Kris Srikkanth and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) This is the third time under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy that the Indian cricket team has reached the finals of ICC tournaments. Rohit took over the reins of the team after Virat Kohli, and after that not only he but the team also started playing aggressive cricket. On the other hand, ahead of India’s final match with South Africa in the ongoing T20 World Cup, former Indian player and 1983 World Cup champion Krishnamachari Srikkanth has been seen comparing Rohit Sharma with former captain and legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev, under whose captaincy India won the World Cup for the first time. Srikanth compared Rohit to Kapil Let us tell you that in a discussion with Star Sports before India’s match against South Africa, Srikkanth said – I do not like to compare cricket eras and captains, but I have brought for you a similarity between the 1983 World Cup and this World Cup. In this World Cup, see who is leading the team as a leader. As a leader, Rohit Sharma said, I will lead, I will play risky shots. He has played some great shots and great innings so far. Kapil did something similar at that time. Srikkanth further said- As a team, you need every player. Be it Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar or even Akshar Patel’s 10-12 runs. The best thing is that he (Rohit) is using his bowlers properly. He captained brilliantly against England, and brought in Axar Patel in the fourth over, and he took the big wicket of Jos Buttler. This is the same thing that Kapil Dev did. Everyone is contributing to the success of the team.

What happened to Nasir Hussain? Former player gave a big statement on India’s semi-final win against England
According to Nasser Hussain, even though this situation proved to be very beneficial for the Indian team, it must still be said that they defeated Australia and made their place in the semi-finals. LONDON, ENGLAND – JULY 14: Sky Sports commentary team Ian Ward, David Lloyd, Stuart Broad and Nasser Hussain during the 2nd ODI Royal London One-Day match between England and India at Lord’s Cricket Ground on July 14, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Gareth Copley/Getty Images) India defeated England in the second semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and confirmed its place in the final of this great tournament. In this match, all the players from the Indian team performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team. Former English captain Nasser Hussain has given his opinion on this victory of India. According to Nasir Hussain, even though this situation proved to be very beneficial for the Indian team, it must be said that they defeated Australia and made it to the semi-finals. Not only this, there was a lot of difference between the pitches of St. Lucia and Guyana. Nasir Hussain wrote in his column in Daily Mail, ‘If you look at it, everything was in India’s favour to reach the final of the T20 World Cup. This means that the venue proved to be very useful for them and the situation also proved to be very successful for the team. But if you look at the big things, they defeated Australia and made their place in the semi-finals. India defeated Australia on a good pitch in St. Lucia where there was a lot of bounce. The final match will be played between India and South Africa and both are unbeaten teams of this tournament. This final will be very exciting. Nasir Hussain gave his opinion on the score of the Indian team in T20 World Cup 2024 against England The former English captain further said, ‘The score of 168 that India made against England at Adelaide Oval in the 2022 season was slightly less than the score of Guyana. Actually, the spinners were getting a lot of help on the Guyana pitch and the ball was also staying very low. If there is no bounce in the ball at all, then a score of 171 runs is very good for any team. Rohit Sharma also showed his class and played many great shots. He also played the pull shot very well and scored another half-century for his 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?

T20 World Cup 2024: Trinidad pitch created a ruckus, former veterans raised big questions calling it ‘dangerous’
The pitch was a bit dangerous. Some balls were passing around the shoulder, neck, chin height of the South African fast bowlers – Andy Flower T20 World Cup 2024, SA vs AFG (Photo Source: Getty Images) South Africa has reached the final by defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024. With this victory, the African team has created history, the team is going to play a World Cup final for the first time. But meanwhile there is a ruckus about the pitch of Trinidad. After the match, Afghanistan’s head coach Jonathan Trott had said that this was not the semi-final pitch. At the same time, South African captain Aiden Markram is happy not to play on this pitch again. The Trinidad pitch was very difficult to bat on, which the African bowlers took advantage of. And Afghanistan was all out for 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody and former Zimbabwean player Andy Flower have made a big statement raising questions on the Trinidad pitch. T20 World Cup 2024: Playing on the pitch was a tough challenge- Tom Moody Former Australian player Tom Moody says that there should be equal competition between ball and bat. He says that batsmen should not face a pitch where the conditions are completely against them. Tom Moody also said that it is not right for teams to score more than 200 in every match, balance is needed in every match. Talking on ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, You want a fair contest between bat and ball and I am not advocating that we need pitches where you need 200+ runs. But you need consistent bounce, that is the most important thing. Any batsman will put his hand up and say, that is the most important thing. If you have a ball that is hitting the toe of your bat or a ball that you feel you are going to punch the same length with your gloves, it is a very tough challenge to counter. The pitch was a bit dangerous- Andy Flower Former Zimbabwe player Andy Flower says that the pitch had inconsistent bounce, which troubled the batsmen. Flower also said that the pitch also looked dangerous because the balls were passing around the shoulders, neck and chin of the batsmen, which could also cause injuries. Andy Flower said, As a batsman, you’re trying to predict where the ball will be. You’d like to get it somewhere in the middle of the bat at least. And on this pitch, it was almost impossible to do that on any consistent basis. It was a bit dangerous actually. Some of the balls were going past the shoulders, necks, chin height of the South African fast bowlers. And one of them even went past the head of Quinton de Kock, the keeper. And I was glad nobody got hurt.
Virender Sehwag appeals to Team India to win the T20 World Cup in honor of Rahul Dravid, read the big news
India is going to face England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup. Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rahul Dravid, one of the greatest cricketers of all time, has never won the Cricket World Cup. India was joint winner of the Champions Trophy 2002 with Sri Lanka, while India lost the 2003 World Cup final against Australia. Apart from this, the 2007 Cricket World Cup under Dravid’s captaincy was even more disastrous, the team was eliminated from the group stage itself. However, in 2011, the Indian team won the ICC Cricket World Cup, but Dravid could not make it to that team. So in the year 2012, he retired from cricket, but after that he was seen playing IPL for a few years. Although, he did not get much success as a player, but when he took over the coaching of India’s Under 19 team, he got a lot of success, during this time some players also made it to the senior team. After this, when he took over the coaching of India’s senior team, he did not get the same success as the Under 19 team. Under Dravid’s coaching, the Indian team reached the semi-finals in the T20 World Cup 2022. At the same time, Team India was considered a strong contender to win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, but India had to face defeat at the hands of Australia in the final. So now Dravid’s coaching career is going to end after the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. In such a situation, keeping this in mind, former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has requested Team India that they should win the World Cup to honor Dravid. Virender Sehwag made a special appeal to Team India Let us tell you that in a discussion with Cricbuzz before India’s second semi-final match against England in the ongoing T20 World Cup, Virender Sehwag said- We played the 2011 World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar. So this T20 World Cup can be for Rahul Dravid. At least as a coach he should get a chance to win a World Cup and be called a World Cup winner, which he did not get as a player.
“We have to bring such batsmen in the team who….”- Big statement by head coach after Afghanistan’s exit
We need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game – Jonathan Trott Jonathan Trott (Photo Source: X/Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024: Afghanistan has been eliminated from the tournament after losing the semi-final against South Africa. After this defeat, Rashid Khan and company’s dream of playing their first World Cup final has been shattered. Afghanistan has impressed everyone with its performance in the ongoing tournament. The team defeated teams like New Zealand and Australia, which would be wrong to call an upset. Meanwhile, after Afghanistan’s exit, the team’s head coach has given a big statement. Jonathan Trott says that the team will learn a lot from this World Cup. He has also expressed his displeasure over the team’s batting. The middle order has disappointed – Jonathan Trott In the semi-final match against South Africa, the team’s batting disappointed a lot. The team was all out for just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Talking to ICC about the team’s batting, head coach Jonathan Trott said, I’m sure people will learn from this experience, we’ve got a better tournament than the last 50-over World Cup in November and it’s just about going step by step and hopefully we’ll learn from today. South Africa bowled really well and when they saw how the pitch behaved they knew how to bowl in the conditions and I think that’s bad because we haven’t really fired, the middle order batsmen haven’t fired enough in this World Cup. We have become more dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran- Head Coach The team has won every match in which the team’s openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have given a good start. But this did not happen against South Africa, which led to the defeat. The head coach says that the team has become too dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran. There is a need to bring such batsmen in the team, who can score runs consistently like openers. We have perhaps become a little too dependent on Gurbaz and Ibrahim to score runs. Nobody else has scored runs. And we have to find the reason for this, we need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game. So this is our big project going forward.
IND vs ENG: England can play this many spin bowlers against India, former legend made a big revelation
The T20 World Cup semi-final match between India and England will be played in Guyana. India vs England (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second semi-final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup will be played today on 27 June between India and England (IND vs ENG) at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. This match is going to be very important from the point of view of the Indian team, because in this match the Men in Blue will want to avenge their 10-wicket defeat at the hands of England in the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup. However, before the start of this match, there is a continuous discussion by the former players about the planning of both the teams. And now in this episode, a big statement has come from the former all-rounder of England cricket team Paul Collingwood. Collingwood says that England can play 4 spin bowlers against India in this match. A big statement from Paul Collingwood came out Let us tell you that while talking in the Star Sports press room before the semi-final match between India and England, former captain Paul Collingwood said – Spin bowling is like a golden opportunity for England in this match, especially Adil Rashid. The special thing about Rashid is that his bowling is difficult to predict. He is capable of turning the ball in both directions. Indian batsmen usually play spin very well, but the way Adil Rashid is bowling at the moment, we just have to see and wait to see what the condition of the pitch is. There is a possibility that England may field four spin bowlers in this match. Obviously, apart from Rashid, there is Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, who are all-rounders and can bowl leg spin and off spin. You know that if the wicket is too dry, England can also make Will Jack bowl. Adil Rashid is at the peak of his game and this is the beauty of the World Cup.
IND vs ENG Semifinal: These 4 bowlers will bowl in the powerplay against England, see the big plan!
IND vs ENG, T20 WC Semifinal: The second semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024 between India and England will be played on June 27 (8:00 PM IST) at Providence Stadium, Guyana. Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) IND vs ENG, T20 WC Semifinal: The second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and England will be played on June 27 (8:00 PM IST) at Providence Stadium, Guyana. But in this match, England captain Jos Buttler is standing like a big wall in front of Team India’s victory. Actually, in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, England and India clashed at the Adelaide Oval on November 10, 2022. England emerged victorious in that match thanks to the brilliant performance of Jos Buttler and Alex Hales. Now Team India is afraid that Butler, who played a brilliant innings of 83 runs in the last match, may become the reason for their defeat in this semi-final too. Butler is no less than a big threat for Team India. Therefore, Team India’s bowlers must be making plan after plan to get him out. Ravichandran Ashwin gave Team India the mantra to take Jos Buttler’s wicket In IPL, Ashwin and Jos Butler play for the same team i.e. Rajasthan Royals. So both of them must be aware of each other’s weaknesses. Now Ashwin, keeping the country ahead of the franchise, has told how to get Jos Butler out in the semi-finals. Let’s read what advice he has given on his YouTube channel- “If a spinner like Akshar Patel bowls to Jos Buttler and Salt, we can get 2 wickets. He can bowl a great arm ball and keep the ball slow. The special thing is that he can also slide it from the hand. That is, Akshar has 3 weapons, which will be in his favor. “In the first over, the batsman will try to settle himself and build a rhythm. In such a situation, when their intent is low, these 3 balls of Akshar can hit the pad. Jos Buttler has low trajectory and Salt has trouble playing on the backfoot. In such a situation, Akshar is the best option to bowl the first over.” “Whenever Jos Buttler faces Axar Patel during the powerplay, he often gets him out. So it is important to use Axar. This World Cup belongs to Axar, even though he has not done wonders with the ball and bat, whenever India’s match has turned towards victory, Axar Patel has been that important person 3 times.” IND vs ENG Semifinal: Which bowlers should bowl in the powerplay against England “I would say, Arshdeep Singh should bowl the first over. If the ball swings, then the second over should probably go to Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah has troubled Jos Buttler a lot to set the tone. If the ball doesn’t swing, then there is a good chance and you should straightaway put the ball in Axar’s hands. If the ball swings, then I would also like to give the ball to Hardik Pandya so that…
Sri Lanka got a big blow as it was out of the T20 World Cup, Chris Silverwood left the post of head coach
Sri Lanka was eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the group stage itself Chris Silverwood (Photo Source: Twitter) After the poor performance of the Sri Lanka cricket team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the team’s head coach Chris Silverwood has resigned from the post. Earlier, Sri Lanka’s performance in the World Cup 2023 was not very good, after which the former coach of the England cricket team has taken this big decision. It is worth noting that Silverwood’s coaching career with the Sri Lankan cricket team started in a great way. Under the coaching of Silverwood, the team won the Asia Cup 2022 and also qualified for the 50-over Cricket World Cup. Apart from this, Sri Lanka defeated Australia in the T20 series and Bangladesh in the Test series under the coaching of Silverwood. But now he has relieved himself of this responsibility in the Sri Lankan cricket team citing personal reasons. A big statement from Chris Silverwood came out So after leaving the post of head coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, Chris Silverwood said according to a statement issued by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC)- Being an international coach means being away from your family for long periods of time. After long conversations with my family and with a heavy heart, I feel it is time to return home and spend some quality time together. I would like to thank the players, coaches, backroom staff and management of SLC for their support during my time in Sri Lanka. None of the success would have been possible without your support. It has been a true honour to be a part of Sri Lanka Cricket and I will take many fond memories with me. Also, let us tell you that after the poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Mahela Jayawardene also decided to leave the post of bowling consultant in the team. So now Chris Silverwood being relieved of his role is not a good sign for Sri Lanka cricket.

Matthew Mott made a big statement before the semi-finals Let us tell you that this match between India and England will be played at Providence Stadium in Guyana. In the pre-match conference held before this match, Matthew Mott said – Virat has proved his class in a long time. He is one of those players for whom we have prepared well. We know how he can play? We know how destructive he can be and we also know his game awareness. Matt further said- If the match demands a different kind of game from him (Kohli), then he has that too. Therefore, he is a different kind of player. As I have said, what has happened to him throughout the tournament does not matter, big players come forward only in big matches. On the other hand, if we talk about Virat Kohli’s statistics against England in T20 cricket, he has scored a total of 639 runs in 20 matches played at an average of 39.93 and a strike rate of 135.66. It will be interesting to see how Kohli is going to perform in the semi-final match against England?
