India captain Virat Kohli has maintained his top spot, Cheteshwar Pujara returned to top five while Jasprit Bumrah achieved a career-high ranking of 33 in the latest ICC Test rankings for batsmen and bowlers.

News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
Rishabh Pant yesterday equalled the world record of most catches in a Test by a wicketkeeper, snaring 11 in the first match against Australia while breaking the Indian mark. Pant, 21, is now level with Englishman Jack Russell (v South Africa at Johannesburg in 1995) and South Africa's AB de Villiers (v Pakistan at Johannesburg in 2013). He eclipsed the India record of 10 catches in a game by Wriddhiman Saha, as the visitors won the opening Test by 31 runs to go 1-0 up in the four-match series. Pant equalled the world record after taking Mitchell Starc's catch off Mohammed Shami in the second innings at the Adelaide Oval. The wicketkeeper caught six batsmen in the first innings and five in the next on his way to the record. In the first innings, Pant was involved in the dismissals of Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb and Tim Paine before pouching on to edges off Starc, Travis Head and Josh Hazlewood's willow. When India bowled again, he played a role in the departure of openers M..

Video: Ravi Shastri trolled over his 'b**** in my mouth' statement

yesterday  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
India registered a hard-fought victory over hosts Australia in the first Test at Adelaide by 31 runs. But the gruelling victory was overshadowed by Ravi Shastri's witty reaction to India's win. Speaking to Sunil Gavaskar in a post-match interview, Ravi Shastri revealed that for sometime, when Australia got close to the target, his b**** were in his mouth! Australia were set a 323-run target by India in the first Test of the series in Adelaide and after stuttering at 187 for 7, the tail-enders of Australia put on 104 runs for the final three wickets to take their team periliously close to India's target. India eventually won by 31 runs when Ravichandran Ashwin took Josh Hazlewood's wicket. Well we understand Ravi Shastri's feelings as the head coach of the Indian team, he might just have voiced what millions of Indians were feeling during the match. Here are some funny reactions on Twitter to Ravi Shastri's golden words: A frank Ravi Shastri opens up about how his body reacted wh..

Adelaide Test: Pujara is Michael Vaughan's man of the match!

yesterday  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
Michael Vaughan, England's 2005 Ashes-winning captain, is bowled over by Cheteshwar Pujara's skill and temperament. Vaughan, here as a television commentator for the host broadcaster, was delighted to see Pujara play two important innings in the ongoing Adelaide Oval Test after he was dropped for the last opening Test India played abroad - against England at Birmingham in August. "I protested his omission then. It was a wrong decision to leave him out of the playing XI and I am delighted that he has fared well here," Yorkshireman Vaughan said yesterday. Michael Vaughan Asked why he thought Pujara couldn't hit the high notes for Yorkshire for whom he turned out before the series against England, Vaughan said: "It was a wet summer and the ball seamed a lot. It can happen to any player." Vaughan has already expressed his opinion on who should get the Man of the Match award if India win today - Pujara. About the Saurashtra batsman's splendid show, Vaughan remarked: "He has the right ki..

CoA chairman Vinod Rai has decided against his colleague Diana Edulji's call to scrap the selection process of the Indian women's team coach and continue with Ramesh Powar at least till the New Zealand tour beginning next month. In a letter to Rai, CoA member Edulji said Powar should be given an extension at least till the New Zealand tour, considering he has the backing of T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and seasoned opener Smriti Mandhana. Rai, however, in his reply made it clear that scrapping the coach selection process is out of the question as the BCCI has already invited applications for the job. The application deadline ends on December 14 and Manoj Prabhakar, Herchelle Gibbs and Dimitri Mascarenhas are among the applicants. "Diana sent an email to Rai asking for extension of Powar as both Harmanpreet and Mandhana asked for it. She wanted the interview process to be scrapped," a BCCI official privy to development told PTI on conditions of anonymity. "However, Rai replied b..

Kohli and Co create history in Australia after 71 years!

11 hours ago  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
The sight of Travis Head fending a sharp bouncer from Ishant Sharma and spooning a catch straight to gully on a fifth day pitch was a sight to behold for Indian fans. For as long as one can remember, it has always been the Australian fast bowlers that have been the antagonists, but yesterday the roles were reversed as India recorded a historic 31-run victory in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Adelaide Oval to take the lead in the four-Test series. This is the first time in 71 years that India have won the opening Test of a series in Australia. The wicket of Head in the eighth over of the day provided India an ideal start and that gave the Indian fans in the Eastern Stand plenty to smile about. But with the pitch losing its pace, Shaun Marsh and Tim Paine started forging a strong partnership. Marsh raced past his fifty to raise Australia's hopes. But Jasprit Bumrah returned to the bowling crease to kiss the edge of Marsh's willow for 60 as India sensed a comfortab..

Hardik Pandya after injury: You'll pay a price for neglecting health

yesterday  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya says fitness is his priority in life and wants youngsters to focus on health. Pandya is current out of the national set up with a back injury. In September, the all-rounder was stretchered off the field following a lower back injury during the match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup. Talking about the importance of fitness in his life, he said: "Fitness is everything... no matter if you are sportsperson or not. It should be a priority in your life because it keeps you healthy. For example, if the youth doesn't focus on health, they won't feel any difference right now. But with age they will know... so that is why it is important for youth to be fit." Pandya, who is considered a youth icon by many, says the tag doesn't come with any pressure. "I like to live how I live my life. It is not that I get pressured by it. But generally, it is important - as people call me a youth icon - to set a good example, which is good for life. Even if I was not a youth ico..

Adelaide Test: Here's how Ajinkya Rahane got it right!

yesterday  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
Generally, when a batsman is not among the runs, he'd opt for a nightwatchman with only four overs remaining in the day's play. Not Ajinkya Rahane! The Indian vice-captain had only averaged 31.05 in his last 10 Test matches; he had not scored a hundred for 22 innings and the pressure was mounting. But he decided to confront it head-on. Rahane knew it was never going to be easy, but he was desperate to prove a point. He had to contend with a rough patch just outside his off stump and a masterful off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who is at the peak of his powers. Leading into the Test series, he had simulated playing Lyon out of the bowler's footmarks at the Sydney Cricket Ground. On Saturday evening, he backed his defensive methods to survive until stumps. Yesterday, he put into place all the methods he had been practising. There was the sweep, the skip down the wicket to smother the ball and in between the back-foot slap through the on-side. Even during the England tour, Rahane had looked at..

yesterday  
News / Mid-Day/ Sports  
Adelaide: India removed Travis Head and Shaun Marsh in the first session of the fifth and final day to close in on victory in the opening Test against Australia in Adelaide on Monday. Set a target of 323, Australia reached 186 for six at lunch at the Adelaide Oval. The visitors need another four wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Australia meanwhile need another 137 runs, with Tim Paine (40 not out) and Pat Cummins (5 not out) at the crease at lunch-break. They added 30 runs for the seventh wicket. Starting from overnight 104 for four, the Head-Marsh partnership lasted only 7.4 overs before India forced a breakthrough with the old Kookaburra ball. Head (14) was the first to go, with Ishant Sharma (1-35) bowling a sharp bouncer that followed the batsman and left him no room. The ball looped up to gully where Ajinkya Rahane made no mistake. The duo had added 31 runs with the onus now on Marsh and Paine as the last recognised batting pair. Marsh shouldered the responsibility and..
