    Aus vs Ind 2020: Ajinkya Rahane’s hundred is one of the most important in India Cricket history - Sunil Gavaskar Former Indian opening batsman Sunil Gavaskar believes Ajinkya Rahane’s magnum opus hundred on the second day of the Boxing Day Test match is one of the most important in Indian cricket history. Rahane was handed over the captaincy baton after the team’s full-time skipper Virat Kohli returned to India for the birth of his child. The visitors were obliterated in the second innings of the first Test match for only 36 runs and they recorded their lowest ever score in the Test matches. The team’s confidence must have dropped down considerably after their ignominious defeat but Rahane was able to turn the tables. Rahane took his time in the initial stage of his innings as the team was in some kind of trouble at 64-3. The flamboyant batsman timed the ball to perfection and showed great resistance with the bat. Rahane played some delightful shots in his knock as he played at the top of his game. It was a captain’s knock from Rahane and it must have given a shot to his arm. In fact, Rahane looked in complete control with the bat and got his team in a commanding position. "I believe that this hundred is going to be one of the most important hundreds in the history of Indian cricket. Important because it's showing character, sending a message to the opposition that after being dismissed for 36 in the previous game, to come back in this manner, this Indian team is not going to just lie down and be walked all over," said Gavaskar on Seven network. Rahane played a marvellous knock and it was a very important innings for the team and him. In fact, Rahane promoted himself to number four position in the absence of Virat Kohli and has led from the front in the ongoing Test match. Meanwhile, India took a lead of 131 runs after they posted 326 runs on the board and a lot of credit goes to Rahane. The visitors have got the hosts on the ropes at 110-6 and Australia still trail by 21 runs. India will look to level the series at the MCG and if they can manage to win the ongoing Test match, it will give them a lot of confidence. Aus vs Ind 2020: Big admirer of Jadeja in Test cricket - Sanjay Manjrekar Former Indian batsman and now commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has heaped praise on India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Manjrekar stated that he is a big admirer of Ravindra Jadeja in Test matches and the red-ball form is his strongest suit. Jadeja played a crucial knock of 57 runs and added 121 runs with Ajinkya Rahane. The left-hander scored only three boundaries in his knock and took 159 balls to score his runs. Thus, Jadeja played as a proper batsman and backed his defence against the potent Australian bowlers. In fact, Jadeja has been in sublime form in the last couple of years as he has batted at the top of his game. The southpaw is averaging 35.26 in his Test career and he has batted with consistency. Meanwhile, Sanjay Manjrekar had earlier called Ravindra Jadeja a ‘bits and pieces’ cricketer during the 2019 World Cup. However, Jadeja had let his bat do all the talking as he had scored a majestic knock in the World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. One of the Twitter users wrote Ravindra Jadeja is the best Indian all-rounder since Kapil Dev but Sanjay Mankrekar won’t agree or like it. However, Manjrekar retweeted the quote and wrote, “Big admirer of Jadeja, when it comes to Tests, have always been for years. Test cricket is his strong suit”. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja not only delivered the goods with the bat but also he also took two crucial wickets of Matthew Wade and Tim Paine. Meanwhile, Jadeja was also in sublime form in the limited overs series against Australia but he was ruled out of the last two T20Is and the first Test match due to concussion. Jadeja had played a fine knock of 66 runs in the third ODI and then smashed 44 runs in the first T20I. India is in a commanding position as Australia are 126-6 in the second innings and they still trail by five runs. Aus vs Ind 2020: Rishabh Pant reminds me of Adam Gilchrist - Glenn McGrath Former Australian legend Glenn McGrath has compared India’s wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant with Adam Gilchrist. McGrath stated that Pant reminds him of Gilchrist as he is always looking to score runs. Pant scored 29 runs from 40 balls in the first innings of the second Test match and added a crucial alliance of 57 runs with Ajinkya Rahane. Pant didn’t play the first Test match as Wriddhiman Saha was backed by the team management. However, Saha couldn’t grab his opportunity as he returned with scores of nine and four at Adelaide. Thus, Pant made the cut into the final XI of the team. In fact, the attacking left-hander scored a blistering hundred in the second warm-up match against Australia A at the SCG. Furthermore, he had scored 350 runs in the four Test matches on the previous tour of Australia, including a fine knock of 159 runs at the SCG. Pant had scored his runs with an impressive average of 58.33. “Rishabh Pant reminds me of Adam Gilchrist as he plays. Always he playing shots and is never afraid to play any shot. If you see them at the crease, they always keep doing something,” McGrath said on the Sony Sports Network. On the other hand, former Indian fast bowler Ajit Agarkar also heaped praise on Pant. Agarkar believes Pant brings an X-factor to the table and that is why he is backed in the team. “Glenn just said that he is a bit like Adam Gilchrist. So if he’s got that X-factor why would you not have him in the team. Ok, in this game he’s batted at No. 6 so you’ll always get that from Rishabh Pant. There was bounce on that ball... it was close for him to cut. But you could see how much he’s worked on a pitch against a bowler whom players have to work hard against,” Agarkar said. There is no doubt that Pant needs to work on his wicket-keeping skills and he is expected to get better with experience. Pant dropped Pat Cummins’ catch on the third day and he will look to improve. Pant is known for his aggressive batting and he can take the game away from the opposition by getting crucial runs while batting with the tail. Australia are 133-6 and they lead by two runs at the end of third day’s play. Thus, India is in a dominating position and they will look to wrap up the Test match tomorrow. Betting tips for the second Test match between Australia and India The first Test match at Adelaide was a nightmare for the Indian team. The visitors had their noses in front after the two first two days’ play but the opening session of the third day was a disaster as they lost eight wickets for nothing. After a dismal batting performance, India will aim to bounce into the series. We have got some useful Betting tips for you which can help you in placing the right bets. We will discuss current form, head to head, stats and players to watch out for in the upcoming match. Current form: India showed decent form until they were blown away by Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. The Indian bowlers did a fine job in the first innings but the batsmen will need to come up with a better performance. Ajinkya Rahane will have a major role as the leader and it is not going to be easy for the tourists to make a comeback without Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami. Australia would be delighted with their bowling performance, which helped them clinch the first Test match. The hosts now have the momentum on their side and they will look to continue the good show. However, Australia would also want a better batting performance from their batters as they were skittled out for 191 in first innings. Head to Head stats: Total Number of Matches: 99, Won by India: 28, Won by Australia: 43, Drawn: 27, Tied: 1. Players to watch out for: Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith will hold the key for Australia in their batting order. Cummins and Hazlewood had shown their class in the last match and they will look to continue the good show. In the absence of Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami, the onus will be on experienced batsmen like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah will hold the key in the bowling department. Rankings: Australia is placed at the first position whereas India is placed at the third place. Match Prediction for the second Test match between Australia and India India was absolutely obliterated in the second innings of the first Test match at Adelaide as they were dismissed for a paltry 36. It is now going to be a herculean task for the visitors to make a comeback into the four-match series without the services of Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami. We have got Match Prediction for you which can help you in placing the right bets. We will discuss current form, head to head, stats and players to watch out for in the upcoming match. Current form: India had a horrible day at work on the third day’s play and the visitors will look to turn the tables. The tourists will need to come up with a better batting performance at the MCG to dominate the hosts. However, the Indian team had delivered the goods with the ball in the first innings at Adelaide and they would look to replicate the same. Australia would have gained a lot of confidence after their brilliant bowling performance. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood were absolutely right on the money and they breathed down the neck of the Indian batsmen. However, the hosts will look to pull up their socks in the batting department. Head to Head stats: Total Number of Matches: 99, Won by India: 28, Won by Australia: 43, Drawn: 27, Tied: 1. Players to watch out for: Ajinkya Rahane will need to lead from the front and he should also bat at number four. Cheteshwar Pujara will need to bring his best to the table. Players like KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal will also need to bat at the top of their game whereas Bumrah and Ashwin will be the crucial bowlers for the team. Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschange will hold the key for Australia as David Warner has been ruled out of the second Test. Cummins and Hazlewood will be main bowlers for Australia. Rankings: Australia is placed at the first position whereas India is at the third place. Match Prediction: There is no doubt that Australia will be favourites in the second Test match as they have the momentum on their side.
