Feel for the fans who have turned up at the Eden. They deserved to see cricket played on a better pitch. #IndvsSA #EdensGardenGame

Those doubting Jasprit Bumrah's commitment to Test cricket need a brain operation. This has been a masterclass in reverse swing bowling. #Bumrah #IndvsSA

Appeal to vaccine manufacturers. Pls invent a drug for coaches, captains to develop immunity from a virus called match-ups. Shukri Conrad has caught the bug too by dropping left-arm spinner & 2nd Test hero vs Pak, Muthuswamy, as he has seen six lefties in Team India. #INDIAVSSA

India have won 60 of the 82 games that Axar Patel has featured in. And they have won 20 times in games where he has taken two or more wickets. #AUSvIND

A disapppinting spell from Prasidh on a pitch that suited him. But India will also be buoyed by the shift Harshit Rana put in. Struggled with inconsistency and cramps in Adelaide. But a good spell in Sydney. India picked up 7-53 and Harshit got four of them. #INDvsAUS

Fantastic spell from Sundar. Been a while since we have seen 10 overs on the trot by a spinner in ODIs. #INDvsAUS

The challenge of bowling to Travis Head is he creates off-side width even when the ball is pitched on middle stump. Fantastic hands. #INDvsAUS

Josh Hazlewood will bowl a lot worse than today and get three or four scalps. Just sensational length.#INDvsAUS

Is Axar Patel Yuvraj Singh or Brian Lara? May be the team management thinks he is to consistently get a gig at No. 5 ahead of KL Rahul. #INDvsAUS

Heather Knight doing to India in Indore in 2025 what Graham Gooch did in 1987 at Wankhede. Sweeping the spinners into the dust and potentially ending the World Cup dream. #WomensWorldCup2025

Whoever in the ICC thought holding World Cup cricket matches in October in Colombo was a good move, needs an urgent brain operation. #ICCWomensWorldCup

Bravery wins you big games against big teams in World Cups. By selecting a team with notional batting depth, India have been timid. All that batting depth came a cropper in the final overs today. #INDWvsAUSW

Shades of that catastrophic MCG mix up between Kohli and Jaiswal in the Yashasvi run out today. A double hundred was there for the taking, but frittered away, needlessly. It was his call, yes, but he was never going to make it even at the non-striker's end. #INDvsWI

That ball from Warrican to KL Rahul turned from Delhi to Gurgaon. No wonder KL had that shocked expression on his face. #IndvsWI

Light roller in operation for 10 min before the teams wound up nets. It gave a hint of what India were thinking. They would have used a heavy roller if they wanted to bat for 10 minutes and hope the surface breaks up. India have declared. WI opted for the light roller #INDvsWI

More people on the ground and in the two dressing rooms and the press box than in the stands to celebrate KL Rahul's first Test ton in India in nine years. #INDvsWI

Come on, Ahmedabad, show your love to Mohammed Siraj and the spell he is bowling. It's a holiday and his effort and skill needs greater appreciation in the form of fans in the stands. #siraj #INDvWI

Pakistan coach Mike Hesson had called Nawaz as the world's best spinner. The Pakistan captain failed to give him a single over today. #INDvsPAK
