DTVHINDIIND vs NZ: Who should be given a chance in the second test between KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan, Aakash Chopra gave a big statement
The second Test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from October 24 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul (Pic Source-X) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that it is going to be a big question for Team India as to whom they will choose between Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul in the second Test against New Zealand. According to Aakash Chopra, KL Rahul’s performance has not been so good in Tests and Sarfaraz Khan has batted brilliantly in this format so far. Let us tell you that the second test between Team India and New Zealand is starting from October 24 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Brilliant batsman Shubman Gill can return to the playing XI of Team India in the second test. After the return of Shubman Gill, either KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan can be dropped from the team. Aakash Chopra has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘It has always been seen in Team India that if the player who is their first choice is completely fit and available, then his Will definitely be back in the team. Secondly, after the end of the first test, the question was raised as to who would bat at number three, although the captain and coach had said that KL Rahul would be seen batting at number 6 only and there would be no replacement in his order. There will be no change either. Rahul’s stats are not that good in Tests: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘Now that Sarfaraz has scored a century and Rahul has not made a big score in both the innings, then it is a big question as to who will be removed from the team. I have seen KL Rahul’s stats and it is not that good. The average of 33 in 53 matches is very poor. In the last 10 matches, KL Rahul has scored 434 runs in 17 innings. There is a century which he probably scored against South Africa in Centurion and an average of just 27. After seeing all this, questions will definitely be raised against him. It was easy to drop Karun Nair because there was a gap in the middle of the series. Not only this, Dhruv and Sarfaraz were also made to sit outside for a long time. At this time the question being raised is that if a player is performing tremendously then how can you drop him from the team? Rahul has scored runs at an average of only 27 in the last 10 matches. It would not be right to remove Sarfaraz.

IND vs NZ: Aakash Chopra raised questions on this decision of Rohit Sharma, said- “There was no life left in the match, then bowling to him…”
There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all – Aakash Chopra Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra, R Ashwin (Photo Source: X/Getty Images) India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test match against New Zealand. The Kiwi team has created history by winning the Test match on Indian soil after 36 years. Team India was all out for 46 runs in the first innings of the match. New Zealand had put 402 runs on the board in the first innings. India made a brilliant comeback in the second innings and scored 462 runs on the basis of brilliant innings by Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant (99) and Virat Kohli (70). New Zealand had a target of 107 runs to win, which they achieved easily. Jasprit Bumrah took only two wickets for India in the second innings. He bowled a long spell along with Siraj. After this, Ashwin was expected to come on the attack, but captain Rohit Sharma backed Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is not happy with this decision of Rohit Sharma. Didn’t understand it at all – Aakash Chopra Ravichandran Ashwin proved to be very expensive in the first innings against New Zealand, due to which perhaps captain Rohit Sharma showed more confidence in Kuldeep and Jadeja. However, Aakash Chopra believes that this was a wrong decision, as Ashwin is the most successful bowler of the team and his record against left-handed batsmen is excellent. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, There is no doubt that runs were less but we did not make Ashwin bowl at all. I am not saying that if Ashwin had bowled, we would have won the match but we did not make him bowl. It was amazing and how. Why was Ashwin not made to bowl? I don’t have any answer to that because if you look at his numbers, he is the best bowler in your team. No one has taken more wickets than him in Test matches. Left-handed batsmen were playing but still you did not make them bowl. It didn’t make any sense at all. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said that by the time Rohit Sharma handed the ball to Ashwin, the match was out of India’s hands. He said, The match was over. There was no life left in the match. There were 15 or 20 runs left and you called him to bowl. It would have been better if you had not made him bowl at all. This question should have been asked in the press conference after the match – ‘Rohit Bhai, what did you do?’. I thought India had definitely missed a trick and it was beyond me why they were not made to bowl.
IPL 2025: I don’t think SRH will give Rs 18 crore to Pat Cummins: Aakash Chopra presented his stand regarding the retention of the Australian player.
Pat Cummins took 18 wickets in the Indian Premier League 2024. Pat Cummins (Pic Source-X) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that Sunrisers Hyderabad will not retain Pat Cummins before the IPL 2025 auction. Let us tell you that Sunrisers Hyderabad had included experienced fast bowler Pat Cummins in their team for Rs 20.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Not only this, Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise also appointed him the captain of its team. Pat Cummins also did not disappoint his team and Sunrisers Hyderabad secured their place in the final of IPL 2024. Along with captaincy, he won the hearts of all the fans by giving a strong performance in bowling as well. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Pat Cummins said that he does not know whether he will come to IPL or not because there are other things. Cricket has to be played continuously and everyone’s thinking may be different because there is Ashes and World Cup also. Champions Trophy is also to be played and IPL also definitely fits somewhere in between all this. He also said that the new rule has come into effect. However, he also said that if his name is included in the auction, he will not back down. Mitchell Starc and other players have left and I feel that Sunrisers Hyderabad will not retain them. He will not give them Rs 18 crore. I feel so even though he has captained and bowled brilliantly. Pat Cummins will be released: Aakash Chopra Former player Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Pat Cummins will be released and he will not keep his name in the auction also. It is also possible that Pat Cummins may make a comeback after 6 months because it was under his captaincy that the franchise secured its place in the finals. You don’t want to be retained. You would like to go yourself.’ Let us tell you that Pat Cummins took 18 wickets in the Indian Premier League 2024. While bowling lethally, he created constant pressure on the batsmen of the opposing team.

Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former player Aakash Chopra’s case is that under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav and coaching of Gautam Gambhir, Team India has played a very aggressive game in the T20 format and this is a very good thing for all the players. Aakash Chopra also revealed that Rinku Singh had also said that the team management has asked him to bat explosively. Recently, Team India won the T20 series against Bangladesh by 3-0.

In the third T20, Team India batted first and scored a record-breaking score of 297 runs.

A new captain and coach came in and suddenly all the players were seen playing with a new attitude. In the post match interview with GeoCinema, Rinku Singh had also said that he has been asked to bat aggressively and not think about anything else. It has been told to all the players that they have to play only aggressive game and should not worry at all about the fact that wickets are continuously falling. If the team is supporting you then you will not drop: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘It is really a great thing to play big shots continuously but if a player is getting out then you also need a backup. If the player is out then he will be dropped. But if the team is supporting you then you will not drop and that is a very good thing. It looks like this Youngistan is trying to play a different game. Till now we have played against two weak teams Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. However, the team has batted consistently explosively in the first 6 and 10 overs, which is a big thing. I am happy that all the players are playing aggressive cricket and making important contributions to the victory of their team.

IND vs BAN: It seemed that Hardik Pandya was insulting the bowlers: Aakash Chopra presented his side regarding the T20 series.
Hardik Pandya was the second highest run scorer in this series. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: Getty Images) A three-match T20 series was played between Team India and Bangladesh.

Hardik Pandya performed brilliantly in this T20 series and won the Player of the Series award. He batted very well and scored 118 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 222.64. He scored these runs at an average of 59. The best thing was that Hardik Pandya was the second highest run scorer in this series. Former player Aakash Chopra has given his side regarding this performance of Hardik Pandya. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Hardik Pandya was the player of the series. He has faced a lot of trouble in his life due to personal reasons and has been criticized by many people in his professional life also. Hardik Pandya played very few balls in this series but his strike rate was above 200. This is really a big thing. His swag was also quite different. Hardik Pandya hit a six over cover and hit it with one hand towards the leg side without looking. Hardik Pandya was batting in a very different manner. It seemed that the experienced all-rounder was insulting the bowlers. Hardik Pandya has had a great performance in T20 cricket in 2024 Hardik Pandya batted very well in the Indian Premier League played this year. After recovering from the injury, he returned to the Mumbai Indians team in the IPL. Mumbai Indians appointed him as their captain in IPL 2024. However, all the fans were quite disappointed as to why the Mumbai team made Hardik Pandya their captain after removing Rohit Sharma. Many people had strongly criticized Hardik Pandya on social media. Not only this, even during the match, many people were booing for Hardik Pandya in the stadium. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy was very poor in IPL 2024 and Mumbai Indians won only four out of 10 matches. The franchise was at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. In the T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya played an important role in Team India’s victory not only with batting but also with bowling and silenced all the critics. The excellent all-rounder would like to continue his performance in future also.

“Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT” – former veteran cricketer said about Mayank Yadav
The batsmen dominated the recently concluded T20I series between India and Bangladesh. In this entire series, Indian batsmen scored a lot of runs against Bangladeshi bowlers. However, Bangladeshi batsmen could not score runs against fast bowler Mayank Yadav, who got a chance to debut at the beginning of the series. Although he took only four wickets in three matches, he constantly troubled everyone with his pace bowling. Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra recently told how the think tank of the Indian team did not delay in giving match time to Mayank Yadav. This decision of the team management proved to be right in the end. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Mayank Yadav In a video on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When we are talking about the quest of this series, we need to talk about Mayank Yadav. He has been fast tracked. He has hardly played any first class matches and came straight into the Indian team. He had recently returned from injury. He didn’t play any competitive cricket and suddenly he was playing for India.” The former batsman further said, “That is definitely one of the big positives because he is also part of the traveling reserves. I think the Indian team is thinking of taking him for BGT, at least to keep him with the team. However, I think it might be a bit early because the exposure to first-class cricket hasn’t come yet, sometimes, you go with your gut and say let’s try because that can make a difference.” Talking about his performance in all three matches, Aakash Chopra said that he was happy that Mayank not only bowled in all the matches but he was also bowled with a brand new ball in the third T20I compared to the second and fourth T20Is. It was done, which was a good thing for him.
IND vs BAN: Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting: Aakash Chopra
He might still be Sanju’s fan because of the way he batted: Chopra Sanju Samson (Pic Source-X) Sanju Samson and Gautam Gambhir have shared the dressing room while playing for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. Gambhir, who led KKR and was the team mentor during IPL 2024, had inspired the Kerala batsman to show the world what he is capable of, after being selected in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. However, Sanju did not get a chance to play in the playing eleven during the T20 World Cup. But now that Gambhir is the head coach of the Indian team, Sanju is continuously getting opportunities in Team India. True to Gambhir’s decision, Sanju played a century in the third T20 match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad. On the other hand, now a big statement from former Indian opening batsman and well-known cricket commentator Akash Chopra has come out regarding the relationship between the two. Chopra has said that Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the India vs Bangladesh third T20 match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Let’s talk about Sanju Samson. Gautam Gambhir had tweeted a few years ago that Sanju Samson is not only India’s best wicketkeeper-batsman but also the best young batsman in the country. Once I was interviewing him (Samson) and I told him that his only aim in life should be to inspire Gautam to tweet. Chopra further said- Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting. Gautam was a fan of Sanju, because of the way he batted, he may still be a fan of Sanju. First of all he hit five sixes in an over, he said that his guru had asked him to do so, it came to my mind why his guru did not talk about six sixes.
IND vs BAN: Before the third T20 match, Aakash Chopra made a big statement comparing Hardik Pandya with Nitish Reddy.
The third T20 match between the two teams will be played in Hyderabad. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) IND vs BAN 3rd T20i: Former Indian cricket team opener and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has given a big statement about all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Nitish Reddy before the third T20 match against Bangladesh. Akash says that Hardik is a very trained player. It is noteworthy that the third match of the ongoing T20 series between India and Bangladesh will be played today, Saturday, October 12, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Team India has already won the T20 series by winning two matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the India vs Bangladesh third T20 match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya, this is a wonderful thing that is happening in the Indian team at the moment. Shivam Dubey used to be a part of this team, but now he is no more, Tilak Verma has come in his place. Nitish has been brought up to speed with the mindset that he should be fed as much as possible. Akash further said- He has been made to bat at number 4 and has been given full overs. They’re trying to prepare him because the potential is clear. I would still say that he is a little less prepared in bowling, because if you see his and Hardik’s bowling, Hardik is a very trained player. He bowls with great experience and takes wickets. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy has ability with the bat. There is no doubt about it because he hits sixes while standing at his place. He opens his front foot, clears the line and then hits.
Sanju and Abhishek have performed very poorly so far: Former player gave a big statement before the third T20 against Bangladesh
According to Aakash Chopra, till now both the opening batsmen have not batted well in this T20 series. Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma (Pic Source-X) The third and final T20 match between Team India and Bangladesh is to be played today i.e. on 12th October at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. However, before this match, former player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement regarding Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. According to Aakash Chopra, till now both the opening batsmen have not batted well in this T20 series. According to him, both the players have got the start but they have not been able to convert it into big scores. So far, two T20 matches have been played between these two teams. Team India has won both these matches. In the first T20 played in Gwalior, Team India defeated Bangladesh by 7 wickets while the hosts won the second match by 86 runs. Now the host would definitely like to register a win in the third T20 to be held in Hyderabad. However, before this match, Aakash Chopra has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he has presented his side regarding Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. Aakash Chopra said, ‘What about the two opening batsmen? This is a very big question. This is a three match series. At this time you are seeing Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson as openers but both of them have not made big scores yet. Sanju Samson looked in very good form in the first match. Not only this, Abhishek had made a very good start in both the matches. Although he was run out in the first T20, he played very poor shots in the second. Sanju was also out early in both the innings. He had scored 29 runs in one innings but could not make a big score in the second. This is very important. Many people are included in the list of openers: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘This is very important because the opening batsmen have to score runs quickly in T20 and they also have a lot of time. That is why Abhishek and Sanju will have to score runs because Rituraj, Shubman and Yashasvi Jaiswal will also come from behind. There is a lot of space for openers in Team India. You will also get to play four matches against South Africa but the situation there will be quite different and your opponents will also be quite competitive. That is why this match is very important for both the Islamic batsmen. If both the openers fail in the third T20 against Bangladesh, then questions will definitely be raised on their place.

After the T20 series against Bangladesh, Aakash Chopra made a big statement regarding the future of Varun Chakraborty.
Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets in Gwalior and then took two wickets for 19 runs in the second T20 played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Varun Chakravarthy (Pic Source-X) The best spinner Varun Chakraborty wore Team India’s jersey in the first T20 match against Bangladesh in Gwalior on 6 October after almost 3 years. He took three important wickets in Gwalior and then took two wickets for 19 runs in the second T20 played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Varun Chakraborty has performed very well in the Indian Premier League for a long time and is one of the important players of the team. After Gautam Gambhir becomes the head coach of Team India, Varun Chakraborty can be given many opportunities in the T20 team. Recently, former player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement about Varun Chakraborty. According to him, the upcoming season of T20 World Cup is to be played in India and Varun Chakraborty can also be included in the team. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Varun Chakraborty is making a comeback after a long gap of 3 years. In the first match against Bangladesh, Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets and in the second match, he bowled even better than the first match. He bowled with more confidence. He continuously bowled on the stumps line due to which Bangladesh batsmen failed to play big shots. This is a very good sign for him. After all, why do you want to feed Varun Chakraborty? The next World Cup is to be held in India after 2 years. You included Chahal in the World Cup but did not give him a chance to play even a single match: Aakash Chopra Regarding Yuzvendra Chahal, Aakash Chopra said, ‘You included Chahal in the team. If Varun Chakraborty can do this at the age of 33 then why not Chahal? You included him in the team in the World Cup but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. Great spinners are bowling well in every IPL season but they are not getting a chance in international cricket. I want to know why this is so? The third and final T20 match between Team India and Bangladesh will be played on October 12 in Hyderabad. Varun Chakraborty would definitely like to leave his mark in this match also.
