Rohit Sharma gave a big statement regarding traveling reserve players Captain Rohit said in the press conference before the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru, “There are a lot of options when it comes to batting. We want to do the same in bowling also. We want to build bench strength where if anything happens to anyone tomorrow, we don’t have to worry. The captain further said, “We want to keep Mayank, Harshit and Nitish with us, because we are thinking of taking them to Australia, we want to build bench strength, especially with fast bowlers. We have 8 or 9 options, not just 3 or 4. Like batting, we want more options in bowling also.” “We don’t want to be too dependent on a few players,” he added. It is not right to do this. Looking at the future, we want to try to ensure that we get the right players.” This is why India has fast bowlers Mayank Yadav, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Prasidh Krishna for the three Test matches against New Zealand. Present as a reserve player for the series. Rohit said, “Tomorrow if we feel that he is ready to play that role (in place of the injured fast bowler) then he should be ready for it. Of course he played some matches before our announcement.

I would like to become a spin bowling coach: Rahul Sharma made a big revelation during an exclusive conversation with Crictracker.

Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. Rahul Sharma (Pic Source-Twitter) Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. Rahul Sharma played a total of 6 matches for Team India in international cricket in which he took 9 wickets. Recently, in an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he made big revelations about many things. Question: Currently you are playing LLC. Earlier the players were not able to participate in league cricket after retiring from international cricket. What do you think is the importance of this tournament? Rahul Sharma: It is a good thing because in Team India also we have played many matches together. We also enjoy playing together and meeting each other. IPL is a big tournament and people from there are seen playing in this league after retirement. Shikhar is brother, he has also participated in this league for the first time and I am enjoying watching him play. Question: Shikhar Dhawan has recently retired from all forms of cricket. Do you think he should have been given more chances? Rahul Sharma: Players know when they should retire and when not. Like I was also playing and recently I also took this decision. This is Shikhar Bhai’s thinking and I cannot say anything about it. Question: As a leg spinner, you played for Team India. Talking about Yuzvendra Chahal, he bowled very well along with Kuldeep but now he is not getting opportunities. To make your place in Team India, should you play as an all-rounder or bring variation in your bowling? Rahul Sharma: Chahal is playing well consistently. He has also performed brilliantly in the county. But as the game is changing, batting is also becoming important. There is no doubt that Chahal is a great bowler and I admire him myself. It is necessary for him to make changes in his batting also. One thing is also that it depends on the captain and coach as to what kind of team they want. Now Gautam Bhai is also there. They will have to take decisions. Gautam Bhai also needs a match winning bowler. Question: Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 format after winning the ICC T20 World Cup. Don’t you think they rushed? Rahul Sharma: Look at the decision of both these players. T20 format is a fast playing format. Both Rohit and Virat are among the best batsmen in the world. Rohit Sharma has participated in all the T20 World Cups and this is no small thing. According to me, whatever decision was taken, both of them took it of their own free will. Question: Virat Kohli has been seen struggling against spinners in recent times. You yourself are a leg spinner. What would you like to say about this problem of Virat Kohli? Rahul Sharma: What can I say about Virat Kohli. I have known him since childhood. He is one of the best batsmen in the world. I am no…

IND vs BAN: Sanjay Manjrekar raised questions on Rohit Sharma’s bowling decision with an interesting statement

In the Kanpur Test match against Bangladesh, Rohit has won the toss and decided to bowl. Sanjay Manjrekar and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. So in this match, captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl after winning the toss was heavily criticized in the cricket world. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar has asked some questions through social media regarding Rohit’s decision to bowl after winning the toss. Manjrekar says that he doesn’t know why Rohit did not use Ravindra Jadeja against left-handed batsmen. Sanjay Manjrekar asked Rohit Sharma this question Let us tell you that Sanjay Manjrekar wrote in a post from his official X account – Rohit will have to show these figures. Jadeja vs Cook 2016 series, got him out 6 times in 8 innings, giving just 75 runs. When there is a left-handed batsman, Rohit does not make Jadeja bowl quickly. See this post of Sanjay Manjrekar So, in the post match presentation with ESPN Cricinfo after the stumps of the second day of the Kanpur Test match, Manjrekar said – Every captain has a vision keeping in mind the bowlers he has. There is nothing wrong in this, because captains trust some bowlers more. I have noticed, especially not in this series, when it comes to spin, Rohit likes Ashwin a bit more. On the other hand, if we give information about the ongoing second Test match at Green Park Stadium, today on 28th September, due to rain, the second day’s play could not even start. At stumps on the first day, after 35 overs, Bangladesh have scored 107 runs in the first innings.

Shaheen Afridi and his team insulted India’s bowling coach Morne Morkel; Know the matter?

Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Morne Morkel (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former South African fast bowler Morne Morkel has joined the coaching staff of the Indian cricket team and has started his tenure with an impressive performance from Jasprit Bumrah and other bowlers in the first Test against Bangladesh. Morkel was all smiles when the Indian bowlers were tearing apart the Bangladesh batting line-up in Chennai. Notably, Morkel has also spent some time with the Pakistan team. He joined them as bowling coach in June last year, but Morkel left the team after Pakistan’s failure to qualify for the T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 stage. With six weeks left on his contract, the great bowler severed ties with the Pakistani team and joined Lucknow Super Giants. However, soon the BCCI called him and he could not refuse. Basit Ali slammed Pakistani players for insulting Morne Morkel Former cricketer Basit Ali hit out at the Pakistan bowling lineup and accused them of disrespecting Morkel when he was the coach of the team. Basit said on his YouTube channel, “Pakistani bowlers consider themselves bigger than cricket. They thought Morkel was nothing in front of us.” He further said that there is a lot of difference in the mentality of Indian and Pakistani players. He said, “We have come to know the difference. This is the same Bangladesh that played a match against Pakistan where it seemed that Pakistan was completely behind. This is the same Bangladesh that defeated Pakistan. The difference is of mentality, thinking and class.” Actually, Bangladesh recently clean swept Pakistan on its soil, while India performed brilliantly and defeated them in the first Test. Therefore, after India’s strong performance, Basit Ali has lashed out at the Pakistani bowlers.

He is completely different, God has made him different. I take a lot of cricket tips from him and have learned a lot. I discussed ‘mindset’ while bowling with him and once asked him about the mindset while bowling to a particular batsman. He gave very good suggestions and ideas, answered all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and it reflects in his bowling. His ability to understand the batsman before bowling is amazing. He is a talented bowler and it is not easy to follow in his footsteps. On the other hand, if we talk about Akashdeep and Jaspreet Bumrah, both of them were recently seen playing in the first test match played against Bangladesh in Chennai. So now both of them can be seen playing together in the test match to be held in Kanpur from 27 September.
