Jasprit Bumrah, the stand-in skipper, on Friday announced that the team has opted to go with four full-time bowlers - himself, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur - and one all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. ,Ashwin, who is the most successful Indian bowler in Tests from the current lot, missing out left social media divided. While some Twitter users came out to criticise the coach Rahul Dravid-led management, some called the off-spinner's exclusion a justified move. ,Also read: Why Jos Buttler is perfect choice for England's white-ball squad captain,Interestingly, when the 35-year-old was not selected for the Indian leg of the series last year, then skipper Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri were slammed. Former England batter Nick Compton said that 'Kohli’s prickly relationship' with the offie had costed the latter his place in the playing 11. ,“I just don’t understand how Kohli’s prickly relationship with Ashwin is allowed to keep him out of Indian teams? Do you think Captains should be allowed such autonomy?” Compton tweeted. Several social media users had a similar view. ,Also read: 'MS Dhoni told me that...': Skipper Bumrah recalls ahead of 5th Test vs England,However, now with Bumrah and Dravid in charge, Ashwin has been benched again. Some tweets were targetted at the critics who had gone after Kohli. ,Where are those people who are continuously trolling Virat and Ravi Shastri for not playing Ashwin???? See this new management team also..... a Twitter user said. ,The holy journos gave their verdict that Kohli-Shastri doesn't like Ashwin... So either Dravid-Bumrah also have developed a dislike for the champion spinner or those journalists don't know a thing and feed on speculations, one more added. ,Some said, Ashwin's exclusion is a huge loss for India. ,Also read: 'Well deserved': Social media reacts to Jos Buttler's white-ball captaincy,Ashwin is far better batsman than shreyas in test, would've played him in place of iyer anyday.

Also Read: Aus vs. NZ series delayed indefinitely as COVID curbs tighten for Kiwis,Heading into Brisbane Test the four-Test series was tied at 1-1, with Australia winning at Adelaide and India bouncing back at Melbourne. India held Australia to draw in the third Test in Sydney. India had never won at the Gabba and Australia had not lost a Test at this venue since 1988. ,But India brought Australia's vanity to the knee by handing them a three-wicket defeat and clinching the Test series 2-1. ,Also Read: 1st ODI: Focus on Kohli as batter aims to surpass Dravid, join Ganguly,Moments before India registered an epic draw in the third Test against Australia at the SCG, skipper Tim Paine threatened India to beat at the Gabba. He was engaged in a verbal duel with Ravichandran Ashwin. Can't wait for you to reach Gabba, Ash (Ravichandran Ashwin), Paine said, thinking that their invincible record at the venue would keep India at bay and Australia would win the series. ,But history was about to be created and India did that by breaking Australia’s unbeaten run at the venue. Paine’s arrogance was ruined by a motivated Indian team, which was missing captain Virat Kohli. But Indian boys were ready to show Australia what they were up to. Also Read: Watch | Pat Cummins stops champagne celebration, calls Usman Khawaja back to enjoy Ashes win,Before the match, India refused to play the fourth Test at Gabba which brought flak towards the Indian team. The injury woes in the Indian ranks only compounded the problems for the visitors as pundits started questioning if Ajinkya Rahane and boys' reluctance to play at the Gabba was indeed due to strict quarantine rules or an attempt to avoid a defeat. ,India’s greatest Test series win,India were missing Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari in the third Test and on the first morning of the final game, it was clear that Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin weren't available. But unheralded Washington Sundar, T Natarajan, and Shardul Thakur showed it is not always about the experience and at times it is also about the urge to punch above the weight. Also Read: KKR compare Ashes 4th Test field with Gautam Gambhir’s ‘T20 master stroke’,Chasing 328 to win in the fourth innings on a Gabba wicket without Kohli needed more than the ability to bat on. As far as cricketing sense goes, one can say, you need a century from at least one batter if you want to chase such a big target. But this Indian team accepted the challenge thrown at them by Paine and showed Australia why they should prevail over them on that occasion. Youngsters' show,Shubman Gill's 91, Rishabh Pant's 89, Cheteshwar Pujara's 56 are some of the notable performances, but Washington Sundar's 22 and Ajinkya Rahane's 24 have the same weight if you look at the context of their innings. In the course of the final innings, Pujara received body blows to keep Australian pacers at check and was termed The Warrior of the Indian team. But the determination he showed after being hit, was one for the ages. Also Read: R Sridhar teases England about Sydney test, says they could use Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari,This Gabba win helped India retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against all odds, and this will definitely go down as one of the greatest Test series win ever recorded in cricketing history. Bundled out for 36 at Adelaide ,The team was bundled out for 36 at Adelaide in the first Test. This loss saw pundits predict a 4-0 whitewash for India. Kohli’s departure citing paternity leave further dented India’s chance, but Rahane was ready to lead India to create history. ,Rahane rose to the challenge and went on to play a match-winning knock at Melbourne as the visitors levelled the series in the second Test. Also Read: Failing with the bat Steve Smith fought for Australia with the ball in the Ashes,Pulled off a historic draw at SCG,After Melbourne Test, came Sydney. For the major part of the Sydney Test, the Indian team found itself on the backfoot and not many gave them a chance of walking away with a draw. During the Sydney Test, the Indian pace duo of Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah also had to endure racial slurs from the Australian crowd, and many believed this might distract the visiting side. However, on the final day, this Indian line-up produced one of the most famous rear-guard actions and the side went away with a scrapping draw. Needing more than 400 runs to win, it was again Pant and Pujara who were at their sublime best. The left-handed Pant hit a quickfire 97 and now if you look at it, who knows what could have happened if he hadn't got out to Nathan Lyon. Also Read: Survival is glory: Internet lauds England for Ashes Sydney Test draw vs Australia,Pujara and Pant departed, but then came out Hanuma Vihari and Ashwin. Batting out 258 balls with a fierce home team throwing everything it had up its sleeves is no mean feat. But the Indian duo of Vihari and Ashwin stood ground and managed to do just that as they eked out a draw at the SCG. Batting out 131 overs -- the most India have batted in the fourth innings of a Test since 1980 -- showed exactly what Ashwin meant when he spoke about playing like true warriors at the end of the fourth day's play at the SCG. A hamstring injury notwithstanding, Vihari hit an unbeaten 161-ball 23 while Ashwin hit 39 off 128 balls as the two defended away any hopes Australia had of registering a win. Post the Sydney Test, Ashwin's wife Prithi revealed that the spin spearhead was tremendous.

His total contribution to the Indian cricket team in the ongoing Freedom Series against South Africa is mere 124 runs in three matches at an average of 20.66. His highest score is 54, which he scored in the Johannesburg Test. He has been under fire for his string of failures since the 2018-19 Australia tour. Also Read: 3rd Test: Pant heroics help India set 212-run target for South Africa,Now, on Friday, against South Africa in a series-deciding third Test, Pujara dropped a sitter offered by Keegan Petersen, who scored 82. Though Petersen was dismissed was by Shardul Thakur in the following over, it was the second time Pujara dropped a catch in South Africa’s fourth innings. Two dropped catches had surely hurt India’s chances in the match. For Pujara, this poor show both as a batter and fielder would surely show him the way to the exit from the Indian team. With youngsters like Hanuma Vihari, who was excluded from the side for the Cape Town Test, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer waiting for more opportunities, Pujara’s chances of playing for India in near future is slim.

And playing his 99th Test on what will also be his daughter's first birthday, the batter in Kohli would like to make it a special one for the 'Captain', who has been under tremendous pressure of late. Also Read: South Africa vs India, 3rd Test: India's predicted XI for Cape Town,Kohli's presence can unsettle Proteas ,Whether he is batting or is in the field, Kohli's presence can always be unsettling for the opposition, which is bound to plan differently for him even if it means that he hasn't got a hundred for two years. Hanuma Vihari might feel hard done after two fighting knocks—especially the 40 not out in the second innings in Johannesburg—but such is the nature of the beast that he would be the sacrificial lamb till Team India regains its faith in Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane's abilities. Also Read: Dean Elgar reveals how he charged up Kagiso Rabada to win Johannesburg Test,However, it will also be about the deliveries that he or some of the others would choose for particular kinds of shots. A case in point is Rishabh Pant, whose walking down the track against express pace in recent months, has had a lot of intent but not much of content. Also Read: Suddenly look a lesser team: Internet reacts to India's loss in 2nd Test vs South Africa,On a Newlands track, which will be juicy with variable bounce, India will need to bat way better against Kagiso Rabada, Duanne Olivier, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen, all of who bring different skills to the table. India have never won a Test in Cape Town and for a change in script, the three middle-order veterans need to do way more than what they did at the Wanderers. Also Read: South Africa vs India, 3rd Test: India's predicted XI for Cape Town,Pujara and Rahane need to show consistency ,Pujara and Rahane, with their respective half-centuries, did get a lifeline but that will certainly not be enough to save their careers unless they do something very big and significant. If getting fifties was a positive sign, not converting good starts into big hundreds definitely was disappointing. Similarly, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal would also like to give the team a good start against the fiery South African line-up. Also Read: Hanuma Vihari deserves similar backing to Ajinkya Rahane: Gautam Gambhir,Ishant set for comeback,Ishant Sharma, like Pujara and Rahane, is at the business end of his chequered international career and Mohammed Siraj's hamstring injury is sure to give him some breathing space after the indifferent last six months during which he lost form, had niggles and didn't good enough to be in the mix for long. Yet, the nature of South African tracks and his over 6 feet frame, with ability to bowl maiden after maiden, makes him a better choice than Umesh Yadav, who is a similar bullish workhorse. But it will be Jasprit Bumrah, who would like to improve his strike-rate which has gone down since he has come back from his back injury. Also Read: Pujara comes out of shell when he is under pressure: Ex-Pak captain,Dean Elgar, Rassie van der Dussen and Temba Bavuma were not perturbed by his mindless short-pitched bowling and the Indian slinger would like to do what he does best, bowl fast and full with deliveries deviating on both sides of the track. That would go a long way in ensuring that they have a great party on Table Top after January 15.

If Rahane has scored a fifty, even Hanuma Vihari remained unbeaten on 40. If Vihari had batted in Rahane's position (in second innings), he might have scored a fifty as well. He has played with control in both innings,” Gambhir said on Star Sports.

You don't just play him in one game, then keep him out for the rest of the year. It is very unfair. We've seen Rahane's performances for a long time now. So, I think that when Virat Kohli comes back in the next Test, he should bat at number 4 with Hanuma Vihari at 5.

Also Read: Rishabh Pant to Rassie van der Dussen: If you have half-knowledge, then keep your mouth shut,Under-fire senior batters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane added a lifeline to their respective careers with crucial half-centuries but South Africa came back strongly in the second Test by bowling out India after the lunch break. ,The match now hangs in balance again after Rishabh Pant's indiscreet shot put India in a spot after Pujara (53 off 86 balls) and Rahane (58 off 78 balls) in a rarely seen counter-attacking mode added 111 runs in just 23.2 overs. Also Read: Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara bat for their cricketing lives,Having understood that time is indeed running out for them, both the batters decided not to try and hang around as they looked for scoring opportunities. The half volleys were driven imperiously and the width was dispatched disdainfully square off the wicket. When Marco Jansen bowled one short, Rahane uncorked the slash over point for a six. Pujara's 50 came off 62 balls while Rahane's half-century was completed in 67, signalling that they were trying to show 'intent' and put the team's interest above everything else. They hit 18 fours and a six between them. Also Read: Watch: Shardul Thakur gives Marco Jansen a taste of his own medicine, a nasty bouncer on chest,There was a time when India were 155 for two with a lead of 128 and it seemed that South Africa's propensity to bowl too short or too full was proving to be damaging. Rabada fired for South Africa ,But then Rabada, South Africa's best exponent of fast bowling since Dale Steyn, produced a piece of inspiration that is so synonymous with the traditional format. Also Read: SA v Ind: Pant fastest Indian wicketkeeper to get 100 Test dismissals,Rabada found that ideal back of length where there is a crack and it landed there to deviate sharply, taking Rahane's edge into keeper Kyle Verreynne's gloves. Pujara then got one from Olivier in the off-stump channel to be plumb despite lunging far forward. Also Read: Shardul Thakur claims seven wickets, best figures by Indian in South Africa,However, the man who disappointed one and all was Pant, who first got a snorter from Rabada that hit his helmet viser when he tried to defend awkwardly and then he charged like a raging bull trying to convert a short ball into half volley. The result was an edge to keeper. ‘Irresponsible batting’,The legendary Sunil Gavaskar called it irresponsible batting and said that no excuse and nonsense of playing natural game can be provided when people like Rahane and Pujara were taking blows for the team. Resuming at 85 for two, India called the shots with Cheteshwar Pujara (53) and Ajinkya Rahane (58) striking half-centuries. Also Read: ICC Test Rankings: KL Rahul makes huge gain; Shami, Bumrah move up,Once they were dismissed by Kagiso Rabada, the Indian innings seemed to have lost momentum with Rishabh Pant falling without opening his account. However, Hanuma Vihari (40 not out) and Shardul Thakur (28) defied the Proteas attack to swell India's overall lead. Pacers Rabada (3/73), Lungi Ngidi (3/43) and Marco Jansen (3/67) shared nine wickets between them. If India manage to defend the total, they will seal their maiden Test series triumph in South Africa. Brief Scores: India: 202 and 266 in 60.1 overs (A Rahane 58, C Pujara 53; K Rabada 3/73, M Jansen 3/67, L Ngidi 3/43).

This was Rahul’s sixth overseas century as India made a near-perfect start to the three-match Test series against South Africa. Putting to bat first, Rahul (122 batting off 248), alongside opener partner Mayank Agarwal (60), set up a strong platform for India with a 117-run stand. ,Also Read: We can win in any condition: Cheteshwar Pujara prepared for South Africa challenge,Virat Kohli fell to a loose shot,Skipper Virat Kohli (35 off 94) fell to a loose shot after doing all the hardwork while under-pressure Cheteshwar Pujara lasted only one ball. Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane (40 batting off 81), who like Pujara is fighting to save his place in the team, were in the middle at the close of play. Rahane looked in a good touch and will be aiming for big score on day two. Barring Lungi Ngidi, who took all the wickets to fall on the day, South Africa pacers were not probing enough in their line and lengths and offered too many loose balls. Rahul displayed his class,The day belonged to Rahul, who showed remarkable resolve and application during his seventh Test hundred. He reached the three-figure mark in England earlier this year and has also scored a hundred in every country he has played in. Just like he had done it in England alongside Rohit Sharma, Rahul played with absolute clarity knowing which balls to leave and which ones to go for his shots. His friend and Karnataka teammate Agarwal also made it easier for Rahul early on by being the aggressor in the partnership. Also Read: SA vs India: Bumrah, Shami on the verge of achieving massive Test feats,In the end, Rahul ended up collecting 16 fours and a six. His innings had all his attractive range of strokes, including the cover drives and his punch shot off the back foot. He got to the 90s with a six off spinner Keshav Maharaj and stayed there for a while before reaching the milestone with a gentle steer off the left-arm bowler through point. He also shared a crucial 82 run stand with Kohli after Ngidi removed Agarwal and Pujara off successive deliveries.

Kohli went for an expansive drive off a very wide ball, something he didn't need to with India in a commanding position. South Africa fought back ,Earlier, South Africa fought back with a couple of wickets in the afternoon session via Ngidi but India still controlled the proceedings by reaching 157 for two at tea. India scored 74 runs in the second session while Ngidi removed Agarwal and Pujara off successive balls to provide the hosts much-needed breakthroughs. Also Read: Front foot defence: Sachin Tendulkar's advice to break South Africa's bowling,Agarwal, who got to his half century after lunch, was dismissed against the run of play. The ball appeared to bounce over the wicket apart from missing the leg stump but the on-field decision was reversed when DRS revealed that it was hitting the wickets, leaving Agarwal in disbelief. Also Read: South Africa vs India Test series: 5 Indian players to watch out for,His fall also ended a memorable partnership, making Rahul and Agarwal only the third Indian opening pair to stitch a century stand in 21 games in South Africa. With the sun coming out, Pujara walked in and was dismissed the first ball, inside edging a defensive shot to Keegan Petersen at short leg. Soon after, Rahul brought up his fifty with a delightful cover drive off Ngidi. In the morning session, Agarwal and Rahul played with the required discipline in testing conditions to take India to 83 for no loss. India won the toss,Kohli made a brave call to bat first on a greenish surface which is expected to get quicker as the game progresses. Agarwal drove Ngidi through point for the first four of the innings. Rahul, who took 21 balls to get off the mark, played an exquisite straight drive off Kagiso Rabada to get going.
