The Indians defeated the Aussies by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur, taking a 1-0 lead in the 4-match series. A win in Delhi will take them closer to the WTC final but at the same time, the Aussie will look to bounce back after the Nagpur drubbing. The hosts haven’t lost a Test at the venue — previously called Feroz Shah Kotla — since 1987.
Meanwhile, it’s also a big day for star Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara who becomes the 13th Indian Read More

A rollicking Tom Blundell century propelled New Zealand back into contention before two late England batting stumbles left the first Test tantalisingly poised at Mount Maunganui on Friday.
The tourists held a 98-run lead with eight second-innings wickets in hand and still three days to play in a fast-moving day-night Test at the Bay Oval. Blundell’s career-best 138 resurrected his side from 83-5, steering them to 306 and just 19 runs short of England’s 325-9 declared. (Read Full Report)
Veteran India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin once again troubled the Australian batters with his spin and achieved a massive milestone on Day of 2nd Test match at Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. The 36-year-old dismissed Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and Alex Carey to claim his 100th Test wicket against Australia. Ashwin spun his web on the first day as the Aussie batters failed to tackle him once again. (Read Full Story)
Ravindra Jadeja pitched the ball up to Khawaja on his legs as the Australian opener looked to reverse-sweep the ball. The pace at which the Indian all-rounder was darting the ball in, meant Khawaja’s shot went uppishly to the right of point. KL Rahul jumped to his right, stretching his right-hand out and holding on for a stunner.
In the morning session of the game, the play was halted for a while when a fan jumped over the boundary fence and rushed towards the pitch where a few Indian players were stationed.
Saurashtra have reached 148/4 at lunch on Day 2 but trail by Bengal by 26 runs in the Ranji Trophy final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

“Yes, Chetan has submitted his resignation and the same has been accepted by the board,” a source close to developments told News18 CricketNext.
Australia have reached 94/3 at Lunch on Day of the second Test.
Shami removed Warner in his second spell after some brilliant bowling from Siraj. Ashwin picked up the important wickets of Smith and Labuschagne.
The second day of the Ranji Trophy 2022-23 Final between Bengal and Saurashtra will also get underway at the Eden Gardens Kolkata. On Thursday, Jaydev Unadkat and Chetan Sakariya rattled the home team’s top-order to bundle them out for a paltry 174 on the opening day of the summit clash. It would have been more embarrassing for Bengal but spin all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed (69) and wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel (50) saved the hosts from the blushes with gritty half-centuries.
At close on day one, Saurashtra were 81 for 2, trailing Bengal by 93 runs.
