During the second day of the Ahmedabad Test, Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India, became visibly frustrated with a spectator who had appeared near the sight screen area and caused a distraction. Rohit’s concentration was broken, and he could be seen shouting ‘hata usko’ (remove him) in a bid to get the fan to move away.

Despite the incident, Rohit managed to keep his focus and ended the day without losing his wicket. However, there are differing reports as to when the incident occurred. Some sources claim that it happened during the sixth over of India’s innings, while others suggest that it occurred during the last over of the day’s play when a six from Shubman Gill’s bat got stuck in the sight screen.

Ravindra Jadeja's Instincts Lead to Another Disastrous DRS

The fourth test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia witnessed yet another disastrous DRS call by Team India, as Ravindra Jadeja convinced skipper Rohit Sharma to make a horrible decision against Usman Khawaja, the Australian opening batter.

The Indian bowling lineup failed to make much of an impact on the flat Ahmedabad pitch, and Khawaja took advantage of the situation by playing a heroic knock of 180 runs, batting for five sessions, making things really tough for the Indian team.

Even the spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel were made to toil hard as Khawaja didn’t give them any chance to dismiss him. Team India eventually went on to make a shocking DRS call against the left-handed batter, hoping to get rid of him.

On the 128th over of the Australian innings, Khawaja pushed an outside off delivery bowled by Jadeja using his pads as he didn’t offer any shot. The left-arm spinner instinctively made a huge appeal, but the on-field umpire gave it not out, after which he convinced skipper Rohit Sharma to call for DRS.

Unfortunately, it was a terrible decision as the ball was missing the off-stump by a mile. This was not the first time that Rohit lost DRS trusting Jadeja’s instincts, as he had made the same mistake a couple of times during the third test in Indore.

Khawaja’s knock provided the foundation that the Australian team was looking for. His massive partnership with all-rounder Cameron Green for the fifth wicket put the Aussie side in the driver’s seat as they posted a huge total of 480 before getting bowled out. Green too played a crucial knock of 114 runs.

After getting rid of Khawaja and Green, Team India couldn’t quickly wipe out the Australian tail as Nathan Lyon scored 34 and Todd Murphy scored 41. While the other Indian bowlers didn’t look threatening to the Aussie batters, it was Ravichandran Ashwin who kept on taking wickets at regular intervals.

Ashwin finished with the figures of 6 for 91 on the Ahmedabad pitch, which had no help for the spinners as the Men in Blue had to bowl 167.2 overs to dismiss the Australian batting lineup.

PSL 2023: Simon Doull’s Commentary on Hasan Ali’s Wife Sparks Controversy

New Zealand commentator Simon Doull has once again made headlines for his unusual commentary during the PSL 2023. After Islamabad United defeated Multan Sultans by two wickets in a thrilling match at Pindi Club Ground in Rawalpindi, Doull sparked a storm on social media with his comments on Hasan Ali’s wife, Samiyaa Arzoo.

The game between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans on March 7 had cricket fans on the edge of their seats, with the Islamabad franchise clinching the victory on the second last delivery of their innings. As soon as all-rounder Faheem Ashraf scored the final run, the winning team’s dugout erupted in celebrations. The camera then shifted towards Hasan Ali’s wife, Samiyaa Arzoo, and Doull made a peculiar comment about her.

“She has won it. She has won a few hearts as well, I believe. That is superb, absolutely stunning. And the victory,” Doull said on air after Islamabad United’s win. However, the Kiwi commentator’s remarks on Samiyaa Arzoo received severe backlash from netizens for being inappropriate and sexist.

Earlier, Doull had also received criticism for his harsh comments on Pakistan skipper Babar Azam during a PSL match. Doull had accused Babar Azam of prioritizing his personal milestones over the team’s cause. “Rather than putting the team first… the last little while, that’s all that’s been happening. Rather than looking for boundaries, still so much firepower to come. Hundreds are brilliant, stats are great, but it has to be team first,” Doull had said during the ongoing Pakistan Super League game.

After Shadab’s dismissal, it was all-rounder Faheem Ashraf who took on the Multan bowlers and scored a half-century in just 26 deliveries, including two maximums, helping his team chase down the total on the second last delivery of the 20th over. With this win, Islamabad United secured their sixth victory in the PSL 2023 and are now placed second in the Pakistan Super League points table with six victories in nine games.

Mohammed Shami's Brilliant Performance

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia has been an intense contest, with both teams showing their mettle on the field. The fourth and final Test of the series was played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where the visitors made a solid start in the first hour on Day 1. However, the Indian team managed to make a comeback after Mohammed Shami cleaned up Marnus Labuschagne before the lunch break.

Steve Smith, who was leading the team in the absence of Pat Cummins, won the toss and decided to bat first on what was arguably the best batting track of the series. His side made a steady start to the match on the back of a solid opening partnership between Travis Head and Usman Khawaja. However, India clawed their way back into the game by dismissing Head after the drinks break.

The Indian spinners, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, bowled a few disciplined overs, but Rohit Sharma decided to bring back his ace fast bowler, Mohammed Shami, into the attack. This decision turned out to be a masterstroke as the veteran pacer cleaned up Marnus Labuschagne.

The dismissal of Marnus Labuschagne was a result of the movement off the deck, which caught him inside the crease, and the ball castled his stumps after deflecting from the inside edge of his bat. Shami’s impressive performance on the field earned him a spot in the playing XI at the expense of Mohammed Siraj, who was dropped for the third Test in Indore.

It was not just the brilliance of Shami’s bowling that made him stand out in the Ahmedabad Test. It was also his ability to bounce back from a tough situation. Shami had been dropped for the third Test in Indore after an underwhelming performance in the second Test in Melbourne. However, he did not let that affect his confidence, and he returned to the field with renewed energy.

Mohammed Shami’s brilliance on the field in the Ahmedabad Test played a crucial role in India’s comeback against Australia. His impressive performance earned him a spot in the playing XI and proved to be a masterstroke for the Indian team. With the series level at 1-1, it remains to be seen who will come out on top in the final Test. India will be hoping that Shami can continue his impressive form and help them clinch the series.
