Talking about first Ashes 2023 Test where Australia defeated England, ex-India cricketer Virender Sehwag said, "Test cricket is Best Cricket." Praising Australia captain Pat Cummins for his knock of 44* in second innings, Sehwag stated, "Cummins is...new Mr Cool in Test cricket." He added it was one of the best Test matches he has seen in "recent times".
