India tour of Australia 2018-19 | News & Updates

Siraj was good for test only in Odi n T20 he'll give 50+ runs to opponent.. Not a wise decision to drop Bumrah n siraj as replacement

I didn't remember somewhere I was read news that BCCI will take rest to Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah & Bhuvneshwar Kumar for IPL 2019

Its not entirely BCCI'S decision , players themselves can withdraw from IPL . It's just individual priority that we shall see who wants IPL over world Cup

100 percent not.its purely team who buys the player will pressurise the player to play in ipl.it may not apply to foreign players because they won't obey them.

It would be great if all the key players would get rest in first half of ipl and play only in second half only to get enough match practice before the world cup 2019

Team India members awarded bonus after Australia series win

Fully deserved!

Virat went for an improbable win at Adelaide, 4 years ago (and almost got it but couldn't mainly due to rigid and unreasonable stand against DRS from the original captain of that tour). I'm a die-hard fan of him since then. In the next 4 years, many times he indicated, test cricket (specially against SENA countries) is his priority than anything else.
Not surprised at all, when he ranked this series win above WC wins.

Even I didn't like MS's stand on DRS. When the whole world was using technology, it was stupid being rigid on it, that too having seen what happened in the previous Australian tour. Thanks to Virat and management, we are at least using it now.

(Like it or not), Ganguly often used to mention about MS's uninterest in Test matches. He seems to be more easy (walk in the park, to be precise) in limited overs.
I already mentioned his DRS stand, another decision of his I can never forget (already mentioned many times). In WI, against the not-so-competitive bowling attack, he chose to end play when only 86 runs needed in 15 overs with 7 wickets in hand!!!! That day I perfectly presumed, the beginning of darkest era of Indian test cricket. Was I right? Well, more than that. Soon we lost 8 tests on a trot.
