“Test cricket is currently in ICU and has been put on ventilator”- Aakash Chopra said about the red ball format.
Many former and current cricketers have criticized Cricket South Africa for preferring SA20 over Test cricket. Regarding this, Chopra has said that the Test cricketer is now in ICU and has been kept on ventilator. He also criticized Pakistan for leaving out Shaheen Afridi from the third Test against Australia to manage his workload ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) starting in early June and the T20 World Cup. Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement regarding test format In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Test cricket is currently in the ICU and has been put on a ventilator. First of all, there are a handful of teams playing Test cricket and even among them there are only three teams left that can afford to play Test cricket. South Africa announced its B team against New Zealand. The reason is that SA20 is about to start, it is their domestic T20 tournament.” Aakash Chopra further said, “Two Test matches of the WTC cycle have come this time. He said let’s leave the Test match and they will play in SA20, from (Aiden) Markram to (Kagiso) Rabada, everyone should be available there (SA20) and the rest of the kids can play Test cricket.” Aakash Chopra was surprised to see that Pakistan decided to give Shaheen Afridi a break after losing the first two matches of the series.

“If he gets out early”- Aakash Chopra told Team India’s plan to win the second test match.
In the first Test match played at Centurion, Elgar scored 185 runs and the African team defeated the visitors by an innings and 32 runs. Rohit Sharma and Co. will hope to better their performance in the second and final Test starting in Cape Town on Wednesday, January 3. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that if India get rid of Elgar early then they can take advantage of South Africa’s ‘weak’ batting. Aakash Chopra said that, “The news from South Africa is that Temba Bavuma is not there. This is Dean Elgar’s last test match and he is going to play as a captain. He also said that forget about runs, his eyes are on the trophy. So he will be very excited about it.” The former opening batsman further said, “I still feel that the South African batting is weak. If you remove Dean Elgar, it seems that batting is very normal, but it is very difficult to remove Dean Elgar, he does not get out that easily.” Aakash Chopra believes that if India has to win the second Test match, the batsmen will have to perform well here. He said, “I still think that if India has to do well, they need to bat well. He will have to play five seasons. The truth is that South Africa batted a little more in one innings, while India batted completely in two innings.”

SA v IND: African bowlers got more help than Indian bowlers – former cricketer told the main reason for the defeat
In the Centurion Test, India lost by an innings and 32 runs. RSA v IND (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that the South African fast bowlers got more help from the Centurion pitch than the Indian bowlers. Explaining the reason behind this, he said that African bowlers are taller than Indian bowlers due to which they got more help and bounce from the pitch. The African team defeated the visiting team by an innings and 32 runs on the third day of the first Test in Centurion on Thursday, 28 December. They bowled out Rohit Sharma and company for 245 and 131 runs in their two innings. On the other hand, Indian bowlers were seen struggling against the African batsmen and due to this South Africa scored a huge score of 408 runs. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement after losing the test match against South Africa Reviewing the match in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra claimed that the relatively short Indian bowlers could not take advantage of the conditions. He said, “There was a lot of help (for the bowlers) on this Centurion pitch. Some balls went up, the way Dean Elgar got out on the ball of Shardul Thakur or the way Yashasvi Jaiswal got out on the ball of Nandre Berger.” The former Indian opener further said, “Since their fast bowlers are tall, they take full advantage of the conditions, which our bowlers are not able to do. Our bowlers are a little weak. He is not as tall and does not get as much help from the pitch. Which benefits the opposing team.” Let us tell you that, Jasprit Bumrah (4/69) and Mohammed Siraj (2/91), these were the two bowlers who put pressure on the African batsmen to some extent. Whereas Shardul Thakur and Prasidh Krishna together took only two wickets and gave a total of 194 runs in 39 overs. Also read: ACB announces 18-man squad for T20I series against UAE
