"Part of the challenge of playing against India is they're very good at niggling you and trying to distract you with stuff that doesn't really matter and there were times in that series where we fell for that," Paine said

India was among the many countries that expressed interest in hosting the Olympics with Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju saying earlier this week that a green signal from the Centre is yet to be given on the matter.

Pant scored a 97 at Sydney and an unbeaten 89 at Brisbane that powered India to an incredible series win against arch-rivals Australia Down Under.

With the Test series against England all set to begin on Friday, former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir picked his team for the challenge. He went with the new opening pair of Rohit Sharma and youngster Shubman Gill

The pacer said he was going through a tough period after his father’s (Mohammed Ghouse) demise in November. He wanted to come back to his family in the time of need but his mother and his fiancée stood by him and encouraged him.

Given the pandemic situation, only a small group of his friends welcomed him at his home. The fast bowler will spend only two days with his family before joining the Indian team in quarantine

Brisbane 2021 should not be dismissed as a fluke but as an outcome of hard work and ambition to be global leader in the game

Mohammad Siraj jumped 32 places to 45th rank after taking six wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings

Whatever you say about him, it will be very less. He had put his life for the Indian cricket team. He took so many blows, on the gloves, body and was hit on the helmet as well but he stayed there.

Many cricketers took to Twitter hailing Team India’s performance. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Rishabh Pant and said the youngsters like T Natarajan, Shardul Thakur, Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar

India registered a historic three-wicket win in the fourth and final Test against Australia at The Gabba, thereby clinching the Border-Gavaskar series 2-1.

"Forget Spiderman, he goes: Tune Churaya mere dil ka chain after that. Hahahaha. Only one Pant," commented one of the users.

After losing set batsman Mayank Agarwal and Rishabh Pant early in the session, Sundar and Thakur shared an unbeaten stand of 67 runs to help India reach 253/6 at Tea, still trailing by 116 runs.

He attracted severe criticism from former greats including the likes of Sunil Gavaskar. Former India wicket-keeper Deep Dasgupta also said he was baffled by the way Rohit threw his wicket. Speaking in a video on the YouTube channel ‘Sports Today, he said

You really feel for him, I was there in Sydney when he took those 5-6 wickets, and that was when Ravi Shastri actually said, ‘he is our number 1 overseas,’ and I don’t know whether he has actually played a Test match since then.

The reported incident happened a few days after Siraj was racially abused by spectators at the Sydney Cricket Ground on the third and fourth day of the drawn third Test

India is plagued with injuries in the ongoing series with all of their frontline pacers – Mohammad Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and now Bumrah – sidelined with various injuries.

The 28-year-old visibly seemed to be in a lot of discomfort, holding onto his thighs, after his follow-through as he bowled his fifth delivery during the post-lunch session to Marnus Labuschagne in the 36th over of the Australian innings.
