Appeal From Sakshee Malikkh To Anurag Thakur Is Directed Towards Suspended Wrestling Boss

Bronze medallist Sakshee Mallikh of the Indian Wrestling Federation (WFI) has claimed that suspended WFI president Sanjay Singh is holding championships and issuing phony certificates, a month after the Center suspended the newly-elected panel of the WFI. Ms. Malikkh has expressed doubts about how a suspended official can embezzle federation funds and issued a warning that athletes may face problems down the road as a result of the phony certificates. Anurag Thakur, the minister of sports, has been urged to get involved in the situation by her. Sanjay Singh is illegally organizing a separate national championship to assert his dominance and sign certificates, Ms. Malikkh claimed in a post on X, despite the fact that the national wrestling championship organized by the Sports Ministry is scheduled to take place in Jaipur. Days after it was elected, the WFI panel was suspended last month due to the hurried announcement of the Under-15 and Under-20 national teams. The ministry suspended the body and added that "former office-bearers" had total control over the new body, seemingly referring to former WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.   "Even though they are not at fault, athletes who apply for jobs based on these certificates will be subject to consequences. Sanjay Singh ought to face consequences, the speaker continued.The nation's top wrestlers, including Ms. Malikkh, Bajrang Punia, and Vinesh Phogat, staged a protest in response to allegations of sexual harassment made against the former wrestling boss. Following multiple postponements resulting from legal disputes, a fresh panel election took place in December, with Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's aide Sanjay Singh emerging victorious.  

What Adjustments Will Rohit Sharma Make To Replace Rahul And Jadeja In Vizag Against England?

India's selection dilemma is severe as they look to recover from a rare home loss to England in the second Test. Ravindra Jadeja and K L Rahul suffered untimely injuries. Before England turned the tables on the formidable hosts in the Hyderabad Test, Jadeja and Rahul were two of India's top performers in the first innings. During the Hyderabad Test, Jadeja hurt his hamstring going for a quick single, and Rahul reported having pain in his right quadriceps. The home team's problems are exacerbated by the duo's unavailability; they were obviously taken aback by England's "Bazball" tactic.   With his outstanding all-around skills, Jadeja renders himself practically unreplaceable, and since recovering from surgery in September, Rahul has also emerged as one of India's most valuable hitters in both the ODI and Test formats.   Virat Kohli remains unavailable due to personal reasons and after a shock reverse in the series opener, the management will be missing him even more in Visakhapatnam where the second Test begins on Friday.With Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar added to the squad, selectors have ample options for Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid to choose from.   Rajat Patidar, who was also among the 15 in Hyderabad, is an obvious choice. With Kuldeep Yadav replacing Jadeja as the third spinner behind R Ashwin and Axar Patel, he could replace Rahul in the middle order.   Another option for India is to play one pacer for four spin options, just like England did in the first game.In that scenario, Kuldeep could replace Mohammed Siraj, and the team could then include Sarfaraz Khan or Washington to strengthen the middle order.   Sourabh can be a dark horse in that race because he is a decent batsman with a couple of hundreds in first class cricket and bowls left-arm spin like Jadeja.   There have been two Test matches played at Visakhapatnam's ACA-VDCA Stadium to date, and the pitch is typically batting friendly, at least in the first innings.   When India batted first at this location back in 2019, they amassed 502 points in the opening innings against South Africa, with Mayank Agarwal recording a double hundred and Rohit putting up a quick 176 in his first-ever Test innings.Anil Kumble, a spin legend, believes wrist spinner Kuldeep's inclusion in the eleven will be beneficial.   "Having Kuldeep will definitely help if India feels that they only need one fast bowler. Although he will make some changes, England will visit and follow their Hyderabadi model "Kumble informed the host broadcaster.   "We anticipate a quicker pace than this, and this wicket could be a turning point. Even though it moved slowly, this was a good wicket if you put in the work. India's strategy for playing against spin needs to be adjusted for sure.Additionally, I thought that the way England approached their batting rattled them, and as a result, they had to devise some unusual plans. The spin trio was under pressure from England's constant sweeping approach, so he said, "They never tried any variations so that's something I am sure they will be looking to do."   Washington, a left-handed batsman who bowls off-spin with his right hand, also has a good case for selection after demonstrating a lot of promise during his four Test career.   He played in three games in the previous home series against England in 2021 after making his debut in the historic Test victory at the Gabba.During that series, Washington took two wickets in a match that was dominated by front-line spinners Ashwin and Axar, scoring 85 and 96 not out in five innings.   The all-rounder is a utility player, according to former selector Sarandeep Singh, who witnessed Washington make his Australian debut. However, Singh would rather not make many changes to the starting eleven.   For me, it's not too tough. Kuldeep takes the place of Jadeja, and Rajat Patidar replaces Rahul. Unlike England, we do not have to play four spinners. Our strongest point when playing at home has been using three spinners and two pacers. The former spinner for India stated, "We must adhere to it.

New Zealand versus India Real-time score Musheer Khan leads India in the U19 World Cup 2024 Super Six with an outstanding hundred.

Live score for the IND U19 vs. NZ U19 World Cup 2024 cricket match: With three straight victories under their belt, reigning champions India will try to maintain their winning streak when they play New Zealand in their U-19 World Cup super six stage match on Tuesday.India will have the added benefit of playing on Tuesday at the Mangaung Oval, where they have played all three of their current matches, having advanced to the super six stage as the leaders of Group A.Conversely, New Zealand moved here from East London and will need to swiftly adjust to the environment. India defeated Bangladesh, Ireland, and the United States with relative ease. The 'Boys in Blue' performed admirably in the next two games, despite the record five-time winners' slight batsmanship versus their Asian opponents in the first game.The fact that at least one or two Indian hitters raised their hands and accepted responsibility for scoring runs is what makes them the best on the squad. Third batter in the order The Mumbai batter who has been a regular in the lineup, Mursheer Khan, is the younger brother of Sarfaraz. After the group stage, Mursheer is the third-highest run scorer in the tournament with a century and a fifty.Since he hasn't been able to build on his two starts in the past two games, Adarsh Singh will be hoping to score a lot, while fellow opener Arshin Kulkarni will be feeling quite confident following his incredible century. Uday Saharan, the captain, has had a significant innings and will try to keep it up.Naman Tiwari, a left-arm pacer, has shown exceptional skill with the ball when bowling. In the next two games, he has taken four wickets apiece after going wicketless against Bangladesh. Saumy Pandey, a left-arm spinner who aims to target the stumps with reasonably accurate deliveries, has also shown promise. He currently has eight scalps and the second-best economy (2.01) in the competition. New Zealand had two victories from three games to finish second in Group D. In the tournament, the Kiwi batting lineup has not fared well.They managed to win by a whisker against Afghanistan, where they were chasing a meek 91 runs, but they lost badly versus Pakistan, losing by ten wickets, being bowled out for 140. The onus will be on the Kiwi hitters to support the bowling unit against a strong India lineup. Every team will carry over the points and NRR they earned against other Super Six qualifying clubs, thus both sides will also be monitoring their NRR. The Groups: India: Aravelly Avanish Rao, Saumy Kumar Pandey, Murugan Abhishek, Innesh Mahajan, Dhanush Gowda, Aaradhya Shukla, Raj Limbani, Sachin Dhas, Priyanshu Moliya, Musheer Khan, Aravelly Avanish Rao, and Uday Saharan (c).  

Ranji Trophy: Kerala is up against host Bihar.

In their Ranji Trophy Elite Group B match against Kerala on Sunday at Moin-ul Haq Stadium in Patna, hosts Bihar seized the initiative. By the time play ended on Day 3, Kerala was still 88 runs behind Bihar, who had amassed 62 runs for two wickets in their second innings through 17 overs.At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, India all-rounder Shivam Dube scored a defiant century to put Mumbai back in the match against Uttar Pradesh.Dube maintained his impressive form from the previous several weeks, hitting seven sixes and nine fours en route to 117 off 130 balls.Mumbai increased their lead to 177 runs when the left-handed batsman and all-rounder Shams Mulani put on 173 runs for the seventh wicket. Mumbai had lost the first innings lead by 126 runs.Mumbai reached 303/8 in response to UP's 324 after being knocked out for 198 in the first innings, with Mohit Avasthi (34) and Sylvester Dsouza (2) at the crease.In the second innings at Patna, hosts Bihar led Kerala by 88 runs after they reached 62/2. At the Moin Ul Haq Stadium, Kerala made 227 runs when they batted first, giving the hosts an overall lead of 150 runs before Bihar was bowled out for 377. Sakibul Gani scored an additional thirty runs to help Bihar reach a respectable 150 from 225 balls, including 17 fours and two sixes.Chhattisgarh defeated Andhra by 300 runs at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Ranchi. After scoring 431 in the first innings to take a 169-run advantage, Andhra restricted Chhattisgarh to 262 and declared at 150/2 to set a target of 320 runs to win. Chhattisgarh finished the third day unscathed, reaching 20 for no loss, but they will need to be cautious against an Andhra bowling attack that features an all-around player in Prithvi Raj Yarra, who took three wickets in the first innings.

Football Roundup Klopp bids adieu, chaos and platitudes for the Nix

Football is a cliché factory. They emphasize stories, divert attention from mistakes, and—possibly most importantly—provide an opportunity to minimize expectations. "I keep saying this and I know it sounds a cliché, but we take it game by game."Giancarlo Italiano, the head coach of Wellington Phoenix, said as much after his team defeated the Newcastle Jets 2-1 at the A-League summit this past weekend.Because a fixtured competition is by its very nature unpredictable, it's difficult to say exactly how you wouldn't approach each game differently, but whatever 'Chiefy' is doing, he should keep it up. Clichés originate from reality, and to borrow another expression, Wellington is currently winning like champions. Not always at their very best, but obtaining the desired outcome the difficult way. Many predicted that the Nix's promising early lead would fade in true Phoenix fashion after they were destroyed in the rematch in December, yet game by game, their title challenge continues. Though it is more likely that this will be Oskar Zawada's last gasp, his reappearance was welcome. With his contract expiring at the end of the current campaign, the 27-year-old is enticing Europe, the plague of A-League longevity. A fitting farewell present would be to fire Phoenix to glory first.In reference to cliches, what about the proverb that states that you wait a long time for a bus and three arrive at once? Alex Rufer, the captain of Nix, is having a great season. He has scored three goals in as many games. This comes from a player who, in January of last year, had to wait 107 games and 3269 days to score his first goal for the team.There was nothing mundane or conventional about the Wellington Phoenix women's team's 2-0 victory over Canberra United, from the overused to the wild.In the second half, goalie Rylee Foster sent Sofia Christopherson out for a vicious attack, causing chaos in Porirua.However, the irony will be apparent to everyone who has witnessed the event. Fear not—the chaos at Jerry Collins Stadium carried on when substitute goalie Brianna Edwards stopped the ensuing penalty with the first touch of the match.

Wasim Jaffer desires that Shubman Gill open with Yashasvi Jaiswal and that Rohit Sharma be dropped to No. 3 in the batting order.

Two Indian batsmen who are totally out of form, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, may not be selected for the upcoming Test matches if the dry spell lasts.Anticipate a few changes in the Indian side following their defeat in the first Test match against England in Hyderabad. Rajat Patidar could be a good choice for India instead of Shreyas Iyer. Iyer has been a letdown for a while, thus India's No. 5 spot is up for grabs. Despite his lackluster returns, Shubman Gill could be able to hold onto his spot because there is currently no suitable substitute for him. However, a former Indian batsman believes that Gill starting the innings rather than batting at number three is preferable.Shubman Gill, who is waiting for his time to bat at Number 3, seems to be receiving no assistance, according to former India opening batsman Wasim Jaffer. Jaffer suggested that Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, drop to No. 3 and allow Gill to start the innings. "I think Rohit should bat at number three in the second test, and Gill and Jaiswal should open. " Shubman would be better off opening the inn than waiting to bat for his turn. Rohit is an excellent spin player, so he shouldn't be too concerned about batting at number three. Jaffer tweeted, "#INDvENG."Jaffer presents an intriguing perspective, but it's also true that Gill wanted to bat at No. 3 for India after Cheteshwar Pujara was fired and Yashasvi Jaiswal replaced him as the opener. However, Gill has not truly lived up to the role since assuming it. He has a history of failure, and a few more setbacks might see him go because many talented hitters who have competed in the Ranji Trophy are waiting for their opportunity.India might substitute Kuldeep Yadav for Ravindra Jadeja and Patidar for Iyer for the two changes that they might make for the second Test. Given that the spin trio of R Ashwin, Axar Patel, and Jadeja was unable to influence the game, Kuldeep's selection is highly likely. Although Jadeja's hamstring injury forces Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid to start Kuldeep in place of the injured all-rounder, Kuldeep would have like to have taken Axar's spot.On February 2, the second Test gets underway in Visakhapatnam. It's very possible that the pitch for the second Test will be turning from day one, which will aid the spinners.Second Test between India and England: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, KS Bharat, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yafav are the probable eleven (with input from Jaffer).

In the ISSF World Cup, Divyansh Singh Panwar breaks the record.

Divyansh Singh Panwar saw from the sidelines as China's Sheng Lihao set a world record of 253.3 to win the 10m air rifle competition at the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year. Only two Indian shooters, Rudrankksh Patil and Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, were qualified for the eight-man final. Panwar was behind them.But with a final score of 253.7 on Sunday at the ISSF global Cup in Cairo, the 21-year-old Panwar smashed Lihao's global record."I felt confident in my technique and approach going into the final, and my goal was to concentrate on my shooting and score. Panwar told ISSF TV, "It is fantastic to see the hard training paying off.Panwar, who is from Rajasthan and whose father Ashok Panwar is a senior nurse staff member at Sawai Man Singh Medical College, gained notoriety in 2019 when he won multiple medals at the ISSF Junior World Cups, and then secured a quota spot for the Tokyo Olympics with a silver medal at the ISSF World Cup in China. In addition to taking home a bronze at the ISSF World Cup in Delhi and an Asian Championship gold, he would go on to capture the 10m air rifle title at the ISSF World Cup final in Putian over the next two years.The young athlete was originally ranked number one in the world and was predicted to make the eight-shooter final in Tokyo, but he ended a distant 32nd. Five months before the Olympics in Tokyo, the athlete had shot a then-world record score of 253.1 in one of the national trials.After spending some time in Delhi with his personal coach Deepak Kumar Dubey, Panwar will take a two-week hiatus from shooting to participate in a vipassana course in Rishikesh. "Divyansh recognized that despite his youth, anyone might experience failures of this nature. After what transpired in Tokyo, the vipassana course allowed him to collect his thoughts. He shot more freely and stopped worrying about his spot in the Indian team after he was able to accomplish it, according to Dubey.After the setback in Tokyo, Panwar emerged as the junior and senior national champion four months later. In 2022, he resumed junior competition as well. With shooters like Aishwary Singh Tomar, Arjun Babuta, and Rudrankksh Patil on the Indian squad, Panwar would frequently participate in the Ranking Points Only (RPO) category at World Cups. His lone appearance in the competitive category came in the Baku World Cup last year, where he finished in ninth place. He missed a spot in the final with a score of 633.1.Before being selected for the Asian Games squad last year, he earned another score of 633.0 in the Cairo World Cup while competing in the RPO category. After we worked on modifying his backbend, he did a good job acclimating to his new firearm. On days when he is not competing, we also have him fire 100–110 shots to help him unwind," adds Dubey. Panwar won the qualifier on Sunday with a score of 632.4. He was ahead after the first series in the final and narrowly trailed Serbia's Lazar Kovacevic in the second series before regaining the lead.  

England leads India by 126 runs on Day 3 of the first Test thanks to a century from Ollie Pope.

On day three of the first Test match between England and India, here on Saturday, Ollie Pope's undefeated 148 in the second innings propelled his team to 316 for six at stumps.Ollie Pope's century helped England comeback from a 190-run deficit in the first innings to build a 126-run advantage in the second. They finished with 316 for six.Despite England holding a 126-run lead with four wickets remaining and Ollie Pope reaching 148*, India's bowling coach Paras Mhambrey stated that his team was not under duress.Day 3 of the first Test began with India leading by 175 runs, with Axar Patel hoping to consolidate his position as an all-rounder and a well-positioned Ravindra Jadeja aiming for his fourth Test century. There was a great chance that England would be bowled out of the game. The host broadcaster informed Kevin Pietersen in jest at the conclusion of the day that his request for a flight on Saturday had been turned down. Thanks to a brilliant century from Ollie Pope, England not only made sure India's advantage stayed below 200, but they also built a respectable lead of 126 runs.Day 3 of the first Test began with India leading by 175 runs, with Axar Patel hoping to consolidate his position as an all-rounder and a well-positioned Ravindra Jadeja aiming for his fourth Test century.

The host broadcaster informed Kevin Pietersen in jest at the conclusion of the day that his request for a flight on Saturday had been turned down. Thanks to a brilliant century from Ollie Pope, England not only made sure India's advantage stayed below 200, but they also built a respectable lead of 126 runs.It was hardly a perfect day for England. Even Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah, two of India's top players, would concede that Pope may have produced the greatest knock by an international batsman in recent memory. In Chennai in 2021, Joe Root did indeed score a double century, but the circumstances and match setup were very different.Pope amassed 17 boundaries in an innings full of sweeps and reverse sweeps, the majority of which kept him undefeated at 148 off 208 balls. Even after Ashwin destroyed England's skipper Ben Stokes at 163 for 5, India was still 27 runs short of batting again. That's when things started to change in the contest.Ben Foakes and Pope teamed together to put together a crucial 123-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Axar Patel bowled Foakes with a low delivery, but Pope ensured that the England supporters could relax at the end of the game.What does it signify for India, though? With four wickets in hand, including Pope's wicket, England lead by 126 runs. Before they bat in the fourth innings, do they worry? According to bowling instructor Parash Mhambrey, no. We don't have a specific target in mind to chase, since our main goal is to arrive tomorrow morning, take early wickets, and lower their total."By establishing a goal, we are not placing any strain on ourselves. In his news conference following the game, Mhambrey stated, "We just want to bowl in the right places to extract turn and bounce from the wicket." Mhambrey derived his confidence from the fact that the pitch's turn is simple to negate because it is not a sharp turn.  

India defeated Ireland by 201 runs in Bloemfontein thanks to their dominance with the bat and the ball.

India defeated Ireland by 201 runs in Bloemfontein thanks to their dominance with the bat and the ball. Naman Tiwari's 4/53 and Saumy Pandey's 3/21 supported Musheer Khan's explosive century as India easily won.Despite the absence of a few important players, Australia won by 225 runs in Kimberley. They nearly reached 300 thanks to Harry Dixon's 89 before the bowlers helped Zimbabwe be dismissed for just 71.Scorecard Ireland chose to field after winning the toss. In Bloemfontein, India was in cruise control.Ireland's disciplined approach limited India's opportunities to score in the first overs. In the seventh over, Arshin Kulkarni produced India's first boundary with a free-flowing drive.Adarsh Singh opened his arms against John McNally in the ninth over after being cautious earlier. He hammered the medium pacer for two consecutive fours, but as he attempted to go for a third straight four, he was soon caught behind. While Musheer Khan continued to move the ball about, India was able to maintain a four-run average each over. When Kulkarni attempted to withdraw McNally and force the scoring rate, Ireland had another. But the stroke's lack of strength ultimately proved to be his undoing.After reaching the wicket, captain Uday Saharan and Musheer rebuilt the innings together. The first boundary of the pair's stand came in the 31st over as they batted patiently before raising their arms. After that, the scoring rate increased, culminating in a combative play during the last Powerplay. In the 42nd over, India scored 200 runs.Saharan left the game in the 45th over, having made a solid 75, but Musheer persisted till the very end. After reaching a well-deserved hundred, he and the belligerent Aravelly Avanish led India to 300. And even though India lost four wickets in the final 15 balls, a cameo from Sachin Dhas (21* from 9) made sure that the team reached the threshold.Musheer finished with 118 runs, nine fours and four sixes. Ireland didn't lose a wicket in the first overs, but the Indian bowlers also managed to keep them under check. When Saumy Pandey dismissed Jordan Neill in the sixth over, the Boys in Blue took the lead. Naman Tiwari made an instant impression in his fifth over after having trouble with his lines early in the innings. In the course of four balls, he removed Ryan Hunter and Phillipe le Roux from the game.In the second Powerplay, Ireland's innings collapsed. The opening ball of the eleventh over was a short ball that gave Tiwari another wicket. After exactly six balls, Pandey reached his second thanks to a deft stumping by Avanish. And when the disciplined Dhanush Gowda came back for his second spell, Murugan Abhishek's amazing aerial catch helped him get off to a great start.In the fourteenth over, Pandey claimed his third wicket as the wickets kept falling. Then in the fifteenth, Tiwari struck again, leaving Ireland eight down. Ireland managed to hold on for a little while longer thanks to a strong ninth-wicket combination between Daniel Forkin and Oliver Riley, but an overwhelming Indian victory appeared certain. In the 29th over, Ireland was dismissed by bowling. Musheer Khan's game-winning ton earned him the title of Player of the Match. India has easily won Group A with its decisive victory.    

Carlos Alcaraz fails to make it to the Australian Open semifinals, while Rohan Bopanna rises to the top of the world rankings.

AFC Asian Cup, Africa Cup of Nations, and ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup were among the other significant club events that continued.The eagerly awaited India versus. England Test series continued to grow. Meanwhile, Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden advanced to the Australian Open semifinals, where they secured the top spot in men's doubles tennis in Australia. In the men's singles quarterfinals, Daniil Medvedev and Carlos Alcaraz played their respective matches; the former advanced while the later crashed out. The AFC Asian Cup 2023 went on, however India's football squad was eliminated on January 23 following a defeat to Syria, meaning they were unable to compete in it any more. Important matches will also be held at the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations. On Wednesday, January 24, 2024, Pakistan defeated Nepal by five wickets to guarantee their spot in the following round of the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup. By crushing Namibia in their Group C match, Sri Lanka also guaranteed their place in the knockout stages. The Lankan Lions scored a meager 133 runs, but as a team they sent their opponents to the pavilion for 56 runs. Separately, West Indies defeated Scotland by five wickets, needing just 35.1 overs to chase down a score of 200 or more.The way in which the English Cricket Board handled the Shoaib Bashir visa issue has drawn criticism from former Indian cricket player Venkatesh Prasad. According to Prasad, the ECB disregarded the proper procedures and then complained about them. "In the UK, his visa needed to be stamped. Thinking it would be stamped in a third nation, the ECB sent Shoaib Bashir to the United Arab Emirates. It's traditional English practice to not follow basic protocols, make assumptions, and then complain about injustice. If anyone is to blame, it is the ECB," an enraged Prasad commented on X.India will play England in the opening of their five-game Test series less than 12 hours from now. Hyderabad, where the opening match will take place, is predicted to experience temperatures in the region of thirty degrees Celsius. Virat Kohli, who withdrew from the first two Tests for personal reasons, will miss the match for India.  

At the Naman Awards, Farokh Engineer and Ravi Shastri were given the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Awards.

At the glamorous Naman Awards ceremony in Hyderabad, former India wicketkeeper Mr. Farokh Engineer and all-rounder Mr. Ravi Shastri received the Col. C.K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Awards. The Naman Awards, which honor achievements in both local and international cricket, were given out on Tuesday to commemorate Indian cricket's four most recent seasons (2019–20, 2020–21, 2021–22, and 2022-23).The Polly Umrigar Award for Best International Cricketer-Men went to Mr. Mohd. Shami (2019–20), Mr. R. Ashwin (2020–21), and Mr. Shubman Gill (2022-23) in recognition of their exceptional performances.

Indias Top Players Give Ravichandran Ashwin-Ravindra Jadeja Duo Huge Applause

Anil Kumble, a former captain of India, has high praise for veteran spin twins Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin amidst the ongoing first Test match between India and England in Hyderabad. In Test cricket, the two players have taken more than 500 wickets between them; in the first innings against England, they each claimed three wickets. India has only lost four Test matches in their 49 matches together, winning 35 of them. On Ashwin and Jadeja surpassing him and Harbhajan as India's most successful Test bowling pair, Kumble hailed the achievement as "incredible".  From their first test match together to the 41st, these two spinners have been under constant pressure. It is amazing that they have survived those times and produced performances that win matches, whether it be Ashwin, Jadeja, or both," Kumble remarked.   "They have occasionally both caught five-fers. It's amazing that someone can consistently pick up five in the first and five in the second when someone else picks up five in the first. He continued, "You can't expect your team to win 30 games out of 40 when you do that."The renowned spinner added that Ashwin and Jadeja's aggressive mentality prevents the opposition batters from breathing. "These two are exceptionally intelligent. And because these two are always coming at you, it's difficult for a batter to breathe for even a single ball. The best thing about Indian conditions and spin bowling is that they are both endless. The attractive thing about these two bowlers is that they will be coming at you," Kumble said.   Kumble (281) and Harbhajan (220) had selected 501 for India in 54 Tests. In the meantime, in their 50th Test together, Ashwin and Jadeja have achieved a milestone.
