Mitchell Starc gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Star Sports, Mitchell Starc said – If I tell my experience in Kolkata, he (Gambhir) is a great thinker of the game. He is always thinking about the opponent and how to get him out as a bowling attack or how to score runs as a batting attack. Starc further said- It is not just about individual players, it is always about the focus of the team. He can look at how to be on top in small things, be it techniques or field placement or anything like that. 🗣Mitchell Starc on Gautam Gambhir’s ‘team first’ approach: pic.twitter.com/3pIjvt3npM — KnightRidersXtra (@KRxtra) October 14, 2024

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.

Shoaib Akhtar is upset with the continuous poor performance of Pakistan team, gave a big statement after the defeat against England in the first test.
In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Shoaib Akhtar (Photo Source: Twitter) The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England has started. The first match of this test series was played at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan. In the first test, England players performed brilliantly and won the match by an innings and 47 runs. Talking about Pakistan team, they batted very well in the first innings but the team’s bowlers failed to leave their mark in this match due to which a lot of pressure was put on the hosts. Not only this, the batsmen of Pakistan team also performed disappointingly in the second innings. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has given his side regarding the performance of Pakistan team. He is unhappy with his team’s performance. Let us tell you that despite scoring 556 runs in the first innings, Pakistan had to face defeat in this match. According to Cricket Pakistan, Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘You will reap what you sow. In this period I have seen the decline of Pakistan cricket. It’s okay to lose but the game should be close. However, whatever we saw in the last two days, we have given up all hope from the team. England scored more than 800 and also Bangladesh beat you. Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship: Shoaib Akhtar The former player further said, ‘Fans are saying that Pakistan should withdraw its name from the World Test Championship. The ICC must be wondering whether we should send teams to Pakistan to keep the Test level alive? This is really heart breaking. This is very bad news for the cricket fans of Pakistan and also for the upcoming talented players. I would request the PCB to fix this thing as soon as possible. If your management and captain are weak then factionalism is seen there. If the captain is selfish then there is factionalism. Same is the case with coaches who are afraid of the captain. Captains give their views regarding selection and this has been going on since my playing days. Now the second test between Pakistan and England is starting from October 15 at Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.

Akash says that Hardik is a very trained player.

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.
