they will be looking to continue their winning momentum in the upcoming championship.
Sourav Ganguly, the former captain of the Indian cricket team, had high praise for 23-year-old Shubman Gill. The young batter gave an impressive performance in the recent India vs. Australia match, scoring a century that cemented India’s victory. Ganguly stated that Gill has “done enough to be a permanent player” on the Indian team, and it’s hard to argue with that assessment. Gill has shone brightly in the last six to seven months, and his place in the side seems secure for the near future. Ganguly’s comments reflect the jubilation felt across India as the team continues to perform well and claim victories both at home and abroad. Besides to praising Gill, Ganguly highlighted the formidable spin trio of Jadeja, Ashwin, and Axar Patel as “India’s strength.” With talent like this on the field, it’s no wonder that India is becoming a dominant force in the cricketing world.
Former BCCI president has spoken highly of India’s trio of spinners, Ashwin, Jadeja, and Axar Patel. While Ashwin and Jadeja have been lauded for their prowess with both the bat and the ball, the former BCCI president argues that Axar Patel quietly does a good job lower down the order when he gets to bat and bowls well whenever he gets to bowl. India’s strength undoubtedly lies in their spin bowling attack and the former president is confident of their tremendous potential. Despite losing the third Test to Australia, India secured their place in the final of the World Test Championship, which is set to take place in June.
