Now I talk to him but in the beginning I was very scared of him and could not talk to him. He himself is such a big player and if Dhoni bhai is praising a player then it is really a big thing for everyone. If Dhoni bhai is praising a player then his confidence reaches the sky.

Karthik further said- Secondly, he will bring a smart mind to this Indian team. He is a very sharp and fiery person.

Axar Patel played an aggressive innings of 47 runs in 31 balls in the final against South Africa. In his recent interview with Indian Express, Axar Patel said, ‘Sometimes I don’t understand why I became a spinner. I was a fast bowler and my U16 coach Sanjay Patel said that there is something wrong with your biomechanics and you should do spin bowling. I had no interest in spin bowling at all. I always enjoyed batting and always got bored in fielding. That’s why in order to bowl quickly, I started doing spin bowling and I started getting wickets as well.’ My bowling has improved a lot because of Venkatapathy Raju sir: Axar Patel Akshar Patel further said, ‘When I went to the National Cricket Academy, Venkatpati Raju sir was there.

Akash Chopra is shocked by Kuldeep Yadav not being selected in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, former player gave a big statement
Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. Kuldeep Yadav (Pic Source X) Former player Aakash Chopra is quite surprised to see why Kuldeep Yadav has not been included in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you, Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. He has bowled very well in T20 cricket as well and has won the hearts of many fans.

India has announced its team for both these series. Aakash Chopra has also raised the question as to why Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal have not been included in the Indian team for the entire tour. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Kuldeep Yadav’s name is not in T20 cricket. This is really surprising because this player has recently won the World Cup and his name is not in the T20 team. Has something like this happened that we do not know about? He has been included in the ODI team but I have no idea why the brilliant spinner is not being played in T20.’ Aakash Chopra also gave his opinion on Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Yuzvendra Chahal’s name also comes to mind. He was also a part of the World Cup and now he is nowhere. Ravindra Jadeja is also not in the ODI team. What is happening? He has retired from the T20 team but an experienced all-rounder is available for ODIs. If Jadeja is available and still not playing, then I think the Indian team is going in some other direction. Rituraj Gaikwad has also been dropped from both formats. What has Rituraj done that his name has not come up? 6 months ago he was a strong contender to become the captain of the Indian team in which Shubman Gill was not playing but now Gill has become the vice-captain and Rituraj is not even a part of the team. 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?

Reflecting on the 2019 World Cup, Shami said- “In 2019 I didn’t play the first 4-5 games. In the next game, I took a hattrick, then a five-wicket haul and then a four-wicket haul. The same thing happened in 2023. I missed the first few games and then took a fifer, then a four-wicket haul and then a five-wicket haul.” Let us tell you that he was included in the playing eleven only after all-rounder Hardik Pandya was ruled out due to injury. Shami further said, “One thing I keep thinking is that every team needs players who can perform well. I took 13 wickets in three matches. What do you expect from me now?” Let us tell you that, during the 2019 edition, despite taking 14 wickets in four matches, he was benched for the final league match against Sri Lanka and the semi-final against New Zealand, which India lost by 18 runs. Shami further said on this- “I neither have questions nor do I have answers. I can only prove myself when I get a chance. You gave me a chance and I took 13 wickets in three matches. Then we lost to New Zealand.”

Paine further said- They now have some players who can take the game away from you with the bat and obviously they always have Rashid Khan, who can easily win you the game. They can do better with the ball at any level and T20 cricket is one of their strong sides.
‘PCB should take action against him’ Former Pakistani captain gave a big statement about Shaheen Afridi
Pakistan was badly eliminated in the T20 World Cup 2024. Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Butt is not happy with the way the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has managed fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. According to some media reports, Shaheen had a heated argument with batting coach Mohammad Yusuf during the Pakistan cricket team’s tour of England in the UK ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. If we tell you about this issue, then at that time Shaheen Afridi was throwing a lot of no balls during the bowling practice session. But when Yusuf reprimanded Shaheen for not throwing no balls, he told him to mind his own business. On the other hand, now former captain Salman Butt has given a big statement on this matter. Salman Butt gave a big statement Let us tell you that Salman Butt, on this issue, quoted Cricket Pakistan on a local sports channel as saying- If the Pakistan Cricket Management feels that Shaheen is not following the set plans, and is doing so deliberately, then the PCB should take action against him. If he is not disciplined, then he should be removed, and some other player should get a place in the team. Butt further said- If you (PCB) gave him a full chance despite all these issues and are now complaining, then I think anyone can do this. What is the point of appointing big names with such high salaries. The job of the management is not to complain but to take action. On the other hand, let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi was leading the Pakistan cricket team in T20 cricket, but before the T20 World Cup, he was removed from the captaincy in a very dramatic manner.
