Hello Pravat,

The comments count is displayed via a CommentsBox control, and for the Tags, you will need to add a FlatTaxonField control on your template. Basically this:

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ContentUI" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.Comments" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.PublicControls.BrowseAndEdit" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<telerik:RadListView ID="Repeater" ItemPlaceholderID="ItemsContainer" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="false">

<LayoutTemplate>

<sf:ContentBrowseAndEditToolbar ID="MainBrowseAndEditToolbar" runat="server" Mode="Add"></sf:ContentBrowseAndEditToolbar>

<ul class="sfpostsList sfpostListTitleDateContent">

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ItemsContainer" runat="server" />

</ul>

</LayoutTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<li class="sfpostListItem">

<h2 class="sfpostTitle">

<sf:DetailsViewHyperLink TextDataField="Title" ToolTipDataField="Description" runat="server" />

</h2>

<div class="sfpostAuthorAndDate">

<asp:Literal ID="Literal2" Text="<%$ Resources:Labels, By %>" runat="server" />

<sf:PersonProfileView runat="server" />

<sf:FieldListView ID="PostDate" runat="server" Format=" | PublicationDate.ToLocal():MMM dd, yyyy" />

</div>

<sf:FieldListView ID="PostContent" runat="server" Text="0" Properties="Content" WrapperTagName="div" WrapperTagCssClass="sfpostContent" />

<sf:CommentsBox ID="itemCommentsLink" runat="server" CssClass="sfpostCommentsCount"/>

<div class="sfpostCategoriesAndTagsWrp">

<sitefinity:FlatTaxonField ID="FlatFieldControl" DisplayMode="Read" BindOnServer="true" runat="server" TaxonomyId="CB0F3A19-A211-48a7-88EC-77495C0F5374" WebServiceUrl="~/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/FlatTaxon.svc" Expanded="false" TaxonomyMetafieldName="Tags" Title="Tags" ResourceClassId="TaxonomyResources" HideWhenNoTaxaFound="true" CssClass="sfpostTagsWrp" />

</div>

<sf:ContentBrowseAndEditToolbar ID="BrowseAndEditToolbar" runat="server" Mode="Edit,Delete,Unpublish"></sf:ContentBrowseAndEditToolbar>

</li>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadListView>

<sf:Pager id="pager" runat="server"></sf:Pager>

would display all the necessary infoprmation for your use case scenario, the rest should be some CSS styling (position:relative float:left) to display the tags and comments count on one line. This forum thread contains a discussion and code sample on a similar implementation, I believe you might find it useful.
