Aakash Chopra And SRH (Photo Source: Twitter) Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra said Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) wrong approach is their biggest weakness going into the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL). Let us tell you that, IPL 2023 has been forgettable for SRH, despite having some big players in the team, it remained at the bottom of the points table. Chopra has commented that SRH constantly changed their match combination and perhaps that is why they could not perform well last season. Referring to Umran Malik, he said that the franchise did not use the Jammu fast bowler properly. Aakash Chopra told the biggest weakness of SRH In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “When I see his weakness, I feel that his thinking is messed up. The team was good last time too, but why did they not perform well? This is because they used to change the team every third match. You have spoiled Mayank Agarwal.” He further said, “You didn’t use Umran Malik at all, and when you did, you didn’t use him properly. He doesn’t bowl in the powerplay, but you gave him overs there. Then you didn’t feed him. “They were not making players but ruining them.” The 46-year-old player further said that his past mistakes could ‘haunt’ him in the upcoming season as well. Chopra said, “In the end they were completely clueless. The captaincy was normal. I see it as a bit of a weakness because if you have a lot of options then when you are tempted you make a quick change.” We don’t list Pat Cummins as gun players in T20: Aakash Chopra Chopra further said that srh Newly appointed captain Pat Cummins is a good player but believes that he will not be able to perform well in the T20 format. This cricketer turned commentator said that, “Their captain (Pat Cummins) is a very good player, but we do not put him in the list of gun players in T20, even he is not the captain of Australia. AndHe is the ODI captain but not the T20I captain. He does not bowl much in the powerplay and death overs. If one of your overseas fast bowlers doesn’t bowl in these two key areas, that’s a problem. You see your overseas bowlers there, but here you will probably only see Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan.”

Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Pat Cummins After Pat Cummins was appointed captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Aakash Chopra said through his YouTube channel – You have made Pat Cummins the captain but have you seen his recent IPL numbers? Look carefully, he concedes a lot of runs and doesn’t score that many runs with the bat. Only four foreign players play. He neither bowls in the powerplay nor in the death overs. Chopra further said- If he cannot do all these things then you are spending 25% of your foreign resources on a player who did not have a place in the playing eleven of IPL at one time. That’s why Pat Cummins is not the captain of that team (Australia T20 team), but he has won the World Cup, not the T20 World Cup.

In Chennai, when the ball rotates, he is absolutely brilliant, this happened in the World Cup.” The former India opener observed that the defending champions have four overseas spin-bowling options. Chopra said, “He has Mahesh Teekshana, whom he plays and bowls to. They have Moeen Ali, whom they feed and bowl to. He also has Mitchell Santner, whom he feeds and bowls to. If they want, they can give Rachin Ravindra a chance in place of Devon Conway, he has become another left-arm spin option.” Chopra finally acknowledged that CSK also have Prashant Solanki as the Indian spin-bowling backup. However, he claimed that the five-time champions have a very strong but completely overseas-dependent spin-bowling department.

First of all, I am saying this after looking at the current form of Yashasvi Jaiswal. “This means that his 600-plus IPL season is almost on the way.” How long can you keep the butler quiet? Aakash Chopra further said, “When you go into a tournament with so much confidence, you bat at a different level, like he did last year too, but this year he will bat with more maturity.

Kishan impressed everyone with his performances in IPL 2023, scoring 454 runs in 15 innings that season at a respectable average of 30.27 and a strike rate of 142.76. In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80.

Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team.

Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. 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.
