With 871 rating points, Kohli is at the top followed by Rohit (855) and Pakistan's Babar Azam (829).

Labuschagne had played one Test against India in Sydney during the 2018-19 series and the eagerly-awaited four-match series in December will be an acid test for the fast-rising batsman

The Test series will begin with the opener at Gabba on December 3, followed by a pink-ball affair at the Adelaide Oval. The Boxing Day Test and the New Year's tie will be played at the MCG and Sydney respectively. 

According to Bishop, Bumrah is one of the few fast bowlers in the world who is equally lethal regardless of the format of the game. 

The Indian pace quartet has been immensely successful over the past two years.

Mohammed Shami, along with Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma is the premier new-ball bowler for the Indian team.

Aakash assumed the scenario of India having to play T20I and Test series in Australia at the same time. And, giving more importance to the Test format, Aakash picked the crucial players for the longer format. 

Jasprit Bumrah has called Lasith Malinga the 'best yorker bowler in the world'.

Kumar Sangakkara also picked Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon as currently the best spinner in the world.

While he opined that he doesn't have a problem with restrained celebrations, he did express his concern over the no-saliva rule saying that it will be difficult for the bowlers especially with cricket turning into a more batsman-friendly environment. 

Jasprit Bumrah said that the Dukes ball helps the bowlers with "grounds getting shorter and wickets getting flatter."

In a conversation with Ian Bishop and Shaun Pollock, Jasprit Bumrah opened up on his unusual bowling action.

Bumrah has so far played 14 Tests for India picking 68 wickets at 20.30. He also featured in 64 ODIs taking 104 wickets in 24.40. And is among the three Indian bowlers to have taken 50-plus wickets in T20Is.

The BCCI office-bearers are expected to announce the final nominations for the men's and women's categories later this month but the Gujarat pacer's stupendous performance in the last four years makes him the most worthy candidate.

Holding also reckons that with his short run-up, Bumrah may not hold for long

Rahul, who has shared the dressing room with Chris Gayle in RCB, described the swashbuckling West Indian batsman as a smart cricketer.

Speaking with Aakash Chopra, Akram spoke about his journey in the County circuit and also said that times have changed and the Indian team plays round the year and it is important that someone like Bumrah rests his body so that he can return to action fresh and strong.

Bumrah shared a 36-second video of the hot-shot AC Milan forward on his Twitter handle where Ibrahimovic is heard as saying that he does not live a "social media life".

Aakash had compiled the team with the condition that he can choose only one player from each country.

Razzaq also clarified that his "baby bowler" comment against lead India pacer Jasprit Bumrah was misconstrued.
