The fourth Test between India and Australia will begin on Thursday in Ahmedabad with hosts aiming to book their place in the ICC World Test Championship final with a win.
Rohit Sharma praised the inexperienced Australian duo spinner Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnemann. He believes that they have complimented an attacking spinner like Lyon quite well.
"You want to get your best you want to do your best in all four games you don't want to stop by winning just two games it is just as simple as that. Rohit Sharma replies to criticism after Ravi Shastri called India overconfident.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian PM Anthony Albanese will watch day 1 of the final test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ahmedabad on March 9.
While Australia currently trail India 2-1 and have failed to regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy they so dearly crave, they showed plenty of spirit winning their first Test match on Indian soil since 2017 when they registered a comprehensive nine-wicket triumph over their rivals in Indore.
Dravid said that challenging wickets were a "part of the game" with the talk around pitches raging after the Indore pitch for the third Test received a "poor" rating from ICC.
In a viral video shared by Indian opener Shubman Gill, India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen celebrating the festival of colours on Tuesday ahead of fourth Test match against Australia.
Germany, who have won the Men's Hockey World Cup thrice in 2002, 2006, and 2023, will be looking to continue their rich vein of form. They are currently fifth in the FIH Hockey Pro League 2022/23 rankings with eight points from four games.
Kohli has managed just 111 runs from five innings during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar against Australia and will once again come up against the same opposition should India clinch the final spot in the World Test Championship decider with a victory in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad this week.
Todd Murphy has been a revelation for Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. His performances have been consistent throughout the BGT series. Australia's Assitant coach Daniel Vettori and the stand-in captain Steve Smith praised him for his extraordinary performance.
Steve Smith stood in as captain for Australia after Pat Cummins flew back home after the second Test in Delhi. Cummins will remain at home in Sydney to be at the side of his mother Maria, who is in palliative care due to breast cancer.
