Twitter reacts to new BBL rules in an absolute meme fest

The Big Bash League administrators announced today that a new set of rules have been included for the upcoming season of the league to make it more interesting and exciting for the fans. The fans on the other hand seemed to have had the funny side of the ‘rules’ as most of them found it comparable to gully cricket in India. 

The memes related to the new rules have already started creating a buzz on the internet. While some Twitter users suggested the Big Bash authority to make some more new rules by taking inspiration from the unwritten gully cricket rulebook, others claimed that the same person who created the Dream XI advertisements during the IPL (in which Indian players were seen playing gully cricket and looking perplexed over the rules of the game) has advised the BBL authorities about the new rules. 

However, the best reaction came from former India Test batsman and currently the batting coach of IPL side Kings XI Punjab, Wasim Jaffer who used one of the popular memes, a dialogue from the OTT rage series - Mirzapur, to register his bewilderment about the new rules.

Ashwin helps KL Rahul practice to prepare for Australian bounce

The Indian team is leaving no stone unturned to prepare for the series they believe is one of their toughest challenges. After clearing the first round of COVID-19 testing, players have been exempted to train outdoors and prepare specifically for certain challenges they will face in the series against Australia. BCCI social media team has been very active in dishing out information for fans across the world as the players are behind closed doors to prepare for a widely anticipated series. In the latest video released by BCCI on Twitter, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and the wicketkeeper-batsman for the Limited overs series, KL Rahul were active in an unusual mode of practising. KL Rahul could well be practising to master the art of playing against tennis ball bounce which can be found in some of the pitches in Australia. Ashwin was serving Rahul balls that bounced in different directions and Rahul was seen repeating pull shots, one after another. The focus of Rahul was to keep the ball down and his wrist work was on full display in the video released by BCCI on Twitter. Earlier, Ashwin was seen finetuning his guile and flight of the ball. The off-spinner will meet a certainly more challenging Aussie batting line up than he bowled against during the last tour and he seems to be giving it all in order to be at the best against them. Indian team reached Sydney on November 12 straight from the IPL in the UAE and have been in quarantine since that time. The tour will officially begin with the ODI on November 27 followed by a three-match T20 series and four-match Test series.

Ishant Sharma on course to be fit for Australia Test series: Report

Leader of the Indian pace attack in Tests, Ishant Sharma is working hard to get back to full fitness in order to return on the field in the upcoming tour of Australia. He has been in close consultation of the head coach of the Indian U-19 team, Paras Mhambrey at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. As per a report by news agency ANI, Rahul Dravid who now heads the NCA has taken upon himself to make Ishant fit for the Test series against Australia starting December 17. "As NCA head, Dravid has informed the board that Ishant is working with Mhambrey to be fit in time for the Test matches. Ishant will definitely have a big role to play and his presence will not just give India another strike bowler, but also his experience will bring a lot to the table in Kohli's absence," ANI quoted an unnamed source as saying. Ishant was not included in the Test squad for the series against Australia but the selection committee had put his name on the watchlist of the BCCI medical team. He may well come back into the Test team but team management will be wary of his rushed comeback to bowling. Earlier in the year, he was suggested rest for 6 weeks by the physio of the Delhi Ranji team to heal his ankle but he expedited his recovery plans and took the flight to New Zealand after passing the fitness Test. He featured in the first Test and grabbed a five-wicket haul before the ankle injury resurfaced to cut short his participation in the series that India went on to lose 2-0.
