‘He thinks he has become bigger than the game’, former cricketer slammed Wanindu Hasaranga for his poor performance in the second T20I
Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali criticized Hasarga’s performance Wanindu Hasaranga (Image Credit- Twitter The second T20 match between Sri Lanka and India was played in Pallekele on 28 July, where the visiting team won by 7 wickets in a rain-affected match. Wanindu Hasaranga proved to be very expensive in the match and he gave 34 runs in a spell of two overs, while taking only one wicket. At the same time, former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali has criticized Hasaranga’s performance. He said that the 27-year-old feels that he has become bigger than the game. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, Number one all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga. I think he has become bigger than cricket. Cricket is small, he is big. He got out playing a bad shot on the first ball. He was not good with the ball either. Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a lot of runs. Basit Ali took a dig at Hasranga He took a dig at Hasaranga (Wanindu Hasaranga) and said that Sri Lanka should give him the Player of the Match award and give him rest from the remaining matches. Basit Ali said, according to me the Man of the Match should be given to Hasranga. Give him the Player of the Match award and ask him to rest for the third match. He hits silly shots and his bowling is also the same. It seems like he has become Boom Boom Bumrah, he should learn from Bishnoi. Apart from this, the former Pakistani cricketer said about the batting of the Sri Lankan team that, the middle order batsmen of Sri Lanka could not perform. I think India’s dominance is such that Sri Lanka is afraid of the name of India. In both the matches, good partnerships were made and then suddenly broke. I don’t know whether their middle order knows how to bat or not.
“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.
