DTVHINDI“I am also a big reason” – Ashwin blamed himself for the defeat in NZ series
Ashwin (Source X) A few days ago, India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at their own home. Now R Ashwin has given a big statement regarding this defeat and he has also considered himself guilty for this defeat. Although most of the players do not take responsibility for the defeat in such matches, but R Ashwin is one of them, who believes that he was also a major reason behind Team India’s defeat. This was the first time that the Indian team had to face a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. After 12 years, the Indian team lost the Test series at home. R Ashwin could not perform well with ball and bat in all three matches of this series. His performance in just three matches was not of the standard for which he is known. R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding the defeat in NZ series Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel about the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand, “In my career and in my experience in cricket, we have not had a very shattering experience, that is the right word, I felt bad – I didn’t know how to react to this for the last 2-3 days. I am also a big reason, could not contribute lower-order runs, lost wickets at the wrong time.” Ashwin was seen struggling to take wickets in this series. He could take a total of 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. This is rarely seen because Ashwin’s record on Indian pitches has been excellent and he easily takes 9-10 wickets in a match. R Ashwin scored 51 runs as a batsman in 6 innings of the 3-match Test series, in which he did not even open his account in one innings. At the same time, as a bowler he could take only 9 wickets. In the first match, he got only one wicket, whereas in the second match, he was able to take 5 wickets in both the innings. At the same time, even on a rank turner in Mumbai, he could take only 3 wickets. He could not take even a single wicket in the first innings.

Virat Kohli’s best phase is yet to come – Astrologer Greenstone Lobo Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian veteran player Virat Kohli could not perform much in the last home Test series against New Zealand. However, fans and cricket experts believe that in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, great innings will be seen from Kohli’s bat. Meanwhile, the famous astrologer has made a big prediction regarding King Kohli. Astrologer Greenstone Lobo studied Virat’s horoscope and predicted that the star batsman is going to continue his illustrious career till at least 2027. Virat Kohli can overtake Gavaskar-Rahul Dravid Astrologer Greenstone Lobo’s analysis shows an optimistic picture for Virat Kohli’s future, adding that influential planetary positions in his horoscope will propel him to stronger performances. The astrologer also pointed out that, it may be challenging to break Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 Test centuries, but Kohli can still surpass the records of legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid. Greenstone Lobo while talking on StarPlay: Cricket & Astrology said, Virat Kohli’s best phase is yet to come. Does this mean that Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record? Probably not. His record of more than 49 (51) Test centuries is very high. So perhaps it will be difficult for him to achieve this, but then Virat Kohli can definitely surpass Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid. He is not really worried about numbers, his focus is on winning and that is exactly what he is going to do for India.” Virat Kohli will perform well in Australia Astrologer Greenstone Lobo is confident that Virat Kohli’s luck will change as planets like Uranus and Neptune are in the right position in his horoscope. Lobo’s last prediction was about Kohli’s career. According to the astrologer, Kohli is expected to play till 2027, which is two years from now, and that includes big tournaments like the Champions Trophy, ODI World Cup and the World Test Championship. He is going to perform brilliantly as Uranus, which has been weakened in the last few months, is going to come back into exaltation on November 15 exactly and it is going to remain there throughout the tournament. One important thing that I can say (for now) is that Virat Kohli is definitely going to play some very interesting roles in Australia. So, for all the fans of Virat Kohli, let me tell you one thing. I assure you of one thing. Virat Kohli will play at least till 2027.

This is the first time James Anderson has shown his interest in playing IPL since the inception of the league in 2008.

Sandeep Patil wrote big things about former Indian coach Chappell, Wright and Kumble in his Autobiography.
Sandeep Patil believes that John Wright was successful as the Indian coach because he gave free rein to the players. Sandeep Patil (Photo Source: Getty Images) ‘Beyond Boundaries’, the autobiography of 1983 World Champion team member and former Indian selector Sandeep Patil, was released in Mumbai on November 6, 2024. In this book, Sandeep Patil shares his views about some of India’s coaches since John Wright. The former player believes that John Wright was successful as the Indian coach because he gave free rein to the players. But then Greg and Anil Kumble were unable to do so. John Wright was the ideal coach for India- Sandeep Patil Describing John Wright, Sandeep Patil wrote that, he was an ideal coach for India and after his tenure, India’s record abroad kept getting better. He also said that Wright kept his distance from the press and was not in the news much. Sandeep Patil wrote in his book, Since the year 2000, India has had many international coaches and support staff. This has been of great benefit, as India’s foreign record has continuously improved. It started with John Wright becoming India’s first foreign coach. I think John was the ideal coach for India. He was soft spoken, polite, always kept to himself and was happy living in the shadow of Sourav Ganguly. Apart from all this, he maintained distance from the press. He managed it so well that he was rarely in the news, unlike Greg Chappell’s tenure. Greg Chappell was in the news every day- Patil Patil believes that Greg Chappell did not try to understand the thought process of the BCCI board members, president and secretary. Chappell could not establish good relations with other members of the Indian team. Patil also told that Chappell was in the news every day. With Chappelle, he was in the news every day. It is very important for a coach to first understand the policy of that board, the thinking of the board members and the chairman. He should have a good rapport with the president and secretary, and of course with the captain and the team. John did this brilliantly. During John’s tenure, there was no senior and junior issue. It was a team. He believed that all the seniors were leaders in some way or the other, he respected them and gave them free rein, which I think Anil Kumble did not do and also Greg Chappell. Sandeep Patil also told in his book that, instead of learning about the system in India, Greg Chappell wanted to change things from the beginning. However, John Wright was the complete opposite, as he took time to understand Indian cricket. Let us tell you, John Wright coached India in 182 matches, out of which the team won 89 matches. Meanwhile, India won 40 out of 81 matches under Chappell’s leadership. Anil Kumble’s tenure was much shorter than the other two, during his tenure India won 22 out of 35 matches.
Before the start of BGT, Navjot Singh Sidhu gave big suggestions to Indian batsmen to deal with spin.
Navjot Singh Sidhu gave such suggestions to counter spin- Rohit Sharma & Navjot Singh Sidhu (Photo Source: The performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Test series against New Zealand was quite disappointing. The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. India’s batting line-up faltered badly on the spinning pitches of Pune and Mumbai and the team scored 156,245, 263 and 121. Meanwhile, before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has revealed some techniques to help Indian players improve their game. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave these suggestions to counter spin Navjot Singh Sidhu’s old advice regarding playing spin has resurfaced, which is going viral on social media. He further added to this with a four-point “playbook” for the Indian batsmen while tweeting on social media on November 6. Navjot Singh Sidhu first advised to “move forward often to confuse the spinner’s mind, it will force him to guess”. He suggests that by moving forward on the pitch, batsmen can disrupt the bowler’s rhythm and foil his plans. His second point is “Point of No Return” – the point of the bowler’s delivery. “Make sure you move when it is at the point of no return (point of delivery). “It comes from instinct and hours of practice.” Playing spin on turning tracks – 1 stepping out often to the spinner to clutter his mind, keep him guessing…. 2 ensure that you step out when he is at a point of no return (point of delivery), it comes with instinct and hours of practice 3 watch his wrist like a hawk till the… — Navjot Singh Sidhu (@sherryontopp) November 6, 2024 Sidhu then continued his suggestion by asking the batsmen to look closely at their hands before throwing the ball. “Keep an eye on your wrist like a hawk till the end to code the delivery,” he said, adding that this will help batsmen understand which way the ball will turn and adjust their reaction accordingly. Lastly, Sidhu advised to have a little forward movement so that both front foot and back foot are ready to explore the shot. “A small initial forward movement allows you to adjust to playing the ball late and moving back and forth,” he explained, adding that committing too early can put the batsman in a precarious position. “Swoop or commit, and you are at the mercy of the bowler – like a dying duck in a storm,” he warned.
Ricky Ponting advised Babar Azam to follow Virat Kohli, gave a big reason
Babar was rested from the remaining two Test matches against England due to poor form. Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. (Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images) Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam has been struggling with poor form for some time. Due to this poor form, he was rested from the two Test matches against England. He played in the first test match, but could not do anything special with the bat. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has advised Babar Azam to follow the footsteps of Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Pakistan had to face defeat against England in the first Test match of the home Test series. After this, the host team won both the matches and won the series 2-1. Like Babar, Virat Kohli was also struggling with form in 2022, but 2023 was a great season for him. That’s why Ricky Ponting feels that Kohli can help Babar regain his form to some extent. Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 test innings. He said in the ICC review, the biggest challenge is how they bring Babar back into their team. They have to find a way to get Babar back into form and back into their (Test) team. Maybe Babar needs to step away for a while and stop even trying. Close the kit bag for a while and think about something else. Then hopefully he will come back refreshed. He further said that, you know, when you look at Babar’s statistics, it is somewhat similar to what we were talking about earlier for Virat Kohli. Virat took a break from the game for some time and returned refreshed. Babar also needs the same thing. Hopefully, we will again see Babar like before in his career. Let us tell you that Babar Azam has not scored any half-century in his last 18 Test innings. Babar’s average in the last 9 Tests since the start of the 2023 season has been 20.70, which is very disappointing.
