Sandeep Patil delivers victory mantra to Team India
The Indian team has to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia from November 22. For the first time, BGT will play five Test matches. This has never happened before. India has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the past four times, two of which were won in Australia and won the tricolor. But it won’t be easy for the Indian team this time. India swept the Test series against New Zealand at home 0-3. This dealt a big blow to India’s chances of qualifying for the World Tests. Now, Sandeep Patil, who won the 1983 ODI World Cup with India, has made an important statement. He said, before winning the World Cup, we lost all the practice games. Therefore they should be remembered. You have to think positively and play the same way, only then you will get better results. If you play defensive cricket and think about winning, it’s not going to happen.

The World Test Championship continues with India trailing New Zealand in three consecutive games. Meanwhile, former India captain Virat Kohli has suffered a huge shock. This day, not seen in testing for ten years, finally arrived today. We are talking about the Test rankings released by the ICC.

ICC rankings undergo drastic changes again
After the disastrous defeat to New Zealand in three Test matches, the ICC has once again announced the Test match rankings.

However, if we talk about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the two star batsmen are now far away from the top ten. Now it seems that his comeback will be very difficult. In the Test rankings released by the ICC, England’s Joe Root still occupies the first position. His rating is 903. There are currently no challenges ahead of him.
