DTVHINDI“This is the perfect time to give him a chance” – Watson tells 19-year-old boy to be Khawaja’s opening partner for BGT
The five-match Test series between India and Australia will start from November 22. Shane Watson & Sam Konstas. (Source: X/Twitter) The Australian team has to play a five-match Test series against India later this year (November-December). Before this series, the biggest question for the Australian team is, who will be their opener in these five test matches. After the retirement of David Warner, in Test cricket, Australia decided to get Steve Smith to open in some matches, which did not prove to be that effective. Before the start of BGT, Australia has made it clear that Steve Smith will play at number four in this series. After this, who will open for him again is a big issue. Meanwhile, former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has given a big statement. He has described a 19 year old boy as the opening partner of Usman Khawaja. Shane Watson has named young Sam Konstas (Sam Konstas) Supported. Representing New South Wales, the 19-year-old recently scored a double century against South Australia in Sydney and with that in mind, Watson believes Konstas could be the perfect fit to open . Shane Watson made a big statement about young Sam Konstas Watson believes that young players can bring a different aspect to the team and said that with all the veteran players ageing, Cricket Australia should also focus on bringing in new talent. Shane Watson was quoted by AAP as saying, “In my mind, this is the right time to give him a chance in Test cricket. You know bowlers are getting old, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are also slowly getting old, so this young player should be given a chance.” He further said, “Obviously he still has a lot of cricket in front of him. But one thing Australian cricket has always done incredibly well was to look at someone who was different from all the young stars coming through and integrate them into the Australian set-up as quickly as possible with reasonable understanding. Also, being able to help them learn.”

Abhinav is currently a part of Gujarat Titans. Abhinav Manohar (Image Credit- Twitter Batsman Abhinav Manohar, who plays domestic cricket for Karnataka, has expressed his desire to play for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on his home ground in the IPL. Let us tell you that the 30-year-old experienced player is currently a part of Gujarat Titans (GT) from the year 2022. In the first season with the team, Manohar played some swashbuckling innings, and contributed to the team winning its first title. After this, the next year when the team finished runner-up, they also performed well. However, the year 2024 IPL was nothing special for him. This season he got to play only two matches for GT. So now that the mega auction for IPL 2025 is round the corner, and the teams have to submit the list of retained and released players to BCCI before October 31. Meanwhile, Abhinav Manohar has expressed his desire to play in IPL for RCB. Abhinav Manohar gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Wisden, Abhinav Manohar said – Being a Bangalore boy, it would be good to play for RCB. In the last few years, I came to Bengaluru to play some matches on behalf of GT. But I didn’t get a chance to play, and I really wish I would have played, because I think I know this wicket well, and it’s a batting track. It would be any batsman’s dream to play in Bangalore in IPL, because it is very easy to hit a six here, the ground is quite small. Abhinav Manohar further said- I think it would be great to play for my home team also. Let’s see. I mean, the dynamics of the auction are very strange, and you don’t know which team you’re going to. So, I’m just hoping that I get a chance to go to a team that I can play for, that’s all.
Drona Desai: This 18-year-old boy from Gujarat registered his name in the record books by scoring 498 runs in a single innings
Dron Desai played a marathon inning of 498 runs while playing for St. Xavier’s School in the Under-19 school level cricket tournament. Drona Desai (Source X) Who is Drona Desai: 18-year-old Dron Desai of Ahmedabad is in the headlines these days. This young cricketer has done such feats that no cricket fan can stop himself from praising him. Dron Desai played a marathon innings of 498 runs while playing for St. Xavier’s School in the Under-19 school level cricket tournament. With this brilliant innings, he has attracted the attention of many great players. On the basis of this brilliant innings, he led his team to victory by 712 runs. Dron Desai, a student of St. Xavier’s Loyola Hall, has entered the list of players with the highest individual score in inter-school cricket in Gujarat with this innings. He played this brilliant innings of 498 runs in the Diwan Ballubhai Cup (under-19 age group) against JL English School. 498 runs scored in 320 balls Desai played a memorable innings of 498 runs with the help of 86 fours and 7 sixes in 320 balls. Desai’s score of 498 runs is the third highest score in India. The highest score was made by Pranav Dhanawade in 2016, who scored an unbeaten 1009* in the Bhandari Cup inter-school cricket tournament. After this, Prithvi Shaw scored 546 runs in the Harris Shield in 2013. It is disappointing not to reach the 500 run mark Desai was unaware of his 498 runs and was disappointed at missing the 500-run mark by two runs. He dedicated this innings to his coach Jai Prakash Patel, under whose guidance he has been training since the age of seven. He said, “I am disappointed that I missed 500 runs by 2 runs, but overall I am very happy. I dedicate this innings to Jai Prakash Patel sir, who made me understand the value of my wicket from the very beginning. I hit 86 fours and only 7 sixes in my innings, and most of the fours were ground shots. Till the age of 14, he told me to play only ground shots.” Now it remains to be seen how much Dron Desai can make use of his performance and whether he can make it to the state teams and senior teams, like former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel and Gujarat opening batsman Priyank Panchal did.

Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) During the third Test of the series in Rajkot, England’s Ben Duckett had said that after the emergence of baseball, cricketers around the world have started batting aggressively. His statement came soon after Yashasvi Jaiswal’s charismatic innings on the third day of the Test and led to several former cricketers criticizing him, saying aggressive batting existed even before England decided to play in that style. Ahead of the fifth Test in Dharamsala, India captain Rohit Sharma gave his opinion and said that Rishabh Pant always liked to play aggressively, long before England decided to adopt baseball. The 36-year-old Rohit said Duckett may not have seen him bat and also said he doesn’t know what baseball actually means, but praised England for playing good cricket in this series. Rohit Sharma replied to Ben Duckett in his own style Rohit was quoted by News 18 as saying, “Yashasvi Jaiswal learning from Ben Duckett? There was a boy named Rishabh Pant in our team, perhaps Ben Duckett might not have seen him playing.” While giving this answer, not only did Rohit himself laugh, everyone present in the press conference started laughing. This series is very important for Team India in terms of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle. If the Indian team also wins the fifth test of the series, then its position at the first position will become stronger. India is currently leading 3-1 in the series and Jasprit Bumrah’s return to the playing eleven is certain. One spinner is likely to be rested as it is believed that the Dharamsala pitch will suit fast bowlers. On the other hand, this will be the 100th Test match for spin wizard Ravichandran Ashwin and obviously he would like to perform well in this Test match.
