BCCI recently announced Team India for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Since this T20 World Cup will be played in West Indies and USA and keeping in mind the pitches there, the team management has given more importance to spinners than pacers. The Indian teams announced for the T20 World Cup 2024 include four spinners and four pacers.
Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja have been included in the spinners. At the same time, confidence has been expressed in Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya as pacers. Rohit Sharma was asked a question regarding this in the press conference. Rohit Sharma has also answered this in his own style.
Rohit Sharma Said in the press conference, “I definitely wanted four spinners. We have played a lot of cricket in West Indies. We know the conditions and the match will start at 10-10.30 am. There is quite a bit of technical aspect involved. I am not going to tell the reason publicly right now. Want to field Hardik as a fast bowling all-rounder. Axar and Jadeja also bat well and Kuldeep and Chahal are aggressive spinners who give us good balance.”
With the tournament starting amid uncertain pitch conditions, Sharma stressed the need for adaptability and flexibility in match strategy. They said that, “Don’t know how the pitch will be in America. We are playing in West Indies but at different venues. You also have to look at the combination of the opposition team.
One thing we noticed was the middle-order hitting. Our top order hitting is okay, not that bad. We wanted someone to play this role freely in the middle overs, without worrying about who was bowling.”
AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
