India begins a two-match Test series against South Africa in Kolkata, confronting a potent spin attack. Focus will be on batting application and patience to overcome last year’s home collapse against New Zealand.

India Prepares for Challenging Test Series Against South Africa

India vs South Africa: Test Series Challenge

India begins a two-match Test series against South Africa in Kolkata, confronting a potent spin attack. Focus will be on batting application and patience to overcome last year&rsquo;s home collapse against New Zealand.

India's awe-inspiring batting depth will face a stern test against South Africa's quality spin attack when the reasonably well-matched sides clash in an eagerly-anticipated two-match Test series beginning in Kolkata on Friday.
India would be haunted by the ghosts of last year's home debacle against New Zealand when their home record was shattered by Kiwi spinners Ajaz Patel, Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips, who shared 36 wickets across three Tests, fashioning an unprecedented 0-3 whitewash.
Given South Africa's heavy reliance on tweakers right now, that collapse against sustained spin pressure will linger in the collective memory of the home side. The reigning World Test champions are known for fiery pacers historically but are currently armed with one of the most potent spin groups in world cricket.
The Proteas arrive on the back of a morale-boosting 1-1 draw in Pakistan, achieved without inspirational captain Temba Bavuma. South Africa's spin trio of Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer and Senuran Muthusamy accounted for 35 of the 39 wickets to fall across the series, outperforming Pakistan&rsquo;s own slow-bowling contingent of Noman Ali, Sajid Khan and Salman Agha, who managed 21 wickets collectively.
It was little wonder then that India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate called the rival bowling line-up a "subcontinent-style attack". "They have got four spinners at their disposal, and most likely they will play three. It's a little bit like playing against a subcontinent team," he said. "We've addressed that early on. Hopefully, we've learned from the New Zealand series."
Simon Harmer, now 36 and holder of 1,000 first-class wickets, is no stranger to Indian conditions. As a 26-year-old on the 2015 tour under Hashim Amla, he featured in two Tests &mdash; in Mohali and Nagpur &mdash; and claimed prized scalps such as Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma and Wriddhiman Saha, all known for their spin-playing prowess.
A decade later, Harmer remains as wily. He arrives in Kolkata after an eight-wicket match haul in Rawalpindi last month that spun South Africa to a series-levelling win over Pakistan. His control, drift, and subtle changes of pace make him an ideal foil for the left-arm spin of Maharaj, who is arguably one of the most accurate and attacking spinners in the modern game.
The Eden Gardens pitch has therefore become the most-watched element of this contest. While India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and captain Shubman Gill have made multiple pitch inspections, Cricket Association of Bengal president Sourav Ganguly has assured that it "won't be a rank-turner".
That will please Jasprit Bumrah, who could be India's trump card on a surface that historically gives early movement and late reverse swing. India would look to go with two pacers and it appears that Akash Deep, the local 'boy', will have the edge with his knowledge of the conditions.
Over the last 15 years, pacers have taken 61 per cent (97 of 159 wickets) in Tests here as seam and swing play a major role, especially in the early and closing stages.
While a young Indian side under Shubman Gill's debut captaincy drew 2-2 in England this summer, showing resilience and adaptability in seaming conditions, it is the New Zealand debacle at home that continues to rankle. The subsequent 2-0 win against a weak West Indies side in this WTC cycle did little to test India's revival.
For India, the focus will be on application and patience against spin. With Rishabh Pant fit again and an in-form Dhruv Jurel set to play as a specialist batter, the middle order looks more stable. Washington Sundar, who topped India's spin charts in that New Zealand series with 16 wickets, provides drift and bounce and lends depth with the bat.
Ten Doeschate underlined the mental readiness required after a gruelling multi-format schedule. "You've got to switch on mentally and be ready for 16&ndash;17 days of really tough work. The body will take care of itself &mdash; the mind has to be ready."
Given it's only a two-match series, the margin for error is slim. Falling behind early could prove fatal especially with unfamiliar conditions set to play their part in the final Test in Guwahati, which will make its debut as a Test venue.
For India, batting big and putting the opposition under scoreboard pressure will be the key to exorcising the ghosts of last year's collapse.
Teams: India: Shubman Gill (Capt), KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharsan, Rishabh Pant (WK and VC), Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Devdutt Padikkal.
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (Capt), Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne, Dewald Brevis, Zubayr Hamza, Tony de Zorzi, Corbin Bosch, Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Senuran Muthusamy, Kagiso Rabada, Simon Harmer.
Match starts: 9.30am.

India reached 98 for two at lunch on Day 1 against England. Jaiswal's aggressive approach stood out, building a strong partnership with Nair before his dismissal. Despite challenging conditions, India's strategic lineup adjustments sparked discussions.

India vs England Second Test Lunch Score

On the opening day at Edgbaston, Yashasvi Jaiswal showed formidable intent with the bat as India reached 98/2 against England. Karun Nair supported with a solid partnership before lunch. India's altered lineup, favoring batting depth, sparked considerable analysis.

Yashasvi Jaiswal stood out with aggressive intent as India reached 98/2 vs England on the first day of the second Test.

Yashasvi Jaiswal maintained his aggression despite being tested by the England pacers while Karun Nair showed promise at number three before being dismissed late in the session as India reached 98 for two at lunch on day one of the second Test here on Wednesday.
Considering the overhead conditions, Stokes opted to bowl but Jaiswal and Nair did well to survive the tough period. In the first hour, KL Rahul (2 off 26), played on to the stumps off a Chris Woakes delivery before Jaiswal-Nair duo added 80 for the second wicket.
Brydon Carse got one to rise sharply minutes before lunch, inducing an outside edge off Nair's bat that went to Harry Brook at second slip.
There was not a lot of swing but the ball seamed a fair bit in the first hour of play. Carse targeted Jaiswal&rsquo;s rib cage often but the southpaw was unscathed.
Jaiswal began with a couple of cover drives off Carse, who purposely bowled full to the batter and mixed it up an odd short ball into the body. Besides the flowing drives, the southpaw also played the pull and a slap over backward point off Ben Stokes.
Nair, moved up three places in the batting order from the last game, was offered plenty of full balls from the England pacers and he duly obliged by driving it through the cover and straight boundary.
Before toss, the boundary ropes being brought in significantly caught the eye of many at Edgbaston. With premier match winner Jasprit Bumrah rested from the game, India brought in Akash Deep in his place while making two interesting changes, leaving out Sai Sudharsan for Washington Sundar and replacing Shardul Thakur with Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Kuldeep Yadav was once again ignored as India picked a second spinner in batting all-rounder Washington. For a team that struggled to take 20 wickets at Leeds, the decision to shore up the batting was debatable.&nbsp;

Yashasvi Jaiswal's century and Shubman Gill's 50 steer India to a strong position against England on Day 1 of the first Test. Their partnership helped India reach 215/2, with England's bowlers struggling to maintain consistency.

Jaiswal scores a century, India dominates England on Day 1

Yashasvi Jaiswal's determined century and Shubman Gill's elegant fifty propelled India to 215/2 against England at tea. The duo's styles, an unbroken stand of 123 runs, and controlled play set the tone, with England's bowlers battling inconsistency.

Jaiswal and Gill led India's strong start against England with contrasting innings. Their partnership and Jaiswal's century, Gill's fifty, put India at 215/2. England's struggles on a benign pitch highlighted India's dominance.

Yashasvi Jaiswal made a characterful hundred and skipper Shubman Gill crafted a graceful fifty as India punished a lacklustre England to reach a formidable 215 for two at tea on the first day of the opening Test of the five-match series here on Friday.
They were as different as chalk and cheese, but both Gill (58 not out) and Jaiswal (100 not out) found immense success with their respective methods during an unbroken 123-run alliance for the third wicket.
Jaiswal brought up his 5th hundred in Test cricket off 144 balls and Gill his eighth half-century off 56 deliveries in his first outing as India Test captain, underlining the different route they travelled on the day.
England might see this innings as an ominous early sign from Jaiswal that he might just replicate that 712-run series against them in India last year.
It was not a typical Jaiswal innings where he simply flayed the bowlers around, but he showed admirable self-restraint, particularly outside the off-stump.
The left-hander was dismissed in that channel a couple of times while playing for India A against the England Lions in the recent tour matches, but here the 23-year-old did not repeat his mistakes.
He was also copiously assisted by the England bowlers, who struggled to discover the right line and length on a flaccid track. Their profligacy meant that the Indian batters received ample scoring opportunities.
Even amidst his restrained avatar, Jaiswal brought some cracking shots off the shelf such as a crisp off-drive off pacer Josh Tongue or a carved six off the same bowler.
Gill, on the other hand, did not waver much from his normal batting doctrine, playing shots with minimum follow-through through on-side and with a flourish on the off-side.
The 25-year-old's languid grace wowed the crowd when he essayed an off-drive off Chris Woakes and followed it up with a dreamy clip off the pads for a four as currently England's second most experienced bowler went for nearly five runs an over across the first two sessions.
Jaiswal soon fetched his hundred with a scampered single off Brydon Carse, after hammering him for successive boundaries through point and cover, and celebrated with a roar and leap into the air.
Earlier, openers KL Rahul (42) and Jaiswal helped India make a confident start to a long tour, stitching together 91 runs that enabled India to blunt the England new ball attack on a largely sunny day, but not without its own share of assistance for bowlers in the shape of movement and carry.
But not tough enough for the Indian batters to negotiate.
Jaiswal began the morning with a gorgeous drive through mid-off off Woakes, and Rahul played a series of exquisite drives through covers off Carse and Tongue as the first session produced an astounding 16 fours.
Rahul, who got his opening slot back after the retirement of Rohit Sharma, was his usual sturdy self, showing fine judgment and technical nous, until he fatally decided to play a loose drive off Carse for Joe Root to take a catch at slip.
Root (209) is now just one catch away from equalling former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid's record of 210 catches in Test cricket.
Debutant B Sai Sudharsan lasted all but four balls returning to the pavilion without opening his account but those were just minor irritants on an otherwise impeccable day.

Ajinkya Rahane supports Yashasvi Jaiswal's role in India's England Test series, highlights key players like Bumrah and Siraj. Rahane also endorses Shubman Gill's leadership in the Test format.

Ajinkya Rahane supports Yashasvi Jaiswal's role in India's Test series in England. He highlights Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj's pivotal bowling roles, and endorses Shubman Gill’s leadership capabilities.

Ajinkya Rahane supports Yashasvi Jaiswal for the England Test tour, emphasizing his opener role. He lauds bowlers Bumrah and Siraj's contributions.

Month after rumours about a rift between them dominated headlines, out-of-favour India batter Ajinkya Rahane is backing the flamboyant Yashasvi Jaiswal to shine on the tour of England thanks to his ability to perform multiple roles as opener.
The five-match Tests series begins at the Headingley from Friday.
"Personally, I'm really looking forward to seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal do well because opening the batting in England is really important," Rahane said in a video on his YouTube channel.
"He has the game for it &mdash; he can control one end and also go on the attack when needed. So I'm really looking forward to seeing Jaiswal perform in England." There were reports in April that Mumbai teammates Jaiswal and Rahane had a fall out during the last Ranji Trophy season after the side's defeat to Jammu and Kashmir.
While Rahane last played for India two years ago against the West Indies, Jaiswal has been the team's first-choice opener since making his Test debut in the Caribbean in July 2023.
Rahane, who led an injury-plagued Indian team to a memorable Test series win in Australia in 2020-21, has also placed his bets on lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah to live up to his expectations with Mohammed Siraj too chipping in with plenty of wickets.
"I also want to see Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah do well because, as senior campaigners, they have the responsibility to lead the attack and pick up wickets for the team," Rahane said.
"We all know Bumrah is an excellent bowler and a proven wicket-taker, but I'd like to see him take that extra responsibility and help the team get through challenging situations, because winning a Test series in England is always very special." The last time India won a Test rubber in England was way back in 2007, only the third such instance (after 1971 and 1986) in that part of the world since start of bilateral engagements in 1932.
Shubman Gill will lead the Indian team in England and Rahane said the young skipper will live up to the challenge of making the transition from T20 captaincy to Test leadership.
"I think it's going to be a challenging task for Shubman because in Test cricket I always believe you have to be proactive as a captain. I'm sure Shubman will do well, but it will take time because captaining in T20s and ODIs is completely different.
"In the Test format, sometimes you have to stay one or two steps ahead of your opponents, talk to your bowlers, and plan things with them. So, it's going to be a challenging task for him, but I&rsquo;m sure he will do well as both a skipper and a batter," Rahane said in the video.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has announced his move from Mumbai to Goa, igniting speculation of instability within the Mumbai team.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Transfer Sparks Speculation

Promising cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal's transfer from Mumbai to Goa has stirred speculations of unrest within the Mumbai cricket team. With jokes and dismissals from peers like Suryakumar Yadav, the reality remains as Jaiswal joins players like Arjun Tendulkar who've made similar moves.

Suryakumar denies coup claims after Jaiswal exit

Cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal shifts from Mumbai to Goa, generating speculation of unrest.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has announced his decision to transfer from Mumbai to Goa, citing personal reasons. This move signifies a major shift for the left-handed batsman, who has built his burgeoning international career with the support of the Mumbai cricketing establishment. Jaiswal's departure was officially communicated to the Mumbai Cricket Association in a letter sent on Tuesday, and the governing body promptly respected his wishes.
On the heels of this news, speculation has emerged regarding potential unrest within the Mumbai cricket team. Reports suggest a "coup" might be brewing and indicate a "possibility" of Suryakumar Yadav also contemplating a switch. However, sources close to Yadav have dismissed these rumors. Adding a humorous twist, Yadav shared a post on X featuring a report with the caption alleging his involvement in influencing other players' decisions to move. He jokingly responded, "Script writer or journalist? If I need a laugh, I&rsquo;ll stop watching comedy movies and start reading these articles. Complete nonsense."
Jaiswal joins Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad as the latest Mumbai cricketers to transition to Goa. Tendulkar and Lad made similar moves before the 2022-23 season. Jaiswal's most recent appearance for Mumbai was in a Ranji Trophy Group A league match against Jammu and Kashmir, held from January 23 to 25, following BCCI's directive requiring national players to engage in domestic cricket when not on international duty.
In that match, both Jaiswal and India captain Rohit Sharma returned to domestic competition, with Jaiswal scoring 4 and 26. Despite their presence, Mumbai suffered a five-wicket loss to Jammu and Kashmir, marking only the second such defeat in the tournament's history.
Jaiswal's journey, far from smooth, is a testament to his resilience and dedication. Originally from Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, he moved to Mumbai at 12 to chase his cricketing dreams, enduring significant hardship, including living in a tent. His fortunes changed when coach Jwala Singh discovered him and helped hone his cricketing talent, setting Jaiswal on the path to national recognition.

Yashasvi Jaiswal leaves Mumbai for Goa's cricket team in the 2025-26 Ranji season. His move, driven by personal reasons, heralds a new chapter as Goa ascends to the Elite division.

The story of Yashasvi Jaiswal

Indian cricket star Yashasvi Jaiswal shifts from Mumbai to join the Goa team for the 2025-26 Ranji season. The move, approved by MCA, is a strategic and personal transition. With Goa's promotion to the Elite division, Jaiswal aims to enhance team performance.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's Move to Goa Explained

Yashasvi Jaiswal moves from Mumbai to Goa for the 2025-26 Ranji season. Citing personal reasons, the shift seems amiable. Jaiswal&rsquo;s skill is a significant morale boost for Goa, now in the Elite division.

Yashasvi Jaiswal will play for Goa from the next season!&nbsp; Yes, you have read that right.
 In a surprising move, Indian cricket&rsquo;s rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal has decided to part ways with Mumbai and join Goa for the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy season. The move comes as Goa secures its place in the Elite division, marking a fresh chapter in Jaiswal&rsquo;s already inspiring cricketing journey.
&ldquo;It was a very tough decision for me. Whatever I am today is because of Mumbai. The city has made me who I am, and all my life, I will be indebted to the MCA,&rdquo; Jaiswal said when asked about his move.
What led to the Goa Move?&nbsp;
Jaiswal wrote an email to Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to change his cricket state team. &ldquo;He has sought a NOC from us and has cited that the reason for his move to Goa as personal,&rdquo; a source in the MCA confirmed.&nbsp;
 As an all-format player for India, Jaiswal&rsquo;s participation in domestic cricket is sporadic&mdash;he played just one Ranji Trophy match last season. Despite this, GCA secretary Shambu Desai believes his presence will be a massive morale booster for the squad. Goa is also looking to add another seasoned professional to strengthen their team.
The Mumbai Exit: Any Controversy?
Jaiswal&rsquo;s last appearance for Mumbai was in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy against Jammu &amp; Kashmir, where he scored 4 and 26 in a losing cause. He was set to play in the semi-final against Vidarbha but was ruled out due to an ankle injury.
MCA secretary Hadap dismissed any speculation about controversy surrounding his withdrawal from the crucial match.
Mumbai, with its record 42 Ranji Trophy titles, remains the most successful domestic team in India. Jaiswal made his mark in Mumbai&rsquo;s senior team in the 2019 Vijay Hazare Trophy with a series of impressive performances.
He later continued his stellar form in the Ranji Trophy, scoring three consecutive centuries in Mumbai&rsquo;s 2021-22 campaign.
Establishing Himself as a Star for India
Since making his Test debut in 2023 against West Indies, where he scored 171 runs, Jaiswal has consistently delivered on the international stage.
He became only the second Indian batter, after Sunil Gavaskar, to score 700+ runs in a Test series (against England in 2023-24).
His heroics in Australia, including a match-winning 161 in Perth, have further solidified his place in the team. He is no doubt a strong contender for a long-term role in ODIs once the senior players step aside.
IPL Journey: Rajasthan Royals&rsquo; Retained Star
Jaiswal has been an integral part of Rajasthan Royals since being signed in 2020. In IPL 2023, he set the record for the fastest fifty in tournament history, reaching the milestone in just 13 balls against KKR. He finished the season with 625 runs.
In IPL 2024, he scored 435 runs, leading Rajasthan Royals to retain him for INR 18 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
What This Move Means for Jaiswal and Indian Cricket
A domestic team switch is unlikely to impact Jaiswal&rsquo;s place in the Indian team, but his leadership role with Goa presents a new opportunity for growth. Whether this move strengthens his case for future leadership roles in Indian cricket remains to be seen.&nbsp;
How did it all start for Yashasvi Jaiswal? &nbsp; Jaiswal, originally from Uttar Pradesh, moved to Mumbai at the age of 11 with dreams of making it big in cricket. From selling pani puris to spending nights in a tent at Azad Maidan, his story is a perfect example of relentless struggle and determination.
The city&rsquo;s historic maidans polished his raw talent. honed his skills and helped him grow into the cricketer he is today. However, the 23-year-old is now ready to embrace a new challenge with Goa.
A Bold Decision at the Peak of His Career
Unlike many who leave Mumbai towards the end of their playing days, Jaiswal is making the switch while at the peak of his career.
With 1,798 runs in 19 Test matches at a remarkable average of 52.88, he is considered one of India&rsquo;s most promising batters.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to the Goa cricket team next season, amid a challenging IPL run and significant career decisions. This move is pivotal for the young cricketer.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Moves from Mumbai to Goa Team

Rising star Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to Goa cricket team amid recent challenges in IPL 2025 and domestic cricket. The move may redefine his career trajectory.

Yashasvi Jaiswal transitions from Mumbai to the Goa cricket team next season

Yashasvi Jaiswal, a promising Indian cricketer, shifts from Mumbai to the Goa team citing personal reasons, amid a challenging IPL season and recent Ranji performances.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of the most promising young talents in Indian cricket, is set to make a significant shift in his career trajectory. The star batsman, who has been a stalwart for the Mumbai state team since his under19 days, has decided to transition to the Goa cricket team from the next season.
Jaiswal has reportedly emailed the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) seeking a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to facilitate this move. The change echoes similar decisions by fellow cricketers Arjun Tendulkar and Siddhesh Lad, who also swapped Mumbai for Goa in recent years.
Jaiswal's recent performances, especially in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy for Mumbai, come after a challenging spell in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. With the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) mandating participation in domestic red-ball cricket for national team players, stars like Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli were seen returning to their state teams.
However, from the next season, Jaiswal will don the Goa jersey in domestic competitions. An MCA source revealed that Jaiswal cited personal reasons for his decision.
In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Jaiswal has encountered a rough patch, scoring only 34 runs in three matches for the Rajasthan Royals. His average stands at 11.33, with a strike rate of 106.25, and his highest score being 29. RR's promising opener has had innings of 1, 29, and 4, reflecting the team&rsquo;s struggle for favorable outcomes.
Jaiswal&rsquo;s performance during powerplays since IPL 2024 has been a concern. He has been dismissed eight times out of 18 innings within the first three overs &mdash; a 44% dismissal rate &mdash; a marked increase from the 29% rate in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, during which he amassed 625 runs in the latter year.
The 2024 IPL season was below par for Jaiswal; he recorded 435 runs with an average of 31.07 and a strike rate nearing 156, scoring a solitary century and fifty.
Notably, his attacking shot percentage has decreased to 70% over the last two seasons, compared to the previous two seasons.
Jaiswal's move and current form will be closely watched by cricketing enthusiasts and could be pivotal in reshaping his career.

Indian stars Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja make it to the prestigious ICC Men's Test Team of the Year 2024, showcasing outstanding performances in a year filled with remarkable cricketing feats.

His tally included four centuries and four half-centuries, with his standout performance being a match-winning 156 against England.
<h3>Joe Root (England)</h3>
Joe Root once again dominated Test cricket in 2024. After a slow start against India, Root found his rhythm with some impressive performances, including a monumental 375-run series against Sri Lanka, where he surpassed Alastair Cook's record for most Test centuries by an English player.
He ended the year with 1,556 runs at an average of 55.57, including six centuries and five fifties.

In total, Smith made 637 runs in 2024 at an average of 42.46, including a century and four fifties, and played a key role behind the stumps with 32 dismissals.
<h3>Ravindra Jadeja (India)</h3>
Jadeja had a superb all-round year in 2024. He was a key figure in India&rsquo;s series wins against England and Bangladesh, contributing with both bat and ball.
He took 48 wickets at an average of 24.29 and scored 527 runs, including a century and three half-centuries, helping India dominate in multiple series.
<h3>Pat Cummins (Australia, captain)</h3>
Pat Cummins led Australia to victory in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, leading them to a 3-1 win against India.
As captain, he also contributed significantly with both bat and ball, taking 37 wickets at an average of 24.02 and scoring 306 runs.
His leadership helped Australia reclaim the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade.

His performances against Australia were particularly memorable, where he led India to crucial victories, including a mesmerizing 5/30 in the first Test at Perth and a nine-wicket haul in Melbourne.

Pat Cummins (c) (Australia), Yashasvi Jaiswal (India), Ben Duckett (England), Kane Williamson (New Zealand), Joe Root (England), Harry Brook (England), Kamindu Mendis (Sri Lanka), Jamie Smith (wk) (England), Ravindra Jadeja (India), Matt Henry (New Zealand), Jasprit Bumrah (India).
These 11 players have truly set the benchmark in Test cricket for 2024, showcasing their dominance in both batting and bowling.

Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant (30 off 104) batted out the entire second session to take India to 112/3 but the latter’s fall opened the doors for the home team.

Australia beat India by 184 runs in fourth Test

Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant (30 off 104) batted out the entire second session to take India to 112/3 but the latter&rsquo;s fall opened the doors for the home team.

India slumped to a demoralising 184-run loss to Australia in the fourth Test here on Monday with contemporary greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failing to come good yet again, signalling that their walk towards the exit door is not too far.
Chasing a near improbable target of 340, both Rohit (9 off 40 balls) and Kohli (5) failed to battle their technical frailties and mental cobwebs as India lost seven wickets for 34 runs in just 20.4 overs in the final session to be all out for 155 in 79.1 overs.
Australian captain Pat Cummins (3/28 in 18 overs) was superb as usual and Scott Boland was also magnificent (3/39 in 16 overs) in his every spell.
Nathan Lyon (2/37 in 20.1 overs) took advantage of variable bounce while Mitchell Starc (1/25 in 16 overs) got the prized scalp of Kohli.
This was after an 88-run fourth-wicket stand between Yashasvi Jasiwal and Rishabh Pant.
"Pretty disappointing. We wanted to fight but we could not do it," a dejected Rohit said in the post-match presentation.
"We tried everything but they fought hard. We did not grab our chances," he conceded.
Australia now lead the series 2-1 and unless India draw level in Sydney, a third successive World Test Championship final could become a distant dream. Even to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India would need to post a win.
Save Jaiswal (84, 208 balls), whose controversial caught-behind in which the third umpire overruled technology to adjudge him out, none of the other batters performed well enough to save the team.
"They batted well in the middle session. We knew that we had to get one breakthrough and anything can happen and that proved to be the case.
"We had plenty of runs to play with, we had plenty of fielders with the helmet around," a beaming Cummins, who was also adjudged player of the match for his haul of six wickets, said in the presentation ceremony.
The art of saving Test matches has slowly become extinct but India would have depended on their two senior-most players, who are also fighting to save their legacy and reputation built over nearly two decades.
In case of Rishabh Pant, it was one bad shot too many after a full session in which he concentrated. He got a rank long hop from Travis Head but after a 103-ball vigil, it all came to a naught.
Even Jaiswal's guts and grit couldn't prevent a once highly-rated, but currently a trifle over-rated, Indian batting line-up from implosion with over-the-hill seniors and young superstars unable to handle the pressure.
The defeat could have severe repercussions as there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel for skipper Rohit.
As for Kohli, despite all his white-ball exploits, the problems outside the off-stump will stick out like a sore thumb.
For Rohit, his ultra-defensive approach in the opening slot, is causing India to stare down the barrel with alarming regularity.
Rohit did all the hard work during the first hour before opposition skipper Cummins got his bunny for the 10th time in Test matches.
Kohli could never control his urge of playing the cover drive again and was caught at first slip after Mitchell Starc pushed one across with the angle.
Rahul was out without troubling the scorers after getting a second good ball in the game.
Rohit's decision to bat up the order backfired and it also tinkered with Rahul's mindset despite him being perfectly fine opening the innings.
The captaincy was pedestrian as he let the game drift on occasions and there were lot of phases that led to India's defeat but none more telling than the final wicket partnership between Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon where the target went out of reach on Sunday.
Save Jasprit Bumrah, who once again toiled manfully for 50 overs and took nine wickets, and find-of-the-series Nitish Reddy, who scored a gritty hundred, there are no positives to be taken from this defeat.
The batting, save for the second innings in the opening Perth Test, has been absolutely below par and India won't be doing themselves any favours if they have walking wickets at the top of the order.
The team is going through a tough transition and it is now time that their feisty head coach Gautam Gambhir shows some spark along with chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli's communication error leads to a run-out mishap on Day 2 of the fourth Test at MCG, leaving India trailing by 310 runs.

Jaiswal and Kohli's Mix-Up Costs India in 4th Test

Jaiswal, after clipping the ball towards mid-on, immediately called for a run, but Kohli, unaware of the fielder&rsquo;s position, was slow to respond.

Indian batters Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli were involved in a frustrating mix-up on Day 2 of the fourth Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday.
The pair had built a solid 102-run partnership for the third wicket before the misunderstanding led to Jaiswal's unfortunate dismissal. The incident occurred on the final ball of the 41st over, bowled by Scott Boland.

 Jaiswal, after clipping the ball towards mid-on, immediately called for a run, but Kohli, unaware of the fielder&rsquo;s position, was slow to respond.
By the time Kohli realized the situation, Jaiswal was already nearly at the striker's end, resulting in a mix-up. Jaiswal found himself stranded, and Australian captain Pat Cummins threw the ball to the striker&rsquo;s end, where wicketkeeper Alex Carey completed the dismissal.

Jaiswal, however, played a composed innings, impressing with his technique and a series of elegant boundaries, finishing with 82. At 22, the talented batsman, who had scored 161 runs in the first Test in Perth, looked set for another century before the unfortunate run-out.
The mix-up, where Jaiswal attempted a quick single but was called back by Kohli, brought an abrupt end to their threatening 102-run stand.
Kohli, who had already been fined 20% of his match fee for a shoulder charge on debutant Sam Konstas on Day 1, was dismissed shortly after for 36 when he was caught behind by Alex Carey off Boland&rsquo;s bowling. Boland also dismissed nightwatchman Akash Deep for a duck.
At the end of Day 2, India were at 164/5, still trailing Australia by 310 runs. Australia had been bowled out for 474 shortly after lunch, with Steve Smith contributing a stylish 140. <a href="4.	https:/www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/boxing-day-test-india-end-day-two-at-164-5-trail-australia-by-310-runs-1735284445323" target="_blank">ALSO READ: </a><a href="4.	https:/www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/boxing-day-test-india-end-day-two-at-164-5-trail-australia-by-310-runs-1735284445323" target="_blank">Boxing Day Test: India end day two at 164/5, trail Australia by 310 runs</a>

India reached 164/5 at stumps on Day 2, trailing Australia by 310 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal (82) and Virat Kohli (36) steadied India’s innings after early setbacks.

India trails Australia by 310 runs on Day 2

Resuming at their overnight score of 311 for six, the hosts added 163 runs on the day to post a commanding total.

A familiar collapse unfolded after Yashasvi Jaiswal's inexplicable run-out as India stared down the barrel at 164/5 against a menacing Australia on day two of the fourth Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
Jaiswal, who was quite fluent during his 118-ball stay that yielded 82 runs, was way short of his crease after a mix-up with Virat Kohli (36) while attempting a quick single, handing Australia the breakthrough that could prove decisive.
<a href="6.	https:/www.editorji.com/sports-news/watch-yashasvi-jaiswal-run-out-following-mix-up-with-virat-kohli-in-boxing-day-test-1735286663343" target="_blank">Watch: Yashasvi Jaiswal Run Out Following Mix-Up With Virat Kohli in Boxing Day Test</a>
India are still 310 runs behind Australia's first innings score of 474 and would need another 111 runs to avoid a follow-on that should never have been a consideration on a placid batting track.
It was 153 for 2 at one stage and in four overs, another three wickets fell with Gautam Gambhir's plan of sending a night watchman in Akash Deep turning out to be one of the many poor calls that the head coach has taken in this game.
In a space of barely five minutes, cricket showed its fickle nature as Jaiswal pushed towards mid-on and called for a quick single with an assured Kohli (36) at the other end. Kohli took a step and half before retreating.
Pat Cummins swooped the ball and threw at the striker's end with a frustrated Jaiswal seen telling his idol "my call".
This moment will be one for posterity as Kohli looked down and perhaps felt that he could have at least said a loud "No" to allow Jaiswal to sprint back.
The run-out broke his concentration and for the first time after 85 balls, he poked a delivery bowled in the corridor of uncertainty and it was the end.
Scott Boland repeated the dismissal that has been a norm for quite a while now. Akash Deep didn't have the technique to survive and the day ended in Australia's favour just like it started.
The Jaiswal-Kohli pair had added 102 runs and looked comfortable just like they did in the Perth second innings. The ball hardly did anything after Rohit Sharma (3) played a poor shot and KL Rahul got a ripper from Pat Cummins.
Jaiswal was in regal form, as he cut, pulled, drove and lofted the Australian bowlers stamping his authority as the next megastar of Indian batting.
Kohli, at the other end, endured boos for Thursday's run-in with debutant Sam Konstas and battled his demons
This was after Steve Smith's 34th Test hundred ensured a very good total for hosts.
Starting the day at 311 for 6, Smith added 112 and 44 runs with Cummins (49) and Mitchell Starc (15) respectively, leaving the visitors searching for back-up plans.
Jasprit Bumrah (4/99 in 28.4 oves) was once again brilliant despite the first spell thrashing from Konstas but Mohammed Siraj's ordinary showing (0/122 in 23 overs) was the primary reason for batters not being under any pressure.
Smith, who was unbeaten overnight on 68 off 111 balls, took another 56 deliveries in the second morning to complete a Test ton which placed him on even keel with the legendary Sunil Gavaskar (34).
The century came with a push drive through the vacant cover region and celebrations were pretty muted with a just vigorous head nod for his teammates in the dug-out.
Smith, who had a torrid run till the second Test of this series, played both days in contrasting styles. On Thursday, he was ready to be patient and waited for deliveries at the expense of looking ugly.
On Friday, the same batter was walking down the track to force the bowlers to alter their length. He was ready to pull and hook, getting two sixes off Bumrah and Siraj respectively.
Despite a significant drop in temperature and some nip in the air, Indians failed to make use of the semi-new Kookaburra, with lines going all awry and length being short enough to be punished. Cummins was allowed to settle down and hit seven boundaries.
The Indian ploy of playing two spinners backfired with Ravindra Jadeja (3/78 in 22 overs) and Washington Sundar (1/49 in 15 overs) never looking penetrative.
For a change, Siraj didn&rsquo;t try and sledge an in-form batter, something that he did in Adelaide with some disastrous results.
But that didn't soften the Australian supporters, who constantly booed him and Kohli as and when the ball went to them.

Yashasvi Jaiswal's poor form a major worry for Team India ahead of T20 World Cup 2024

<h2>Jaiswal was out for a run-a-ball 4 against the Punjab Kings and failed to give the Royals a solid start yet again</h2>

Yashasvi Jaiswal came into the IPL on back of brilliant form and not only scored double hundreds for fun in the Test series against England but also played a couple of fiery knocks in the T20I series against Afghanistan.
However, he has been a mere shadow of himself in IPL 2024 as the Rajasthan Royals opening batter has failed to impress in 11 of the 13 knocks he has played so far.
Jaiswal has suddenly looked out of form and Wednesday was no different. The 22-year-old was out for a run-a-ball 4 against the Punjab Kings and failed to give the Royals a solid start yet again.
Sadly, that was the 4th time he was dismissed in the very-first over of the season of the IPL, which is the joint-most with Quinton de Kock.
His total runs of 348 in the season so far may not look that bad but it includes a hundred and a half-century. Just 2 good knocks in 13 innings cannot be justified by any means for a batter of his caliber.
Apart from those 2 knocks, Jaiswal has scored just 171 runs in 11 innings so far at a below-par average of 15.5.
It's a major worry for Team India, considering he is the first-choice opener along with Rohit Sharma for the T20 World Cup that starts right after IPL 2023.
What's even more concerning is that the Indian skipper himself is going through a lean patch has has scored just 52 runs in the last 6 innings.
While Rohit is left with just 1 more game, jaiswal will have a couple of games to strike form as Rajasthan has qualified for the playoffs.

Jos Buttler scored 35 but it was Jaiswal and Sanju Samson who tamed the bowlers and guided Rajasthan to their 7th win in 8 outings with an unbeaten 109-run partnership.

Yashasvi Jaiswal finally found his mojo back and smashed his 2nd IPL hundred to help Rajasthan Royals thrash the Mumbai Indians by 9 wickets on Monday.
Hardik Pandya's decision to bat first backfired as Mumbai found themselves wanting at 20/3. That's when Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera steadied the ship with a 99-run partnership.
While Tilak top-scored with 65, Wadhera missed a well-deserved fifty by just 1 run. However, with no support from the other batters meant that MI settled for 179/9.
Sandeep Sharma was the pick of the bowlers as he grabbed his maiden 5-wicket haul.
It proved to be a cakewalk for the hosts as they chased down the target with 8 balls to spare.
Jos Buttler scored 35 but it was Jaiswal and Sanju Samson who tamed the bowlers and guided Rajasthan to their 7th win in 8 outings with an unbeaten 109-run partnership.
While the skipper scored a fluent 38 not out, Jaiswal stood tall with an unbeaten 104 off just 60 balls.
It was the last match in Jaipur and it proved no less than a fortress for the Royals as they won 4 of their 5 matches at this ground this season. Mumbai on the other hand were handed their 5th loss in 8 matches.

The back-to-back double hundreds at the age of 22 years and 49 days made him the third youngest batter in the world to record two double centuries in Tests after Sir Donald Bradman and Vinod Kambli.

Prolific Yashasvi Jaiswal wins ICC Player of Month Award

The back-to-back double hundreds at the age of 22 years and 49 days made him the third youngest batter in the world to record two double centuries in Tests after Sir Donald Bradman and Vinod Kambli.

India's newest batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal was on Tuesday named the ICC 'Player of the Month' for February, following his prolific run in the Test series against England, which saw him amass over 700 runs.
The 22-year-old southpaw totalled a staggering 712 runs over five matches, the highest aggregate by an Indian batter in a Test series against England.
The Indian opener created several records in February, and equalled the long-standing Test record for most sixes in a Test innings (12) during his Rajkot double ton.
He struck two double hundreds and three half-centuries in the just-concluded series against England, which the hosts won 4-1 with Jaiswal playing a handsome role in the triumph.
"I'm really happy to achieve ICC award and I hope I will be getting more in future," Jaiswal said after he was informed about the win.
"It's one of the best and this is my first five-match series series. I really enjoyed it, the way I have played and the way it's been and we won the series by 4-1. It's been an incredible experience with all my mates And I really enjoyed it." Few have made as strong a start to their international career as Jaiswal and the numbers prove that he could already be one of the best Test openers in the world.
Jaiswal singled out the celebration following his knock of 214 not out in Rajkot as one that he enjoyed the most.
"I think when I celebrated my double century in Rajkot, I think that was something which I really enjoyed and felt it. And I was, I was living," he added.
He also slammed 219 in Visakhapatnam.
The back-to-back double hundreds at the age of 22 years and 49 days made him the third youngest batter in the world to record two double centuries in Tests after Sir Donald Bradman and Vinod Kambli.
Jaiswal ended the month with astounding numbers in the three Tests he featured in &mdash; 560 runs at an average of 112 including 20 sixes.
To his credit, he has carried the form into March, reaching the milestone of 1000 Test runs, becoming the second-quickest Indian to the landmark.
Jaiswal beat competition from New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson and Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka to win the award.&nbsp;

<h2>Yashasvi Jaiswal has made 655 runs across four Tests at an average of 93.57, boasting two fifties and two centuries, both of which he converted into double hundreds.</h2>

In an impressive ascent within the international cricket arena, Yashasvi Jaiswal has made his mark by entering the top-10 of the ICC Test batters' rankings. This achievement comes as a testament to his exceptional performance in the current series against England, marking a significant milestone early in his career.
Having made his Test debut in 2023, Jaiswal's recent exploits have seen him surge two places up the rankings, now sitting at the 10th position with a commendable 727 rating points. His remarkable run of form makes him the only left-handed Indian batsman to surpass the 600-run threshold in a Test series, and 5th Indian batter overall, joining a prestigious list of Indian cricket legends including Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Sardesai, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli.
The 22-year-old's batting prowess is evident from his tally of 655 runs across four Tests at an average of 93.57, boasting two fifties and two centuries, both of which he converted into double hundreds. This feat positions Jaiswal within striking distance of Sunil Gavaskar&rsquo;s record for the most runs scored by an Indian in a Test series, which stands at 774 runs.

Despite missing the series against England, Virat Kohli moved up to the eighth position.
In the realm of bowlers, India's Ravindra Jadeja experienced a slight dip, falling to the seventh position. However, Australian bowlers Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon saw improvements in their standings, moving up to fourth and sixth places respectively, following Australia's significant victory over New Zealand. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/mom-said-from-hospital-bed-you-should-go-back-as-test-match-is-on-r-ashwin-india-vs-england-1709722571317">Mom said from hospital bed 'You should go back as Test match is on': R Ashwin | India vs England</a>

Yashasvi Jaiswal equals Virat Kohli's record for most runs in a Test series | IND vs ENG

Yashasvi Jaiswal was on the verge of breaking former skipper Virat Kohli's record for the most runs scored in a Test series against England by only one run before he was dismissed by Joe Root.

On Monday, February 26 at the JSCA Cricket Stadium Complex in Ranchi, during Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test, Team India batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal added another feather to his nascent international career. The southpaw has massed 655 runs, the same number Virat achieved in 2016-17.
However, Yashasvi has another game left to go past the legendary cricketer. &nbsp;With his 73-run innings in the first innings of the Ranchi Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal became the second-highest run scorer for India in a Test series against England, surpassing the record of 602 runs held by former captain and head coach Rahul Dravid.
Yashasvi Jaiswal was on the verge of breaking former skipper Virat Kohli's record for the most runs scored in a Test series against England by only one run. When he tried a big shot off Joe Root's ball, the 22-year-old was batting on 37. However, he sliced towards the backwards point, and James Anderson dove to collect the catch.
His attacking style of cricket has placed the visitors on the back foot and he has played strongly against England.&nbsp;
In the current five-match Test series against the Ben Stokes-led team, he already has two double-hundreds and a number of fifties. His two double tonnes came from India's victories in Rajkot and Vizag. Jaiswal's double hundred in the second game earned him the title of Player of the Match.&nbsp;

The left-handed Jaiswal, who made his India debut last year during the tour of the West Indies, achieved the feat in his seventh innings of the ongoing five-match Test series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes fifth Indian to amass over 600 runs in a Test series | IND vs ENG

The left-handed Jaiswal, who made his India debut last year during the tour of the West Indies, achieved the feat in his seventh innings of the ongoing five-match Test series.

Opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal on Saturday became only the fifth Indian to score 600 or more runs in a Test series, during the second day's play of the fourth match against England in Ranchi.
The left-handed Jaiswal, who made his India debut last year during the tour of the West Indies, achieved the feat in his seventh innings of the ongoing five-match Test series when he took a single off Shoaib Bashir to reach 55 not out during the final session.
On a run-making spree, Jaiswal struck two double hundreds in the second and third Tests against England in the ongoing series.
The 22-year-old Jaiswal joined Indian batting legends Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid as well as Dilip Sardesai to amass more than 600 runs in a Test series.
Former Indian captains Gavaskar, Kohli and Dravid had amassed more than 600 runs in Test series twice in their careers while Sardesai recorded his feat during the away series in the West Indies in 1970-71.
It was in the same 1970-71 series in the West Indies that Gavaskar created the record of most runs for any Indian batter in a Test series, garnering 774 runs at 154.8 with four centuries and three half-centuries.
Gavaskar holds the distinction of being the only Indian to have scored more than 700 runs in a Test series on two occasions.
The &lsquo;Little Master&rsquo; also churned out 732 runs in six Tests at 91.5 with four tons and a fifty when the West Indies toured India in 1978-79.
The world record for most runs in a Test series is held by Australian batting legend Donald Bradman, who made 974 runs in five Tests against England at 139.14 with four centuries in 1930.

At the age of ten, Jaiswal, the son of a modest shopkeeper in Uttar Pradesh, relocated to Mumbai to play cricket.
He admitted to sleeping at a dairy where he used to work for a while in an interview with Indian Express in 2020. "I would get tired and go to sleep after playing cricket all day." He said, "One day, they threw out my luggage and said I just sleep and don't help them."
The left-handed opener made history last Sunday when he amassed his second double century, which featured a record 12 sixes, to lead India to a 434-run victory over England in the third Test at Rajkot. 2020 saw Jaiswal dominate the U-19 World Cup. He successfully converted the success into an IPL bid of Rs 2.4 crore for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023, where he flourished with 625 runs in 14 games.
