Rishabh Pant Was My Skipper at Delhi Capitals – Mitchell Marsh
Nathan Lyon says Virat Kohli will strengthen the batting line-up with Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Mitchell Marsh picked Rishabh Pant, describing him as a good, light-hearted player.
“It would be a pretty strong batting line-up with Smith, Marnus and Virat in the top order,” said Nathan Lyon.
“Rishabh Pant. Batting at No. 5, he is a very good hearted, young man. He was my captain at Delhi Capitals, he’s a ripper,” said Mitchell Marsh.
Jasprit Bumrah is a Three Format Player – Scott Boland
Travis Head chose India captain Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli for his aggressive batting style at the top of the order. And Scott Boland named Jasprit Bumrah and described him as one of the best bowlers in the world in all three formats.
“I’ll go with Rohit Sharma at the top, he bats quite aggressively, doesn’t he? I’m happy with an aggressive guy. You’d think a generic answer like Virat, I’ll go the other way. Rohit is at the top,” said Travis Head.
“I will pick Jasprit Bumrah. He is a three-format player and one of the best bowlers in the world,” said Scott Boland.
Talking about BGT 2024-25, Team India is 0-3 against New Zealand in their home series. India will be without captain Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out of the Test series for the birth of his second child. Shubman Gill broke his thumb during a simulated match against India A.
The upcoming five-match Test series will be crucial for defending champions Australia, who have also qualified for the finals of the 2025 World Test Championship. The first Test will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth, starting on Friday, November 22. It should be noted that Australia lost the last two home Test series to India.
