Pat Cummins has been successful, Kapil Dev did it before, hopefully this is the start of a new approach.
Surya called this player as Virat’s replacement, said- he took full advantage of his opportunity
Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav has praised Tilak Verma, who scored two consecutive centuries while batting at number three in the T20 series against South Africa. Surya said that the responsibility given to this young batsman was fulfilled by him well. India won the series 3-1 by registering a big win of 135 runs in the fourth and final match. Virat Kohli batted at number three for Team India in T20 for a long time, whereas before retiring from T20I, Virat Kohli opened in this format. Since then many batsmen have been tried at number three. Rishabh Pant opened in the T-20 World Cup, but Team India did not get much success there. It was a great opportunity for Tilak and he took full advantage of it – Suryakumar Yadav Suryakumar has also batted at this number but he decided to send Tilak at number three in the last two matches against South Africa and the 22-year-old player took full advantage of it. Surya said in the press conference after the match, “The thought was revolving in my mind that a player batted at number three for a long time and achieved great success.” SKY said, “So it was a great opportunity for a young batsman and he took full advantage of it. We both talked about it and he took the responsibility. He was ready as soon as he spoke. The way he batted here was amazing. Hopefully he continues to perform well not only in T20 but in all formats. Surya Kumar said, “We had played some T20 International matches before winning the T20 World Cup. We talked about what kind of cricket we have to play to move ahead.” He said, ”In IPL we play for different teams but when we play for India, it is the same. We want to perform as we do for our franchise teams. We want to play that kind of cricket. After the T20 World Cup, we moved forward following the same things.
Rohit called himself the culprit of the defeat, said- My performance as captain and batsman…
Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: For the first time in 24 years, New Zealand gave India a whitewash in a Test on home soil. The hosts performed very poorly with the bat throughout the series and resulted in an embarrassing 3–0 series defeat. Senior batsmen – Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in six innings, raising questions over their future in the longest format. After the game at the Wankhede Stadium, the Indian captain admitted that, he faced a very tough time with the bat and was very mediocre even as a captain. His decision to bat first in the first Test in Bengaluru backfired and the team was all out for just 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit Sharma gave a big statement after the series defeat against New Zealand Regarding this defeat, Rohit said that, we have been playing on these pitches for 4-5 years, but in this entire series we could not perform better with the bat. In a way, Rohit Sharma has also taken responsibility for the defeat, but at the same time he said that we did not perform well collectively and this is the reason for these defeats. “Yes, of course, you know it is never easy to lose a series or lose a Test,” Rohit Sharma said at the post-match presentation ceremony. This is something which is not easily digestible. Again, we did not play our best cricket, we know that and we have to accept that. They (New Zealand) performed much better than us. We made a lot of mistakes and we have to admit it. We did not score enough runs in the first innings (in Bengaluru and Pune) and we fell behind in the game, here we got a lead of just 30 runs, we felt we were ahead, the target could have been achieved too, but we should have performed better. Had to do.” He further said, “You also want runs on the board, that’s what was going on in my mind, it didn’t happen and when it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t feel good. I have certain thoughts in my mind when I go to bat, but in this series, it didn’t happen and it’s disappointing for me. Pant, Jaiswal and Gill showed how to bat on these pitches, you have to be ahead and active, we have been playing on such pitches for the last 3-4 years, we know how to play, but in this series I failed to do so and it hurt. Also, I was not at my best with the bat and as captain, this is something that will bother me, but we did not perform well collectively and that is the reason for these defeats.

Talking about the second Test, Bangladesh had scored 233 runs in its first innings after losing all the wickets, in response to which the hosts declared their first innings at 255 runs for 9 wickets. After this Bangladesh was all out for 146 runs in the second innings. Team India achieved the target of 95 runs by losing three wickets. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘The second reason due to which this series will be remembered by everyone is that history has been made. You people will say what is the big deal in this that we defeated Bangladesh whereas they had defeated Pakistan before that. You cannot beat India because no team has been able to do that till now. First, the way of playing has changed. We played on a pitch where the team is bowling first after winning the toss. That too with three fast bowlers. This means that you are challenging yourself. If we talk about Kanpur, only 35 overs were bowled on the first day while there was no play on the second and third days. You guys said there would be a 100% draw. We won the match with 40 overs left: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘We won the match when 40 overs were left. Only one and a half day’s play was left and two and a half day’s play could not be played. However, despite this we registered victory.

Regarding Rohit Sharma, Aakash Chopra said, ‘This match and series will remember the legacy of Rohit Sharma as a Test captain because without the change in mentality and confidence of the captain, this series would not have been won 2-0.

Dinesh Karthik told who will be India’s next all format captain Dinesh Karthik was asked on Cricbuzz who can become the captain of the Indian team in the future, in response to this question he said, “As the next future captain of all formats of India, two players come straight to my mind who are young, have potential and can definitely lead India in all formats in the near future, one is Rishabh Pant and the other is Shubman Gill, both are captains of IPL teams and have also captained India. I think with time they have a chance to become captains of all formats for India.” In the same video, Karthik also told who is the better Test batsman between Virat Kohli and Joe Root? He said, “Look, the stats will tell you that it is Joe Root, but my heart is with Virat Kohli. In fact, he is someone whom I have seen play for more than a decade and I know how much he loves to play in those big moments, big series. When someone asks him questions, he will come back to you with such strong answers that you will say wow, if I was given a choice as to whose batting I would like to watch in my life, there is no doubt that I would name Virat Kohli.”
