DTVHINDI“Retiring out means your innings is over…”- Aakash Chopra is giving provocative statements against Rohit Sharma
Many exciting moments were seen in the third and final T20 match played between India and Afghanistan on January 17 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The result of the match came out after two super overs. In the end, Team India registered a thrilling victory in the second super over. Many criticized Rohit Sharma and the umpires after the India captain batted in the second Super Over after being retired in the first Super Over. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra, who was a part of the commentary panel, also gave his stand on the matter and made a surprising statement. Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma He said that the opening batsman should not be allowed to bat. Chopra, 46, said it was a wrong decision. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, “Rohit Sharma retired out. Retired Hurt means that there is an external injury on the field of play and the umpire allows you to bat again. Retiring out means that your innings is over, you cannot bat again. So as soon as he went out, I said in the commentary that he cannot come to bat. This was done because he had lost his wicket. Rinku Singh and Rohit Sharma came back and I thought it was wrong. Rohit Sharma should not have been allowed to bat. Aakash Chopra further gave his statement regarding India’s decision to call Sanju Samson as the third batsman after the dismissal of Rinku Singh in the second super over. The former cricketer said that, since left-arm bowler Farid Ahmed was bowling at that time, the team management should have sent Shivam Dubey to bat instead of Sanju Samson. The former opener further said, “When Rinku was out, Sanju Samson came and I was surprised. Nothing against Sanju but he was already out for a duck on the first ball. He did not get a chance to bat much as he was out on the very first ball. Shivam Dubey was sitting outside and you did not send him. Farid Ahmed was bowling. Dubey has also played left arm fast ball. I was surprised. We scored only 11 runs. In fact, we didn’t even play the full six balls, we got out on the fifth ball itself.” Also read: After being wiped out in the T20 series against India, Afghanistan Cricket Board took a big step regarding this player.
Jitesh Sharma or Sanju Samson? Who will get the T20 World Cup ticket, Aakash Chopra told
Jitesh Sharma has scored 31 runs in the series so far. Jitesh Sharma, Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma will get a chance before Sanju Samson in the third T20 match against Afghanistan in Bengaluru. Jitesh Sharma had a brilliant performance in the first T20I, scoring 31 runs in 20 balls in Mohali, but failed to open his account in Indore. Before the upcoming T20 World Cup, this will be India’s last match in the shortest format and with that, the team management can try a few things in this match. However, Chopra believes that Jitesh Sharma should get more chances in the final playing XI as he is yet to cement his place. He also said that Samson will not be judged for just one match and pointed out that the cricketer always finds himself in a difficult situation. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that the question is whether you should keep Jitesh or Sanju at number 6. If Jitesh had completely confirmed his place, if there was no question mark before Jitesh’s name, he would definitely be going to the World Cup, you could have thought about Sanju. However, there is no confirmation yet regarding Jitesh. The former opening batsman further said, “There is another side to this also. Suppose you give Sanju a chance, will you test him in a match? This is wrong. Whoever you try, give him at least three chances. This has happened with Sanju throughout his career.” Rohit and Kohli are certain to play third T20 match: Chopra India captain Rohit Sharma failed to open his account in the first two T20Is of the series. On the other hand, Virat Kohli missed the first T20 match and played the second match, but could not take advantage of his good start. Thus, Chopra expects both the cricketers to be included in the playing XI for the third T20I against Afghanistan. Chopra said, “Rohit has not scored any runs, so he will have to play. Virat Kohli has played only one match so far, so he will have to play. Yashasvi has also played only one match, so he will also have to play.” Also read: Virat will go to Ayodhya to attend the Pran Pratistha ceremony on January 22
“He will lose his consistency…”- Aakash Chopra gave a strong warning to Virat Kohli

He revealed what impact Virat Kohli can make in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, which will be played in West Indies and United States of America (USA) this June. Let us tell you that Kohli made a comeback to India’s T20I team during the second match against Afghanistan at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. He last played in the shortest format of the game in the T20 World Cup in 2022. During the Indore T20I, Kohli scored 29 runs in 16 balls at a strike rate of 181.25, which included five fours. The most interesting thing about that is that, Aakash Chopra believed that the former India captain would be a big threat to the opposing teams in the marquee event. The 46-year-old also mentioned Kohli’s career strike rate which is around 138. Chopra also believes that Kohli can change gears whenever needed and play as per the match situation. Aakash Chopra is praising Virat Kohli a lot Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel that Kohli has all types of gear. He can play fast or slow. He can also play run-a-ball. Kohli is at his best when he lasts for a long period of time. You are afraid of going to the forest because there is a lion there. It is not inevitable that a lion will eat you whenever you enter the forest, but the knowledge of the lion being there scares you. Virat Kohli is that lion. When Virat Kohli is at the crease, the opposing teams are always scared. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra believes that the matches of T-20 World Cup 2024 will not be high scoring. He further mentioned the 35-year-old’s innings against arch-rivals Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup and said that they should adopt a similar approach in the upcoming edition. He further said, “Sher needs to be present on the pitch, especially on pitches where the total will be between 160 and 180. 220 will not be the total there. So you expect Virat Kohli to stand there and accelerate later on. That innings which was called a century innings, the one in Pakistan, there also you would find that he was going a little higher than a run-a-ball. He stepped up in the end and won the match for India. If Virat becomes over-aggressive, there is a lack of consistency, which you don’t want.” Also read: DSG captain Keshav Maharaj’s special message to Indian fans
It is very important to take advantage of the first six overs in T20 World Cup 2024 – Aakash Chopra
Team India is working hard for the prestigious tournament Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) All the teams have already started preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is also working hard for this prestigious tournament and is moving towards forming a strong squad. Earlier, the team had lost in the ODI World Cup 2023 final and its dream of winning the title was shattered. Therefore, the team will be expected to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup is to be played in the USA and West Indies. The Indian team has been placed in Group A along with Pakistan, Canada, Ireland and USA. The team will face Ireland, Pakistan and the United States in New York in its group stage matches, while taking on Canada in Lauderhill. Before the tournament, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has focused on what role captain Rohit Sharma will play for the Men in Blue. He believes that both Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try to take maximum advantage of the powerplay. ‘Then you will need power hitters in the end’ Chopra said on his YouTube channel that it will be very important to take advantage of the first six overs in West Indies and New York. As the ball gets a little older and the field opens up, the ball will not hit the bat well and it will become difficult to score runs. He further said, then you will need power hitters in the end, because the pitches will be like this. If you look at it from that perspective, you need to take advantage of the first six overs, and that’s where Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try their best to do that. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra has talked about the performance of the Indian captain in the ongoing T-20 series against Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma has not been able to open his account in both the T20 matches played so far, because he was out for zero in both the matches. He said, the way Rohit batted in the first two matches, it seemed that he was adopting a very aggressive mode, he was trying to hit every ball and would do so without getting set. read this also- “Talks are ongoing with them”, Pat Cummins responded regarding the future of Harris and Bancroft in the Test team.
IND vs ENG: Aakash Chopra does not want to see Dhruv Jurel in the Indian playing XI against the English team.
India has to play the first Test of the 5-match Test series against England starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. Dhruv Jurel and Aakash Chopra (Pic Source-Twitter) Former batsman Aakash Chopra has raised questions as to why Dhruv Jurel has been included in the Indian team instead of Sarfaraz Khan and Ishan Kishan for the first two Tests against England. Let us tell you, India has to play the first Test of the 5-match Test series against England starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. The Indian team has been announced for the first two Tests of this series, in which along with KL Rahul and KS Bharat, young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has also been included. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he raised questions as to why Dhruv Jurel got a place in the Indian team instead of Sarfaraz Khan and Ishan Kishan. Aakash Chopra said in the video shared on his official YouTube channel, ‘Dhruv Jurel has not played much first class cricket. He has played only 15 matches and scored 790 runs in 19 innings. Yes, his best scores have been near 250 and 46.50 is not a bad average. He has scored one century and five half-centuries. If seen this way, is this performance good for Test cricket? And if so, what should Sarfaraz do? Should we assume that unless Kishan goes into first class cricket and scores runs, he will not be included in the Indian team? I don’t see Dhruv Jurel in the playing XI of the Indian team: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘Dhruv Jurel’s selection was quite surprising. First of all, I don’t watch him play at all. KL Rahul will not play as wicketkeeper. Catches were dropped in South Africa too, anyone can drop catches but if you are playing against Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar, then you will have to take catches. 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget
Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma from now on – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, analyzing his return to T20I cricket, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Kohli should partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He believes that Virat has a great template and it takes some time for him to settle down. In such a situation, he advised that if Kohli bats in the powerplay, he will get a good opportunity to make a fast start, which will benefit the team. Virat Kohli should follow his set template- Aakash Chopra In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, if you look at the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a style of playing and when he follows that template he scores a lot of runs. Even in T20, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to score runs at a strike rate of 150, he does so in the powerplay. The 46-year-old former cricketer further said, “In New York or West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of scoring runs in the first six overs. So ideally you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start doing it now.” Chopra spoke openly about the complexity of the Indian batting unit at this time. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the side, it is unclear which path the team management will take. If Virat is asked to bat at number three and either Jaiswal or Gill opens, it will force Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number four.

Rinku Singh will be the only left handed batsman in Team India in T20 World Cup – Aakash Chopra
Rinku Singh’s performance so far in the T-20 format has been excellent. Rinku Singh. (Image Source: BCCI) Former Indian team opener Aakash Chopra believes that Rinku Singh can be the only left-handed batsman in the middle order of the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the T20 format after 14 months has closed the doors for other batsmen. Let us tell you that the Indian team is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I think left-handed players will not be in the World Cup. When you choose your top 6 batsmen, you will get only one left-handed batsman, only one, I am not kidding. If Rohit and Virat Kohli start the innings and Suryakumar Yadav comes at number three. You don’t have a wicketkeeper in the top-3. If Jitesh does wicketkeeping then he is a right-handed player. If Hardik comes down then he is also a ride hander. Only one left-handed batsman will be able to make a place in the middle order.” Aakash Chopra made a big claim about Rinku Singh He further said, “If we look at this time, it will be left-handed player Rinku Singh. You will have one or two more left handed players in your team. “Even after preparing to give opportunities to left-handed players last year, we will not be able to make room for those left-handers.” Talking about Rinku Singh, he has performed brilliantly in the T20 format so far. He has scored 278 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 180. He has scored one half-century. He is an expert in finishing the match. Aakash Chopra said that perhaps all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could be the second left-handed batsman. Let us tell you that earlier there was a lot of discussion on the issue whether the selectors will give a chance to young players in the upcoming T-20 World Cup or will they give a chance to experienced players like Virat and Rohit. But looking at the thinking of the team management think tank, it seems that Virat and Rohit can be given a chance in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Aakash Chopra has said that left-handed batsman Tilak Verma could not take advantage of the opportunities given to him, hence he may be dropped from the playing eleven of the Indian cricket team in the upcoming T20I matches against Afghanistan. . Tilak Varma did not take full advantage of his opportunity: Aakash Chopra Let us tell you, Virat Kohli could not play the first T20I match due to personal reasons, but he is likely to come back in the second match in Indore. Apart from this, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who could not play in Mohali due to right groin strain, can also make a place in the playing eleven in the remaining matches against Afghanistan.

Aakash Chopra said in a video shared on his YouTube channel, “After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were out, Tilak Verma was playing at number three and Shivam Dubey was promoted in the batting order. Tilak Verma played well for some time, but then he too was out, losing his wicket to Azmatullah Umarzai. Tilak Verma has not taken full advantage of his opportunity. ‘Will Tilak Verma play the next match?’ Will Tilak Verma play the next match? I think he may be dropped from the playing eleven, because if both Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal become available for selection, then who will be out? No one can spare Shivam Dubey nor will anyone touch Rinku Singh. Don’t know about Shubman Gill, but I think Tilak Verma can be dropped for the next match. 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling
Afghanistan has good batting and it will put pressure on Indian bowlers too- Aakash Chopra
India and Afghanistan on Thursday, January 11 at the Punjab Cricket Association, Mohali. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India and Afghanistan are set to face each other in the first match of the three-match T20 series at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Thursday, January 11.

Chopra started his discussion by talking about the strong team of Afghanistan and along with this he also gave his statement about Rashid Khan. Actually, due to injury, Rashid Khan will not be able to be a part of the team for this series. Despite this, Chopra emphasized the team’s strengths, especially in the batting department. Chopra said in his YouTube video, “Afghanistan has come with a very big team. From Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Gulbadin Naib, they have a lot of heating ability. The pressure will be on the batting of this team because they bowl well in any case.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Afghanistan’s batting Highlighting the important role of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in Afghanistan’s batting lineup, the former India opener said, “In batting, if Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s bat speaks, Rahmanullah will become Subhanallah, Mashallah. He will need the support of the middle-order batsmen. If the Afghan batsmen contribute runs, it is a contest worth watching.” Expressing hope for the strong batting of Najibullah Zadran, Chopra predicted a high-scoring match. They said, “My eyes will be on Najibullah Zadran again because he hits sixes hard. He has good strength in batting. Whoever wins the toss will opt to bowl first as the target will be easier to chase. It could be a 180 to 200 run match.” However, Chopra cautioned against overly aggressive strategies for the team batting first and advised aiming for a 200+ score from the start. He argued that such an approach could backfire, resulting in a lower total score in the end. Also read: Good news for Australia fans, David Warner will enter the SCG ground in Hollywood style.

Then both names should have been in the T20I team. Rahul still remains in the lower order and bats. So you could feed him there also. Well, Rahul is not in the team, but Rohit has been selected.
