NEW DELHI: The pitch curators at the Chepauk came up with a perfect and balanced strip for the first India vs Bangladesh that saw a good competition with bat and ball.
While the start of the Test saw assistance for the seamers, the surface aided the spinners as well throughout the Test. The third day of the match also saw two hundred being scored by the Indian batters.
For India, alongside R Ashwin, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill tons, bowlers too made their mark with both pacers and spinners making good use of the surface and conditions.
Lauding India’s clinical win over Bangladesh, former Pakistan batter Basit Ali heaped praise on pitch curators for providing a good Test pitch.
Along with praising the India curators, Basit hit out at the Pakistan Cricket Board for providing poor playing surfaces in the country.
“Bumrah picked 5 wickets in the game, Ashwin took 6 wickets, Jadeja clinched 5, Siraj took 2 and Akash Deep claimed 2 wickets. This is the account of 20 wickets. The bowlers ticked all the boxes. India played two spinners, keeping in mind that the ball will spin and it happened. So the credit goes to the pitch curators, who know how to make a Test match surface. Not like us… I am not going to that side but I am filled with anger,” said Basit Ali on his YouTube channel.
“In our nation, they say there is no value of pitch. They are illiterate people. The one who have played cricket with pride are there on the Board (PCB). This is what I get angry. What are you teaching to kids.
“50 per cent of the issue is solved if you read the pitch well, ask Sunil Gavaskar and Javed Miandad. But they don’t understand,” he added.
The win was India’s 7th in the current World Test Championship cycle as Rohit Sharma and co. tightened their grip on the top spot in the table.

India’s win in Chennai and the 12 WTC points mean that they moved to a percentage of 71.67%, extending their lead on Australia in second (62.50%).
Bangladesh, who had jumped to the fourth position following an exceptional 2-0 win against Pakistan, dropped to sixth place (point percentage of 39.29%) behind Sri Lanka and England after the defeat.

Khali picks himself over Stone Cold Steve Austin

The Great Khali picked himself over Stone Cold, that goes to show just how much confidence he has in his abilities. However, he might be the only person who holds that opinion. Stone Cold Steve Austin is perhaps the greatest wrestler of all time. His legendary feud with Vince McMahon defined an era and helped WWE reach unreal heights.
The Great Khali on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. He stood out because of his unreal size, which allowed him to dominate in the ring. But, Khali lacked mobility and was not a good worker in the ring. Moreover, his mic skills were non-existent, which never allowed him to connect with the WWE crowd.
Throughout the course of his career, Khali won the CWE Heavyweight Championship and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. While this is a decent resume for almost any other wrestler, it cannot be compared to the accolades that Stone Cold Steve Austin built up during his time in the ring.
Some would even say that The Great Khali is not the greatest Indian wrestler either. More often than not, people pick the former WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal for that spot. During his time with the company, Mahal won The United States Championship, the WWE 24/7 Championship twice and the WWE Championship. However, if it wasn’t for Khali paving the way for Indian wrestlers in WWE, we might not have a Jinder Mahal to talk about.

You might be called to address emotional baggage or unresolved issues that have been lurking in the shadows. It’s a perfect time for healing and closure.
Leo, get ready to shine—just not in your typical loud and proud way. The Mini Moon will urge you to focus inward, letting your inner world take center stage for a change.

This lunar event encourages deeper soul-level cleaning.
Libra, ever the diplomat, will need to balance inner and outer harmony during the Mini Moon.
