DTVHINDIAakash Chopra slammed the management for the continuous changes in the batting lineup of the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour
India performed poorly in the ODI series and were defeated by Sri Lanka 2–0. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India’s tour of Sri Lanka ended on 7 August. In this tour, India clean swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20 series. However, India’s performance in the ODI series was quite poor and Sri Lanka defeated them 2-0. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team could not perform well in the ODI format. In this ODI series, it was seen that a lot of changes have been made in the batting lineup of the Indian players. Former player Aakash Chopra put forward his point of view regarding this. In the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag also bowled very well and took important wickets for their team. However, in this tour, the players of the Indian team failed to bat well. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Number four has now become a revolving door as we have given batting order to different players in every match. What is the idea of making a player like KL Rahul bat at number 6 or number seven? Why don’t you fight from the beginning? In India, KL Rahul was included in the playing XI for only two matches and then he was dropped. It was really surprising to see this because KL Rahul was in his plans since 2023. This is also because no one else had scored more runs than him in the middle order since 2023. Number four has now become a matter of concern for the Indian team Let us tell you, in the first ODI match played between India and Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar batted at number four but he scored only five runs. After this, Shivam Dubey was given this important responsibility in the second ODI but he could not even open his account and India lost the match. In the third and final ODI match, Rishabh Pant was included in the team and was given batting at number four but he returned to the pavilion after scoring good runs. The Indian team will have to give a chance to such a player in this order as soon as possible, who can bat well at number four and win the hearts of all the fans. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

I think the one position India needs to improve is the No. 3 batting position: Mithali Raj
Let’s know what Mithali said Mithali Raj (Image Source: Twitter) The Indian women’s cricket team has lost to Sri Lanka by 8 runs in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024. On the other hand, after this defeat, a big statement has come from the former captain of the team, Mithali Raj. It is worth noting that after the Women’s Asia Cup, now the Indian team has to participate in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in October. So before the start of this multi-nation tournament, a big statement of Mithali Raj has come out. Mithali says that the area where the Indian team has to work before this big tournament is the number 3 batting position. Mithali Raj’s big statement came out Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Star Sports, the former veteran batsman said – India is going to participate in the biggest ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in October. I think the area India should really focus on improving is the number 3 batsman position. They are still looking for the right batsman to go at number 3. They have tried D Hemalatha at this order and they have tried Uma Chhetri. Mithali further said- But ideally, this number should have such a batsman who can take forward the great start given by Shefali Verma and Smriti Mandhana. Also, the team needs to focus on other aspects of bowling, as this team is playing with only 5 bowlers. They probably need a sixth bowler, someone like an all-rounder who can bowl a few overs as well as bat. I think these are the areas India should improve on before taking part in the T20 World Cup.
‘It’s great to bat with him’ Shubman Gill opens up about opening the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal

Shubman Gill gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the first T20 match between Sri Lanka and India ended, Shubman Gill said during the post-match – Actually we were not nervous. We had a good conversation and we knew that we needed just 1 wicket (when Sri Lanka’s score was 140/1). Gill further said- It is great to bat with him (Jaiswal) and we complement each other. Our style is different, our planning is simple. Assess the conditions and then face the bowlers. When you are starting the innings, see how the pitch is reacting and then play according to your plan.

Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: The Indian cricket team sweated it out on the field in its first practice session before the white ball series against Sri Lanka. Gautam Gambhir started performing his duties a day after reaching Sri Lanka. The Indian team took part in its first practice session under the leadership of Gambhir. India is scheduled to play a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka from July 27, after which an equal number of ODI series will also be played. Let us tell you that the Indian team will play under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav in T20, while Rohit Sharma will lead the team in ODIs.

In such a situation, it is not clear whether the captain of Rajasthan Royals will be included in Team India’s playing eleven or not. It is very unfortunate that Samson made his T20 debut for India in 2015 at the age of only 20. In the last 9 years, he has been able to play only 28 matches for Team India. Now it remains to be seen how many opportunities Sanju Samson gets on this tour of Sri Lanka. The first T20 match of the series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July.
Former Indian batting coach made a big prediction about Shubman Gill
Gill has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian young player Shubman Gill captained Team India for the first time on the Zimbabwe tour and under his leadership the young brigade won the T20 series 4-1. Earlier, he has captained Gujarat Titans. Now he has been made the vice-captain of the team for the white ball series against Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, former Indian batting coach Vikram Rathod believes that one day Gill will captain India in all three formats. In the five-match T20 series against Zimbabwe, Shubman Gill’s team had to face a big defeat in the very first match and in the IPL too, Gujarat Titans failed to perform well under his captaincy. In such a situation, questions started arising as soon as the first match was lost. However, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, the team won the series by registering consecutive wins in the remaining four matches. I am sure he will succeed in this role- Vikram Rathod Meanwhile, Vikram Rathore was quoted by NDTV Sports as saying, “Whatever I have seen of him, whether it was for Gujarat Titans or in Zimbabwe (when Gill captained the T20 series), he has done a good job. He has shown great body language, which is very important if you are leading a team. Now the BCCI has given him additional responsibility with the vice-captaincy and I am sure he will thrive in the role.” He further said, I think it is because of captaincy that Virat and Rohit could give their best and I think Shubman Gill will do the same. Although he is not the captain yet, but being in the leadership group, he will also give his best. Rathore said, I am sure that when you are in that role, leading others, it gives you additional responsibility, which is good. I think it is great for a youngster like Shubman, who can one day captain India in all three formats.
