The former India opener revealed that Rachin Ravindra is in the best form of his life and backed him to deliver a stellar performance in his first stint in the cash-rich league. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I still think this team will be okay because they do something and find someone. Here he already had an amazing player in Rachin Ravindra as his (Conway’s) backup. He had a very good World Cup and recently scored runs in Test matches as well. He is in top class form.” The former batsman further said, “However, his T20 numbers are not good. T20 statistics are not good and playing for CSK is a good thing. So now you can get to see the T-20 avatar of Rachin Ravindra. Being a left-handed opening batsman and left-arm spin, he has everything to become the Most Valuable Player.”

Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them.

However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”

“I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there”- Aakash Chopra said about the leg spinner.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra is surprised to see the name of experienced leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal not in the central contract issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Chopra believes that his not getting a place in the contract list is an indication that the selectors and team management have now moved beyond him. The BCCI announced the central contracts for the 2023–24 season on Wednesday, February 28. Chahal was one of the prominent names who was not in that list. Apart from them, names of Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav were also not in that list. Aakash Chopra was surprised to not see Yuzvendra Chahal’s name in the contract list. Chopra believes that the disappearance of Yuzvendra Chahal’s name from the new contract list is surprising in itself. Chopra said that, “I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Akinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan – their names are not there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal’s name not being there – what does it mean? It seems they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction. This is proof of that. Maybe he might have seen some ray of hope, but it did not happen. His name is not there.” The 33-year-old Chahal was a key part of the Indian team in the limited overs format for a few years between 2016 and 2019. Lately, he has been in and out of the team constantly. Chahal has the experience of 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is, in which he has taken 121 and 96 wickets respectively. According to Chopra, bowling all-rounder Deepak Chahar had a chance to get a central contract, had he not been ruled out of the match due to his father’s illness, his name would have been there too.
IND vs ENG: “He was not targeting anyone” – Aakash Chopra said on Rohit’s hunger statement
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that, when Rohit Sharma said that only those people will be given a chance in Test cricket who have the hunger for Test cricket, then he was not pointing towards any one player. India defeated England by five wickets in the fourth Test in Ranchi on Monday to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. In the post-match press conference, Rohit talked about the hunger required to achieve success and perform well in the longest format. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on some of the post-match comments from both the captains. He has shared his opinion referring to Rohit’s statement. Akash Chopra’s statement on Rohit Sharma’s ‘hungry’ statement Aakash Chopra said, “Rohit Sharma has said that this is the toughest format and if you have to be successful in it, you need a lot of discipline and dedication. He also said that if someone does not have that hunger then it is obvious, but he was not pointing at anyone.” The former opening batsman further said, “If you listen to him till the end, he also said that there is no one inside or outside the team or squad who is saying that they do not want to play. So he was not targeting anyone.” Aakash Chopra said that what Rohit said was 110 percent correct. However, he said that Indian cricket is in a very good shape as they have some senior and junior players. In the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Team India managed to win the Test series against England.

A round of allegations and counter-allegations is going on from both sides. It is not known what is true and what is false in this. You must trust your player. If a player is saying something then there is truth in his words. Hanuma Vihari is not an ordinary player. Hanuma is the player who batted with one hand when he had a fracture in one of his hands.” The former opening batsman further said, “His journey has been incredible. He has helped Andhra qualify. He united the team. I have a lot of respect for him, whether it was the Sydney match where he played with a hamstring injury and put his career on the line and then he batted with one hand for Andhra. I would really like to believe what Hanuma Vihari says.” meanwhile Aakash Chopra Has expressed hope that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be involved in this so that everything can be evaluated objectively. He also justified Vihari’s decision not to play for Andhra and said that the relationship had broken down to a great extent and he could happily play as a professional player with any team in the country.

He had already scored a century, he also hit a double century – 214 not out off 236 balls, what a player. He is playing at a different level. Despite back pain, he hit 12 sixes. He equaled the world record of Wasim Akram. He has just started playing cricket, this was his seventh test match and in this he has scored two double centuries and a score of 171. “It would have reminded you a bit about the beginning of Vinod Kambli’s career.” The former opener further said, “He reminds you a bit of Vinod Kambli at the beginning of his career. He was also a left-handed batsman who played spin very well. Jaiswal also plays spin very well. Of course, due to some off-field issues, Kambli’s career did not progress the way it should have.” However, Chopra expressed confidence that Jaiswal’s career would be quite different from his. He understands the DNA of the game. He hit three sixes in one over off Jimmy Anderson. Once he reached 180, he said he would not rush. He is not satisfied with the century.”
