03-Jan-2019•Danyal Rasool in Cape Town

03-Jan-2019•Liam Brickhill in Cape Town

For the third time in as many innings, Pakistan's senior batsman found himself bounced out by Duanne Olivier

03-Jan-2019•Danyal Rasool at Newlands

Pujara makes the case for defence

Pujara's success in Australia goes much deeper than the 30 hours he has spent at the crease so far in this series. It is the triumph of a batting genre

03-Jan-2019•Sidharth Monga in Sydney

Clash of the medium pacers: Abbas arrives on Philander's patch

Mohammad Abbas has carved a superb record in unhelpful conditions - but how will go against the master, Vernon Philander, on his home ground?

02-Jan-2019•Danyal Rasool in Cape Town

Kohli sits back and listens as bowlers dictate terms

Overseas wins used to seem like miracles to Indian fans not too long ago. With the attack the team has now, this is no longer the case

30-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

Has Jadeja done enough to be lead spinner overseas?

If Ashwin is fully fit for Sydney, and if the pitch demands only one spinner, India might have an interesting decision to make

29-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga in Melbourne

Australia slip well behind India in old-ball duel

The numbers show Bumrah, Ishant and Shami have been markedly more effective at using the ageing Kookaburra than Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood

29-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig at the MCG

Australia's MCG meltdown the best PR for Smith and Warner

28-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig at the MCG

India's perfect team effort produces near-perfect day

India burst through the tiny opening left by a side that let its guard down on a supposedly dull pitch, and that was all down to their fine planning and execution

28-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

Will the real Pakistan middle-order please stand up?

The trio of Asad Shafiq, Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed has been parched for substantial runs since MisYou, collectively managing 1838 runs at 31.15 in the period

27-Dec-2018•Danyal Rasool in Centurion

Resourceful Cummins abides with Australia's needs

27-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig in Melbourne

The year of Cheteshwar Pujara's blossoming

His place in the side has never been entirely secure, but three away hundreds in 2018 have given India's No. 3 some hard-earned and well-deserved breathing room

27-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga at the MCG
