“Are You Playing Gully Cricket?” Rohit Sharma Left Unimpressed By Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Fielding

“Are You Playing Gully Cricket?” Rohit Sharma Left Unimpressed By Yashasvi Jaiswal’s Fielding

The stump mic caught several instructions from India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to the players on Day 1 of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On such occasion, Rohit Sharma could be heard instructing Yashasvi Jaiswal on how to position himself while fielding in the silly point region. With Ravindra Jadeja bowling to Steve Smith, Rohit had put Jaiswal at silly point to apply more pressure. However, one particular aspect about Jaiswal’s fielding clearly left Rohit unimpressed. On one ball defended by Smith, Jaiswal could be seen jumping and reacting to Smith’s shot, prompting a retort from Rohit, who was fielding himself at first slip. “Jaisu (Yashasvi Jaiswal), do you think you’re playing gully cricket?” Rohit was caught saying on the stump mic. After another ball, Rohit could be heard instructing Jaiswal exactly how to position himself. “Stay sat on the ground. As long as he does not play, you don’t get up,” Rohit said again.

When Ashwin made even Rahul Dravid exult with his gully cricket smarts

When Ashwin made even Rahul Dravid exult with his gully cricket smarts

Ravichandran Ashwin, who recently announced his retirement from the Indian cricket team, has recalled in an interview how he made former India coach Rahul Dravid exult after the match against Pakistan, with his quick thinking ability. Ashwin was referring to that famous leave against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in 2022 when India needed just two runs off the final ball. India had lost the wicket of Dinesh Karthik on the previous ball with Virat Kohli at the other end. And then, Mohammad Nawaz bowled a ball to newcomer Ashwin which was down the leg side. Instead of throwing his bat at it and trying to force runs, Ashwin calmly watched the ball go to the wicketkeeper for a wide. On the next ball, he took India to victory. “I hadn’t realized what I had done. I came back into the dressing room and I haven’t seen Rahul Dravid exult like that — I mean the second time I saw him exult was after the T20 World Cup, which we won recently. Until this …

Mitchell Marsh Admits ”Nerves” At Gully, Hails Team’s Bowling On Day 3

Mitchell Marsh Admits ”Nerves” At Gully, Hails Team’s Bowling On Day 3

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh on Monday conceded that fielding at gully makes him the “most nervous”, particularly because of Cameron Green’s excellent reputation in that position. Green is not playing in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy owing to a spine injury, but Marsh has stepped intox that role with some degree of comfort, underlined by his flying catch to dismiss India batter Shubman Gill on day three of the Third Test here. “Yeah, I think since I’ve come back into the Test team, fielding at gully is probably when I feel the most nervous because Green is likely to go down as one of the best ever. If you drop one there, you’re always compared to him,” Marsh said during the post-day press conference. Marsh’s brilliant catch off left-arm quick Mitchell Starc led to Gill’s dismissal for one as India ended Day 3 on a precarious 51 for four. “Any time I can do something like that — I probably didn’t even need to dive, to be fair — but I thought it had …
