Cricket Australia names Bumrah as captain in their 2024 team of the year

Apart from Bumrah, young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was also able to find a place in the team

Rajiv Shukla claims Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal was a clear mistake

BCCI vice president Rajeev Shukla on Monday slammed third umpire Saikat Sharfuddoula for Yashasvi Jaiswal's contentious dismissal on the final day of the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne, saying the India opener was "clearly not out". Jaiswal was batting on 84 when Australia skipper Pat Cummins' down-the-leg snorter cramped him for room while attempting a hook, and the home side went up instantaneously in appeal for a caught behind as Alex Carey completed a tumbling take. The on-field umpire Joel Wilson didn't relent as the Australians resorted to DRS and third umpire Sharfuddoula ruled Jaiswal out, despite no edge being registered on the Snicko, basing his decision on the available evidence of visual deflection. "Yashasvi Jaiswal was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While over ruling field umpire third umpire should have solid reasons," senior BCCI official Shukla tweeted. Sharfuddoula, the third umpire from ...

The other two players nominated for the honour are Australia's Annabel Sutherland and South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt.

Athapaththu is ranked among the top-10 players in the ICC Women's rankings for batters and all-rounders in ODIs as well as T20Is, proving her mettle with both bat and ball," said ICC in a release. "A stellar year with over 1,000 runs across formats, picking up 30 wickets as well along the way has underlined her position as one of the most impactful players in women's cricket," it added.

India missed opportunity, tough task to win Boxing Day Test: Gavaskar

Legendary Sunil Gavaskar feels India have missed an opportunity by allowing Australia's lower order to add valuable runs, making it difficult for the visitors to win the Boxing Day Test here. Australia, who were struggling at 156 for 8, finished the fourth day at 228 for 9, taking their lead to 333 and setting up an intriguing final day. "I think it was a missed opportunity because till tea time certainly it was India's day, and after tea time, (Pat) Cummins, (Nathan) Lyon, and (Scott) Boland really frustrated the Indian bowlers. At the end of the day, having got a lead of 333, it does make it a little difficult for India to win this game," Gavaskar told India Today. Australia's number 8, 10, and 11 batters consumed nearly 35 overs, with Cummins (41 off 90 balls), Lyon (41 off 54 balls), and Boland (10 off 65 balls) contributing to the team's second-innings total. "...even if half of those runs were saved and Australia had been dismissed for 60 runs less, then we're talking about .

Wanted to confute critics who doubted my ability to excel: Nitish Reddy

Nitish Reddy wanted to confute his critics and the naysayers who doubted his ability to excel in Test format, and the gritty century at the iconic MCG was his way of conveying that he belongs to highest level of cricket. A few former players, including a former chairman of selectors, were sceptical about Reddy's elevation as a Test player but with 293 runs in six innings and a batting average of 58-plus, he has answered them back in a befitting manner. Reddy's 114 formed the cornerstone of India's first innings score of 369 and attracted a lot of attention on the young batter. Did you ever feel that you will be highest scorer in this team? "Some people doubted me, like a youngster who played IPL, can't perform in such a big series. I know a lot of people did talk like that," Reddy said, sharing his frustration after the end of fourth day's play. "I just want to make them feel wrong about what they have said about me and that's what I am doing, I want people to know that I am here
