Under T Paine The Pain Gifted To The Native Fans
( On India’s thumping Test series win by 2-1 in Australia as the guest. )
**Gavaskar won Border lost **
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21 is kissed again by the Indian team in the successive series as the guest on the land of Australia where the series win was a big challenge but indian heroes did it twice consecutively. India kept the rubber or Border-Gavaskar Trophy again. India won the previous Test series by 2-1 in 2018. Thus India won the two Test series consecutively. But this time under Ajinkya Rahane the temporary captain who was the vice captain of the team india and replaced Virat Kohli as the captain. It is noted that india won the series by 2-1 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli in 2018 but this time he wasn’t destined to win this prestigious B-G Trophy. When india won in 2018 then the team Australia wasn’t in full fledged because their star batsmen D Warner and S Smith weren’t in the team due to ball tampering scam proven and had been banned for a year by the ICC. Yeah for any team as the guest the series win there in Australia always been a big challenge and the toughest task. India registered its 1st Test series win there in Australia after 72 years so can understand how toughest the Series win there on the land of Australia. India had to await 72 long years span to register its maiden Test series against Australia in Australia say all the bitter truth but that historic moments came when the host wasn’t equipped with its two big batting warriers- S Smith and D Warner and in form opener C Bancroft. So that Test series victory under V Kohli was in the question that the host was poor due to absence of its two biggies but this time no question. What the Australian fans and critics would say this time. This time the mirror is quite clear and there is no ifs and buts.There is no ground of any pretext this time except sheer good luck of the guest with their fair play and courage. If observe out the fact then no doubt that there was great good luck with the Indian team (avoiding 1st Test ) because morally India is a very sound nation in the world. And it is well known fact that the good luck always helps innocent, honest and brave people not cunning and sly in attitude and aptitude. The sheer good luck always helped Indian players this and that way when it required . There is a well say, ”God helps those who help themselves”. In straight we understand that the luck always helps brave people. Yeah before 2018 there was a nightmare to win the Test series against Australia in Australia for India. But india had very much chance to clinch the series win because two big inform batsmen of that time ruined and emerging C Bancroft too was in ditch with the captain and vice captain the then of Australia team. There was a big and renown bowling attack but there was a big hollowness in their bowling that they could not survive 250 plus run. Batting was ordinary with the new comers ,the captain was accidental and capable to make only 200 runs . So their bowlers had to make out only in 100 if they are claimed to be the world’s best bowling attack. But alas they couldn’t prove the extraordinary class and due to their average class bowling lost out the series by 1-2. Yeah this time despite the worthy presence of S Smith , D Warner and M Labuschagne ( accidentally a gifted cricketer ) in the batting field they couldn’t score 400 plus score in any innings of 4 test’s 8 innings against India . It reveals all the bitter truth of batting cracks. On some occasion these batsmen played well but they were averaged and inconsistent. If talk about their so called quality bowling attack then it is also in big question this time too. There was the same bowling attack of 2018. But it was exposed that the bowling attack’s strength was limited . It can not survive 250 run. If there is a great quality bowling attack then it is to believe that it must restrict the rival under 150 run. Yeah that hollowness was raveled when the Virat and company won series there in Australia in 2018 and the same thing happened this time . For the Australia tour 2020-21 G-B trophy Virat was the captain of the team but he was available only for the 1st Test. He captained ODI series and T20 series in which india lost one dayer series but won T20 series . And due to personal reason ( due to his wife’s praganancy and the date of 1st issue. ) quitted the Test schedule of three Test after playing as the captain the first Test. In the 1st Test India suffered an indigestible ridiculous and miserable defeat and slapped for its humiliated 36 all out . Virat put India in a whirlpool because India lost out the first Test under his captaincy and the challenge was to come back in the series which was tougher in the absence of world best Test batsman and captain. For rest of the three Tests the big and challenging responsibility was on the shoulders of his deputy Ajinkya Rahane and Rahane picked up this toughest task and won a great series by 2-1 . He is a calm customer , soft hearted person and gentleman one so God was with him and luck assisted him in all the way throughout the three Test encounters. The 2nd Test favoured India due to the certained lucky innings of 112 in which he got good four drop chances . In the third Test wow what an epic draw the team india played in which unknown and moderate class batsman Hanuma Vihari and spin bowler R Ashwin stood like the Angad on the crease for 5 hours and thirst out the Aussies bowlers. In the 3rd Test the luck was also merciful with the Indian team that the sheer bowling attack couldn’t make crack even it couldn’t make out the average class batsmen and remained unable despite of striving a lot . Yes one or two chances were created by the bowlers but this kind of bowling attack expected more chances as per their will. It was cleared that the Aussies bowlers perplex a lot against the Indian batsmen and no one seemed to pour out extraordinary effort except P Commins and for his marvellous performance adjudged Man Of The Series. But his compatriots remained failure particularly in the 4th Test. P Commins created some great chances but the fielders and the wicket keeper couldn’t endorse out those vital chances and that chances opened outb the way for opponent’s victory. We know if the chances aren’t converted into success then that make bowlers frustrated and nervous. Clean bold is the fairest out mode in cricket but it is rarest too. If the bowler bowl with 180 kmp plus then it is possible in maximum number. But to be a man it has limitations in power and it is beyond the thinking . So the bowlers are mostly depended on the fielders catching.
It is dogged shame for the team Australia that it has lost against unestablished equipped team.
Yeah who paved the truimph is the question. Rishabh Panth remained the hero of the final hyper action . He played a heroic innings. Good luck was with him and his racklessness awarded him the great credit for this schintilaring victory. Though cricket is a team game and each one’s performance is the matter and can be said supplementary to each other . Without support of all eleven cricketers the win isn’t possible. Yeah Rishabh Panth is in a great buzz for this unbelievable victory but whom we do credit rather equally to Rishabh Panth. Yeah the first ones are it is the pair of Shardul Thakur and W Sunder whose unbelievable partnership of 100 plus runs is above all that kept india to fight and rest at the prime position played great role in the win. India was in great trouble and was in shattered situation and the host Australia was looking to take a huge lead. But this duo (Thakur- V Sunder ) spoiled out all the equation and put the host bowlers into great trouble. Though after their out India collapsed and the host gained 33 runs’ thinner but vital lead. In the second innings Australia was in a relaxed mode when start but with the start ruined out with its frontier batting line up one after one and lost out wicket in thinner span regularly and scarcely could make 294 run and there was a 33 runs lead they had in their lap so target was to chase 328 for India and it was thinner if the batsmen stand on the crease . And India began with the morale and grit. Though record was adverse that host never lost a match there in the 33 years span. And india never won there to chase 300 plus. Opener Rohit Sharma was dismissed earlier by world number one bowler P Commins only on 7 run. And then joined number 3 specialist and known as the replica of wall Rahil Dravid and what a determination Cheteshwar Pujara showed . What a marathon stayed there by C Pujara who faced 211 balls hitting 7 fours, scored precious most 56 run. The decisive fundamental partnership of Shubhman Gill- C Pujara desperated the host bowlers. But it was speedster P Commins who was in great rhythm dismissed C Pujara and A Rahane and M Agrawal hope kept alive for the host fans. S Gill was in a great touch and gifted his wicket to the spinner N Lyon on 91 and missed out a great opportunity to slam his maiden Test century only in 8th innings as the opener. But the young man had done his job well by reducing target thinner. And after ousted 5 leading batsmen the match was neck to neck and in a stage or shape of the One day passion . Yeah india needed 62 runs and there was no pressure of balls but it was the Test and the batsman can’t swing the bat as per will . India had sufficient deliveries to reach the target but needed to survive the wicket . Yes R Pant who was only the recognized and specialist batter was on the wicket and was in a great flow . Now W Sunder the 1st innnigs’ highest run getter with the beginning showed his class with aggregation and scored quick fire 22 runs and destroyed the strategy of the host Aussies. Rishabh Pant was too in haste and played his natural game . He played famous ‘Dilscoop’ at the verge of the certain win and got precious four run. Then W Sunder before gifted his wicket made valuable 22 of 28 deliveries in one day fashion and passion as per demand of the match and put india nearer to possible win. Yes W Sunder was clean bowled by N Lyon as number 399 prey. Then joined S Thakur but sent pavilion only on 2 by J Hazelwood but it was too late. Then N Saini joined R Panth at the non-striker end but Rishbh Pant was in a difference mood and hit out daring boundary on J Hazelwood and awarded a great series win in Australia yeah only 2nd time in the 74 year history of bilateral series. Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 89 run by facing only 138 deliveries at the crucial and risky stage and for his stoic and heroic adjudged Man Of The Match . By this courageous innings at the prior stage he gifted a great series win and won the heart of millions fans. If talk about this series win that this time critical points of view absolutely an unobjectionable win because the host was at its best and formidable .
In 2018 there was the same bowling attack and at that time the batsmen of Australia couldn’t give good competitive score to make out rival and same thing has repeated here . But for this kind of bowling attack and on their home soil it is miserable and lamenting and the raising fingers or questions are liableb on this bowling attack. The Aussies must have to call fresh bowling attack or need to select reliable batsmen who could give survival run score to their so called great bowlers. S Smith , D Warner and M Labuschagne are the big names but not seemed as consistent as they are known. The Aussies need a great captain not accidental captain T Paine. Yeah they need who can lead with the front by brain, strategy and intense individual performance. T Paine is an ordinary leader who couldn’t win despite of good team and amazing on his home land.
