It could wake up a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see this when he comes on the field- Josh Hazlewood Josh Hazlewood (Photo Source: New Zealand recently won the Test series against India 3-0, after 24 years any team has whitewashed India in a Test series at home. Team India has to play a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22. Team India’s form before this series remains a matter of concern. India’s place in the final of the World Test Championship 2023-25 seemed certain, but after the defeat against New Zealand, the team’s troubles have increased. To reach the final, India will have to win four out of five matches against Australia. Meanwhile, Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood says that India will be inspired to play better cricket after the loss to New Zealand. However, Hazlewood is also happy that Team India’s confidence has taken a blow after the defeat against Blackcaps. Josh Hazlewood said this about Team India Josh Hazlewood, speaking on the Sydney Morning Herald, said, It could wake up a sleeping giant, so to speak. We will see this when they take the field. For them, losing 3-0 is better than winning 3-0, easily. There may have been a slight blow to confidence. A lot of them have been out here, but there are also some batsmen who haven’t been out here, so they will be a little unsure of what to expect. I don’t think you can read too much into it. The results are obviously kind of good for us. There’s too much bounce here – Scott Boland Scott Boland talked about India’s success in Australia in the last few series, but he believes the conditions will be different this time as they expect more bounce. “I think the circumstances are very different,” Boland said. Obviously, the last few times India have come to Australia, they have performed really well. Yes, there is a lot of bounce here. I think the way they will set up their team will be completely different from what we see in India.” Let us tell you, India has won the last two Test series in Australia by 2-1. On the other hand, Australia is now keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15.
India’s WTC qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now: Aakash Chopra
India now has to win 5 of its upcoming 6 test matches. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has recently given a big statement regarding India’s chances of reaching the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). Chopra says that it looks a little difficult now. It is noteworthy that after the defeat by 113 runs in the Pune Test match against New Zealand, India’s path to the WTC has become a bit difficult. India has to win only 4 of its upcoming six Test matches, while one match may be drawn. But it is worth noting here that 5 of these matches are against Australia in Australia. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the defeat in the Pune Test match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The important question is what is the WTC qualification scenario, because India was on a mission of dominance. We thought we would win all five (home Tests) and move forward with 100 per cent points. Now the scenario is that you have to win four and draw one out of the remaining six matches, and that is a tough task. Chopra further said- Believe it or not, I think the upcoming BGT (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) is going to be very difficult. We have not lost for 10 years, but this time it will be very difficult to win. So the qualification scenario looks a bit difficult now, especially when you watch South Africa’s home matches. This is a big reason. Let us tell you that India has made it to the WTC finals for the last two consecutive times, but this time it seems a little difficult. So South Africa has won the first test match against Bangladesh, and the second match is left. While its two matches are left against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. If it wins these 5 matches, it will directly make it to the WTC finals.

According to Basit Ali, Ishan Kishan has shifted his focus from the game and started focusing more on fashion. Let us tell you, Ishan Kishan has not been seen playing for the Indian team for a long time. Kishan took a break from cricket after December 2023. After this, he also ruled himself out of India’s tour of South Africa and since then he has not been included in the team by the selectors. Basit Ali shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Ishan Kishan has fallen from his best form. He was also a little fashion conscious.’ Ishan Kishan participated in the Indian Premier League 2024 for Mumbai Indians and has not been seen on the cricket field since then. Kishan scored 360 runs in 14 innings at an average of 22.85 in the Indian Premier League 2024. Former Pakistani player has given his opinion on Sri Lankan team’s qualification in Champions Trophy Basit Ali has given his opinion on the Sri Lankan team’s qualification for the Champions Trophy. He also said that the team should learn from the women’s cricket team who won the recently concluded Women’s Asia Cup 2024. Basit Ali said, ‘Sri Lanka does not deserve to qualify for the Champions Trophy. I think just like we have seen in the Pakistan team that all the players are focusing more on maintaining friendship, the same has been seen in the Sri Lankan team. My personal opinion is that the Sri Lankan women’s team performed better than them. The men’s team should learn from the women’s team how to have confidence in themselves.’ Currently, the Sri Lankan team is playing a three-match T20 series against India. Two matches have been played between these two teams and India has won both. Now the third and final T20 match between these two teams will be played on July 30 in Pallekele. 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?

“One thing I like about Cummins is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni”- SRH head coach Tom Moody
In a thrilling encounter played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by six wickets.

Let us tell you that Cummins, known for his bowling ability in Test and ODI cricket, has impressed everyone with his captaincy in the IPL 2024 match. As captain, he has taken some decisions this season which everyone is praising. Meanwhile, head coach Moody has also drawn similarities between Cummins’ captaincy approach and the captaincy approach of the great MS Dhoni. SRH head coach Tom Moody praised Pat Cummins’ captaincy. “One thing I like about Cummins is that he is a bit like MS Dhoni,” Tom Moody was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. He’s willing to make a decision that most people don’t think about but that makes you feel like ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ The most special thing in today’s match was that while bowling, Cummins got the first over bowled by Abhishek Sharma instead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Moody appreciated this new thinking of Cummins. The head coach also admitted that Cummins tries to take some different decision all the time, due to which the team gets good results on some occasions. He said, “Like Abhishek Sharma. It was quite a strange decision when you look at the other options they could have gone with. You definitely have the best new ball bowler in IPL history in Bhuvneshwar Kumar. You have an off-spinner against a left-handed batsman. You think Markram or another bowler could have bowled that over, but he was committed to it and seemed to have convinced himself that it was the right decision.”
