Indian cricketing icon Kapil Dev has thrown his support behind under-fire skipper Rohit Sharma, following India’s 10-wicket loss to Australia in the second Test at Adelaide Oval. Speaking at the launch of the Vishwa Samudra Open golf championship, Kapil addressed concerns over Rohit’s leadership and form.

Kapil Dev calls for patience with Rohit Sharma

Kapil, known for his candid opinions, urged patience from fans and critics alike, emphasizing that judging a captain on the basis of one or two poor performances is unjust. “Rohit doesn’t need to prove himself—he has done it consistently for many years,” Kapil said. “Let’s not doubt someone’s capabilities so quickly. His talent and ability are well-known, and I’m confident he will regain his form.”

Reflecting on recent success and future challenges

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain highlighted Rohit’s recent successes, reminding critics of India’s T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year under his leadership. “Six months ago, when he led India to the T20 World Cup title, nobody questioned his captaincy. If his form continues to dip, decisions will naturally follow, but for now, let’s trust his abilities and give him the time to bounce back,” Kapil added.

Team India‘s cricketing journey in Australia has been a story of gradual evolution, with the team facing early challenges but gradually growing in stature on Australian soil. While the early years were dominated by Australian supremacy, especially with their formidable pace attacks and the aura of players like Sir Donald Bradman, India’s competitiveness began to show in the 1980s and 90s. Over the years, the Indian team has transformed, and with each visit to Australia, they have shed their underdog status. The Indian team’s success in Australia now represents one of the most compelling chapters in the history of Test cricket.

From historic first wins to unforgettable series victories, India’s achievements in Australia have become a point of pride. The development of a strong bowling unit, the rise of players who thrive in challenging conditions, and the strategic leadership have all contributed to India’s growing success in the land of the Kangaroos. While the journey hasn’t been without its challenges, India’s consistent progress on Australian soil showcases their rise as a major force in world cricket.

Now, let’s explore how the Indian team has navigated through these challenges and emerged stronger over time.

India’s flare in Australia in Test cricket

The early struggles

India’s initial encounters in Australia were marked by considerable struggles. Their debut Test series in 1947-48 saw a comprehensive 4-0 defeat, with the Indian team failing to make an impact against a dominant Australian side. This early period in Indian Test cricket was characterized by difficulties adapting to Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches, as well as an inability to counter the aggressive Australian cricketing mindset.

Throughout the 1950s and 60s, India failed to register any significant victories, and by the 1970s, it was evident that the Indian team still lacked the firepower to compete with Australia’s cricketing giants. The absence of a world-class fast-bowling attack and a dependence on spin bowling in conditions that favored pace bowlers made India’s task even harder. The team had to rely on individual brilliance, but a collective effort was often missing.

Building momentum from the 1980s era

The early 1980s marked a turning point for India in Australia. The 1980-81 series saw India secure their first Test win in Australia, although it was not part of a series victory. Gundappa Viswanath‘s fighting ton and Kapil Dev‘s incredible spell of fast bowling, where he led India to a thrilling win in Melbourne, gave the team and their supporters a glimpse of India’s potential.

In the 1985-86 series, India managed to draw the series 0-0, a significant improvement given the tough Australian conditions. Though they couldn’t win, the Indian team displayed resilience and competitive spirit, particularly through the efforts of their batters and Kapil’s leadership. The 1991-92 series was another tough battle, where despite individual contributions, India lost the series 4-0. However, the team’s performance continued to evolve, and the emergence of players like Mohammad Azharuddin and Sachin Tendulkar showcased India’s growing potential.

The 1999-2000 series, although a 3-0 loss, saw the rise of players like Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, whose resilience would later contribute significantly to India’s success in Australia. These series laid the foundation for the eventual triumphs that would come in the new millennium.

The golden period under Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid

India’s success in Australia during the early 2000s laid the foundation for their future victories. Under the leadership of Ganguly, India started to play with a sense of confidence and aggression. The 2003-04 series was significant because it showcased the Indian team’s ability to compete on Australian soil, with remarkable batting performances, particularly from Dravid, who ended the series as the highest run-scorer.

India drew the series 1-1, with a standout performance from Dravid, who scored centuries in Adelaide and Melbourne. This was one of the first series where India’s team showed a genuine competitiveness, especially with the rise of the young players like Virender Sehwag, and a mo?re balanced approach to f??ast and spin bowling.

The 2007-08 series, though a difficult one for India with the controversies surrounding the Sydney Test, also witnessed Indian players like Anil Kumble and Tendulkar shining. Although India didn’t win the series, it was clear that the team was now a formidable opponent. The spirit displayed in these years set the stage for the monumental Test victories that would follow in the next decade.

The beginning of India’s transformation under Virat Kohli

The 2010s were a transformative period for India’s Test cricket team in Australia. The journey, however, wasn’t without its struggles. In the 2011/12 series, India faced a crushing 4-0 defeat, where Australia dominated the entire series. Despite individual performances, India struggled to adapt to the hostile Australian conditions, particularly against the pace attack and the Australian batting line-up. Similarly, in the 2014/15 series, India again lost 2-0, as Australia’s fast bowlers and a resurgent Michael Clarke led the charge. Despite some brave efforts, especially by Virat Kohli, who sco??red heavily, India fell short in both series, highlighting the gaps in their ability to co?nsistently challenge Australia in their own backyard.

However, the tide began to turn in the 2018-19 series, where India achieved their first-ever Test series win in Australia, defeating the hosts 2-1. Kohli’s leadership, combined with remarkable batting performances by Cheteshwar Pujara and outstanding fast bowling from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Ishant Sharma, led to this historic success. This victory marked a significant turning point, demonstrating India’s growth as a global cricketing power and their ability to adapt to Australian conditions.

The 2020-21 series further cemented India’s position as a Test cricket powerhouse. With a depleted squad and the absence of key players like Kohli following India’s embarrassing show at the Adelaide, Ajinkya Rahane‘s leadership saw India create history by winning the series 2-1. The final Test at the Gabba, where India chased down a steep target in dramatic fashion, broke Australia’s 32-year unbeaten record at that ground, marking a historic moment in Indian cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja attains 300 Test wickets tally

In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Ravindra Jadeja took the last wicket of Bangladesh’s first innings, m?arking his impressive 300th wicket in Test cricket. This achievement makes Jadeja the first Indian left-arm spinner and the third left-arm spinner globally to reach this milestone, a testament to his exceptional talent and hard work.

Jadeja claims a historic milestone

Jadeja not only reached the 300-wicket milestone in his 74th Test but also became the second-fastest all-rounder to achieve the double of over 3,000 r??uns and 300 wickets. He joins an elite group of only 12 all-rounders who have accomplished this feat in the history of the game.

The record for the fastest to this milestone is held by England’s Ian Botham, who achieved it in just 72 Tests, demonstrating the rarity and significance of such an accomplishment.

With this milestone, Jadeja becomes the seventh Indian bowler to claim 300 Test wickets, joining the ranks of legends such as Anil Kumble (619 wickets) and Ashwin (524 wickets).

Jadeja’s achievement also placed him among a select group of left-arm spinners with over 300 Test wickets, including Sri Lanka’s Rangana Herath (433 wickets) and New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori (362 wickets). The ??rarity of reaching this milestone as a le??ft-arm spinner makes Jadeja’s accomplishment even more impressive, as he navigates the challenges that come with this bowling style.

Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev weighed in on the potential retirement timelines of two of modern cricket’s greatest stars, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. His comments have sparked widesprea??d discussion among fans and pundits, as both players continue to excel at the highest level of the sport.

Kapil Dev’s thoughts on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s retirement plans

Speaking to MyKhel, Kapil stated that retirement is a personal choice, citing examples of Ravi Shastri, who retired early, and Sachin Tendulkar, who had a longer career. He emphasized that it’s up to each individual to decide their path in life. For him, the key is to stay fit and continue playing as long as one enjoys the game.

“Ravi Shastri retired at a very early age, while Sachin Tendulkar had a longer stint. So, it is completely up to the individual to decide their ways of life. My way of thinking is to stay fit and keep playing as long as you are enjoying the game,” said Kapil.

Kapil, who captained India to their first-ever World Cup victory in 1983, emphasized that the longevity of a player’s career is primarily determined by their fitness.

Kohli and Rohit: Legends of the modern game

Kohli and Rohit are widely regarded as two of the finest cricketers in the history of the sport. Their extraordinary partnership has led to some unforgettable moments for Indian cricket, and their combined achievements have placed them among the game’s elite.

Together, Kohli and Rohit have become one of the most iconic duos in cricket history.

Their understanding on the field, along with their ability to complement each other’s style, has been a significant factor in India’s success over the last decade.

Most recently, the duo announced their retirement from T20 Internationals (T20Is) after India clinched the ICC Men’s T20I World Cup final against South Africa in June 2024. This victory was a fitting finale for their T20I careers, as they led India? to a historic win.

Current focus: Test series against Bangladesh

While their T20I chapter has come to a close, Kohli and Rohit remain focused on the ongoing two-match Test series against Bangladesh. India currently leads the series 1-0, following a strong performance in the first Test. The second?? and final ma?tch will take place on September 27th at Green Park in Kanpur.

As fans eagerly await the outcome of the series, questions about the future of these two cricketing giants remain. However, as Kapil pointed out, the decision to retire will ultimately lie in the hands of Kohli and Roh??it. For now, Indian cricket enthusiasts can continue to enjoy the remarkable contributions of these two legends.

With their illustrious careers still in full swing, the cr?icket world is left to wonder how much more magic Kohli and Roh?it will produce before they decide to hang up their boots.

Yograj Singh, father of former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh, has once again sparked controversy with his venomous attacks on legendary Indian cricketers. In a series of scathing remarks, Yograj has targeted both Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kapil Dev, two of the most revered figures in Ind?ian cric?ket history.

Yograj Singh’s vendetta against Kapil Dev

Yograj’s latest outburst was directed at Kapil, the captain of India’s historic 1983 World Cup-winning team. In a video that went viral on social media, he launched a personal attack on Kapil, accusing him of playing a key role in his exclusion from the Indian team in 1981.

Yograj claimed that Yuvraj’s 13 major trophies in his career overshadow Dev’s sole World Cup title. “The greatest captain of our time, Kapil Dev… I told him, I’ll leave you in a position where the world would spit on you. Today, Yuvraj Singh has 13 trophies, and you have only one, the World Cup. End of discussion,” Yograj asserted in an interview with Zee Switch.

This derogatory remark has drawn widespread condemnation from fans a?nd critics alike.

Yograj continues his feud with Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Yograj’s attacks on Dhoni, who led India to the 2011 World Cup title, have been ongoing for several years. In this previous interview, he accused Dhoni of “ruining” Yuvraj’s career and vowed to never forgive him. Singh’s relentless criticism of Dhoni has raised concerns about his motivations and the impact his words may have on the young cricketer.

“I won’t forgive MS Dhoni. He should look at his face in the mirror. He is a very big cricketer, but what he has done against my son, everything is coming out now; it can never be forgiven in life. I have never done two things in life – first, I have never forgiven anybody who has done wrong for me, and second, I have never hugged them in my life, be it my family members or my kids,” he said.

A demand of Bharat Ratna for Yuvraj Singh

In one of his most controversial statements, Yograj has demanded that the Indian government award his son, Yuvraj, the Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honour in India. Singh has argued that Yuvraj’s achievements, including playing with cancer and winning the World Cup, make him worthy of the prestigious award.

Yograj added: “That man (MS Dhoni) has destroyed the life of my son, who could have played four to five years more. I dare everyone to give birth to a son like Yuvraj. Even Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag have said in the past that there won’t be another Yuvraj Singh. India should award him the Bharat Ratna for playing with cancer and winning the World Cup for the country.�?/em>
