Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team captain, is known for his composed demeanor on the field. However, in the second Test against Australia in Delhi, he displayed his emotions after the team’s commendable performance.
India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took 7 wickets, while R Ashwin claimed 3 wickets in Australia’s second innings, leading to their dismissal for just 113 runs. Meanwhile, Nathan Lyon, the Australian off-spinner, praised Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin’s crucial partnership on day two of the second Test in Delhi.
He considers them to be frontline batters who could easily fit into any of the top six line-ups in world cricket. Lyon also expressed his satisfaction with the team’s five-for and acknowledged that there is still a lot of work to be done in the test match.
Cheteshwar Pujara, who was playing his 100th Test match, spoke to the media before the memorable game. He expressed his gratitude for the honor of receiving the cap from Sunny G and thanked the legends who inspired him.
Pujara also shared that playing Test cricket is a challenge, much like life itself, and encouraged young players to work hard to play for India. He thanked his wife, family, BCCI, and teammates for their support throughout his journey.
During the ceremony, Sunil Gavaskar presented Pujara with a special cap to honor his 100th Test, while the whole team stood behind him, and his family was present to celebrate this special occasion.
