Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach made a big statement, said- he used to cry after losing matches
Gautam Gambhir has recently become the new head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj (Source: x) Former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir’s childhood coach Sanjay Bhardwaj has recently made a big statement. Sanjay has said about his former student that he has had the hunger and passion to succeed right from the beginning. Also, Sanjay has said that people may think from a distance that he is arrogant and behaves badly with the players, but it is not so. Because of always winning the game, he always behaves like a 12-year-old boy. Sanjay Bhardwaj gave a big statement about Gautam Gambhir Let us tell you that recently on the YouTube channel of Manjot Kalra, who was a member of the Under 19 World Cup 2018 winning Indian team, Sanjay Bhardwaj said – Even today he is like an innocent child. There is nothing wrong in him. He is like a 12-year-old child, people think that he is arrogant, but his behavior is like this because of winning. I used to ask him to play matches after the nets and he used to cry after losing the match. Even at that time he did not like to lose. A person with a true personality will obviously be with Gambhir. Bhardwaj further said about Gambhir’s coaching- Gautam Gambhir will not go after the technical aspects, because technical improvement is not needed at that level. You are there because you are technically very good. What Gambhir will work on is the tactical aspect. Gambhir’s job will be to boost the morale and instill confidence in the player who is perhaps not sure of himself. On the other hand, if we talk about Gambhir’s coaching tenure with Team India, out of five matches, the Indian team has won three, one match was tied and the Team India had to face defeat in one match.

Chasing the target of 241 runs given by Sri Lanka, Team India was all out for 208 runs after 42.2 overs. In the match for Sri Lanka, spinners Dunith Vellalage and Charith Aslanka together took 9 wickets. On the other hand, after the defeat of the Indian cricket team in the match, a big statement has come from former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali. Basit says that after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to face spinners. Basil Ali gave a big statement on India’s defeat Let us tell you that after the second ODI match between Sri Lanka and India in Colombo, Basit Ali said through a recent video uploaded on his YouTube channel – I think after Pakistan, India has also forgotten how to bat against spinners. Maybe because their focus was more on T20. I am sad to see Shivam Dubey getting out. He could not even read it from his hand. In the first match, Washington Sundar was also out in the same manner. Basit further said- Keep Shivam Dubey only for T20, do not select him for ODI cricket. If he is selected, then first play him in 50 over matches in domestic cricket. India’s ODI team cannot be complete without Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja.

Mohammad Siraj also looked very happy with his delivery. Mohammed Siraj gave India its first success Let us tell you, Mohammad Siraj’s performance has always been very good against Sri Lanka. The first ODI played between these two teams ended in a tie. However, Mohammad Siraj took one wicket for 36 runs in 8 overs in that match too.

After this, the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka ended in a tie. India has not made any changes in its playing XI in the second ODI. If India has to win this match, then they will have to bowl out the hosts as soon as possible. 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?

“We cannot follow England’s “Bazball”, we have played only 2 matches…” – Bangladeshi player Zakir Hasan made a big statement
England has a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new – Zakir Hasan Zakir Hasan (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Bangladesh cricket team is going to tour India in September for a two-match Test series. Before this tour, the team’s opening batsman Zakir Hasan has made a big statement about the team’s performance in Tests. Let us tell you, Bangladesh’s performance in ICC tournaments has been very disappointing, and the team is not showing anything special in Tests either. Last year, the team played only four Test matches, out of which it won one and lost three. The players have been facing a lot of criticism due to poor batting in Tests. We play two matches in a series- Zakir Hasan Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan says that they cannot follow England’s ‘Bazball’ approach, because the English team plays four to five matches in a Test series. And Bangladesh plays only two matches in a series. Hasan has called it a matter of concern. Talking to Cricbuzz, Zakir Hasan said, As a cricketer, it matters more to me how I help the team with my performance than playing beautiful shots. As you said about playing for a long time in Tests, England may play one way. But if you analyze, the way other teams play Tests around the world, batsmen take time to score runs. See, England have a chance to adopt ‘Buzzball’ cricket because they play four matches in a single series. So they have a chance to do something new. Zakir Hasan further said, We don’t have a chance, we play two matches in a series and then we play after one, two or three months. So I think we have less chance than them (England) to implement it in international matches. But if you see the way cricket is being played overall, if we play cricket in that manner then it will be good for us.
