Virat Kohli is Feeling The Pressure – Mark Waugh States After Dismissal at Indore During 3rd Test Between Ind-Aus

Indore: Virat Kohli is arguably the best batter of the generation and hence questions are asked whenever he fails with the bat. After getting his eye in at Indore during the second innings, Kohli was dismissed for 13 off 26 balls. He was trapped LBW by Matthew Kuhnemann. Following his dismissal, former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh found it hard to believe that a player of Kohli’s stature has gone without a Test century for 1195 days and 41 innings.
“I cannot believe a player of his class has gone that long without a hundred,” former Australia batter Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.
“He’s been in good touch recently, he’s batted well in one-day cricket. I know it’s not Test match cricket, but the signs have been there in his last three innings in Test cricket that he’s actually playing pretty well.
“He’s middling the ball, he’s watching the ball well, and his defence is strong. He’s just making the odd error and it’s proving costly for him. He hasn’t had a lot of luck. He makes one mistake and he’s out.
Meanwhile, India was bowled out for 163 in the second innings right on stumps after Lyon’s incredible eight-wicket haul. The host set Australia 76 runs to earn a rare test win in India after losing the first two tests of the series.
Lyon’s second-best career figures are the second best in India, too, after his 8-50 in Bengaluru in 2017. He is Australia’s highest wicket-taker in India.
Cheteshwar Pujara’s fighting 59 gave India some hope, but it was mainly 61 overs of grim cricket for the hosts.
Gunmen Threaten Messi, Open Fire On Family-Owned Supermarket

Buenos Aires: Gunmen threatened Argentine soccer superstar Lionel Messi in a written message left Thursday when they opened fire at a supermarket owned by his in-laws in Argentina, police said. Nobody was injured in the early morning attack, and it was unclear why assailants would target Messi or the Unico supermarket in the country’s third-largest city of Rosario, owned by the family of his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.
The city’s mayor, Pablo Javkin, went to the supermarket and lashed out at federal authorities over what he called their failure to curb a surge in drug-related violence in Rosario, located about 190 miles (300 kilometers) northwest of the capital of Buenos Aires.
Police said two men on a motorcycle fired at least a dozen shots into an Unico branch in the early hours, leaving a message on carboard that read, “Messi, we’re waiting for you. Javkin is also a drug trafficker, so he won’t take care of you.”
Messi has not commented. Considered by many to the greatest soccer player of all time, Messi is revered in Argentina, especially since he led the national team to the country’s first World Cup victory in 36 years in Qatar in December.
Messi currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and spends much of his time overseas, though he often visits Rosario where he has a home in the suburb of Funes. The French team posted a photo on social media of Messi training on Thursday morning.
Celia Arena, justice minister for Santa Fe province, where Rosario is located, said the attack amounted to “terrorism” by a “mafia” group meant to intimidate the broader population.
“The aim is to deliberately cause terror in the population and discourage those of us who are fighting against criminal violence, knowing that it will be an event of global significance,” Arena wrote in a social media post.
Javkin, a center-left politician in opposition to the ruling Peronist coalition, appeared to throw suspicion of complicity for the attack on both criminal gangs and federal security officials.
“I doubt everyone, even those who are supposed to protect us,” Javkin said in an interview with a local radio station.
He said that he had recently had “very strong discussions” with members of the federal security forces over the past couple of weeks demanding that they crack down on the city’s crime.
“Where are the ones who need to take care of us?” Javkin said. “It’s clear that those who have the weapons and have the possibility of investigating the criminals aren’t doing it, and it’s very easy for any gang to carry out something like this.”
The federal government’s Security Minister AnÃbal Fernández said drug-related violence was not a recent phenomenon in the city, and that Thursday’s attack was typical of what has happened there “for the last 20 years.” He said the incident was an example of how drug traffickers “have won” in Rosario, but now “we have to reverse that.”
Opposition politicians blamed President Alberto Fernández’s administration for the continuing violence in Rosario. His predecessor, Mauricio Macri, characterized the events as a warning that the country cannot “co-exist” with drug traffickers.
Messi, 35, is currently renegotiating a contract with Paris Saint-Germain that ends this year amid speculation that the soccer superstar could decide to end his career playing for one of the local Rosario clubs, Newell’s.
Messi, who this week won FIFA’s best men’s player award, could travel to Argentina later this month to join the national squad in playing two friendly matches. One takes place March 23 against Panama in Buenos Aires, while the other one will be five days later against Curacao in the northern city of Santiago del Estero.

Rana Naidu: Rana Daggubati Shares Emotional Anecdote From His Upcoming Action Series
Rana Naidu: Actor Rana Daggubati, who is gearing up for his streaming series ‘Rana Naidu’, has shared that while working on the series, he and his uncle Venkatesh Daggubati, who portrays his on-screen father, explored a different dynamic to their relationship. The actor explained: “I usually play characters that are either good or bad, but Rana is a mix of both. He lives a dark life but also works hard to support his family. Besides the name, I don’t have much in common with him. Rana in the show has a complex past and deals with anger in an extreme way. It was challenging for me because I’m usually a chill person.”
Rana plays the role of a brooding fixer in the series and will be available to stream soon on Netflix from March 10. ‘Rana Naidu’ brings together superstar duo Rana and Venkatesh Daggubati on screen for the first time.
He further mentioned: “Luckily, my uncle and I have a great relationship off-screen, so it was fun to explore a different dynamic on set. We definitely struggled with the profanity, but we focused on the time we got between action and cut to really hone in our characters, in that moment it was only Rana Vs Naga and all the rage they had between them”.

Virat Kohli’s Childhood Coach on Rohit Sharma’s Dismissal on Day 1 of 3rd IND vs AUS Test in Indore
Ind vs Aus: Following Rohit’s dismissal, Virat Kohli’s coach Rajkumar Sharma reckoned the Indian captain would have connected if he had played with the spin.
“Would have connected if he had played it with the turn” – Virat Kohli’s childhood coach on Rohit Sharma’s dismissal on Day 1 of 3rd IND vs AUS Test
Indore: Captain Rohit Sharma found himself lucky in the very first over of the third Test at Indore. Mitchell Starc got Rohit edging off the very first ball of the Test. While he did not take a review with the edge, he wrapped Rohit on his pads off the second ball and the replays showed the ball was crashing onto the stumps. After the two let-offs, one expected Rohit to make the Australians pay, but that was not to be as he perished for 12 off 23 balls. It was Matthew Kuhnemann who picked up the wicket of Rohit. The Indian captain was looking to take down Kuhnemann as he came down the track looking to clear the ropes. Unfortunately, he missed the ball and was stumped.
Following Rohit’s dismissal, Virat Kohli’s coach Rajkumar Sharma reckoned the Indian captain would have connected if he had played with the spin.
“Rohit Sharma stepped out and tried to hit the ball towards the mid-on region,” he stated. “He would have connected if he had played it with the turn.
Meanwhile, Indian batters’ longstanding struggles against spin were thoroughly exposed before Australia applied themselves on a rank turner to take control of the third Test on a frantic opening day of the match here on Wednesday. Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemman (5/16) picked up his maiden five-wicket haul as Australia skittled India out for a paltry 109 shortly after lunch on day one. Virat Kohli top-scored for India with 22 off 52 balls.
Trailing 0-2 in the series, Australia came out with a strong resolve and purpose to end the day at 156 for four, taking a 47-run lead.
Ravindra Jadeja (4/63) took all four wickets for India including that of stand-in captain Steve Smith (26 off 38) before close of play. Usman Khawaja (60 off 147) was the standout performer for Australia as he tackled the skill-full Jadeja and R Ashwin with a straight bat and soft hands.

Virat Kohli’s Reaction To Umesh Yadav Equaling His Batting Record Is Pure Gold
Indore: On day 1 of the third Test against Australia India was seen reeling as the hosts bundled up on 109 within the first two sessions of the day. Virat Kohli was India’s highest run scorer as he scored 22 off 52 balls. Australia’s left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann scalped five wickets against India in the ongoing Test match at Holkar Stadium, Indore on Wednesday.
Umesh Yadav smashed two maximus and a boundary in 13 balls, both sixes came within the space of three balls. With his second six, the pacer equals the record of Kohli. This was Umesh Yadav’s 24th Test six, which equals the maximum that Kohli has hit in Test cricket. While Kohli is on 24 sixes in 181 innings, Umesh has got there in just 64.
Former India star batter Virender Sehwag tops the tally for being the Indian with most sixes in the Test cricket (91), followed by MS Dhoni (78), Sachin Tendulkar (69), Rohit Sharma (68) and Kapil Dev (61).
Virat Kohli was seen clapping after Umesh Yadav smashed the second six and equals his record. The video got viral on twitter and here is the viral video:
Off-spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy took three and one scalps respectively as Australia’s troika of spinners shared all the wickets that fell; with the final wicket coming out of a calamitous run-out.
Being out for 109 in 33.2 overs is also India’s lowest Test total at home since 107 and 105 against Australia in Pune 2017 and is their fifth shortest innings while being all-out in-home conditions.
A fine half-century (60) from Usman Khawaja, after Matthew Kuhnemann took his maiden Test five-wicket haul, put Australia in ascendancy with vital 47-run lead on day one of third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Brief scores: Australia 156/4 in 54 overs (Usman Khawaja 60, Marnus Labuschagne 21; Ravindra Jadeja 4/63) lead India 109 all out in 33.3 overs (Virat Kohli 22, Shubman Gill 21; Matthew Kuhnemann 5/16, Nathan Lyon 3/35) by 47 runs
