Ponting Ka Dhamaka: Selectors Ne Youth Ko Kyu Kiya Ignore?
Ponting Ka Dhamaka: Selectors Ne Youth Ko Kyu Kiya Ignore?
Australia ka batting collapse hua, sirf 198 runs par! Pat Cummins ne pehle batting karne ka faisla kiya, lekin Ricky Ponting ka dimaag hil gaya! Kya selectors ko samajh nahi aata? Sirf purane khiladiyon ko kyun? Steve Smith ne 71 runs banaye, jabki Hasan Mahmud ne 6 wickets le kar sabko hila diya! Bangladesh ab 96 par 1 hai, kya yeh acceptable hai? Mujhe jawab chahiye!

Hasan Mahmud Obliterates Australia, Snags Smith Like a Pro
Yo, Hasan Mahmud just pulled a major power move on August 13 in Darwin, totally obliterating Australia by taking down Steve Smith like it was a casual Tuesday. Smith was cruising at 71 until Hasan hit him with a cheeky short ball, and boom, into Litton Das's hands he goes! Australia flopped to a pathetic 198, their worst ever against Bangladesh. Hasan's on fire with 42 wickets in just 15 matches!
