Rohit Sharma is struggling with poor form in T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian captain could not play a big innings even against Afghanistan

Rohit Sharma has so far scored 76 runs in four innings of this important tournament. Rohit Sharma (Pic Source-X) In the important match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma failed to score big against Afghanistan and returned to the pavilion after scoring 8 runs. Rohit Sharma’s performance in the match against Afghanistan was quite disappointing. Let us tell you, Rohit Sharma played a match winning innings of 52 runs in 37 balls against Ireland in the group stage. However, after this match, Rohit Sharma looked completely out of form. Against Pakistan, the Indian captain scored just 13 runs, while against America, Rohit Sharma returned to the pavilion after scoring three runs. Many fans were expecting that Rohit Sharma would definitely score big against Afghanistan but he lost his wicket on a brilliant ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi. Rohit Sharma has so far scored 76 runs in four innings of this important tournament. The match against Canada was cancelled due to rain. Not only Rohit Sharma, experienced batsman Virat Kohli has also not been able to leave his mark in this tournament. So far, both these players have failed to give a good start to the Indian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. At present, if we talk about the match played against Afghanistan, apart from Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant also flopped completely and got out after scoring 20 runs. Rohit Sharma will have to get back to his best form once again India will now play its next match against Bangladesh on June 22 while the team will play against Australia on June 24. When this tournament started, the Indian captain was seen batting brilliantly but in the last three innings, he has batted disappointingly. The bowlers of the Indian team have made their mark in this tournament so far but the performance of the batsmen has been quite poor. However, Rohit Sharma and the rest of the batsmen of the team would definitely want to make their mark in the remaining matches of this tournament. 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?

“Ramiz Raja was made captain in place of Babar…”- Sanjay Manjrekar made fun of the Pakistan team

When Pakistan cricket is in trouble, they always go to Rameez Raja- Sanjay Manjrekar Ramiz Raza, Sanjay Manjrekar and Babar Azam (Photo Source: X/Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024: The Pakistan cricket team has been eliminated from the tournament due to poor performance. In the very first match against the USA, the team had to face defeat by 5 runs in the super over. Then against India, the team could not chase the target of 120 runs and lost the match by 6 runs. The team had won its first match in the third match against Canada. But then the team was out due to the cancellation of the match between USA and Ireland in Florida. There is chaos in Pakistan cricket at this time. According to media reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board can review the contracts of the players and cut their salaries. At the same time, the decision to hand over the captaincy to Babar Azam again for the tournament is also being criticized a lot. Fans say that Babar Azam should be removed from the captaincy. Meanwhile, former Indian player Sanjay Manjrekar has given a statement on the Pakistan cricket team. Manjrekar says that the board should appoint Rameez Raja as the captain. Rameez Raja becomes CEO or anything- Sanjay Manjrekar Cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar, while talking on Star Sports, said, ‘You know, when Pakistan cricket is in trouble, they always go to Rameez Raja. He becomes the CEO or whatever. Who knows? Rameez Raja can be made the captain in place of Babar Azam. He looks quite fit. Anything can happen at any time. Retirement of Pakistani players should not be taken seriously- Sunil Gavaskar Speaking on the same panel with Sanjay Manjrekar, Sunil Gavaskar said that anything can happen in Pakistan cricket. Babar Azam was the captain in the ODI World Cup 6 months ago, he resigned. Then Shaheen Afridi came, the New Zealand tour did not go well. After which Babar Azam was again made the captain. Sunil Gavaskar further mocked the decision of Mohammad Aamir and Imad Wasim to withdraw their retirement. Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘When you talk about retirement, it is basically a pause in their career. They always come back and say ‘the people of Pakistan love me and they want me to come back’. So you will never take a retirement announcement by a Pakistani seriously, because we know it is not a retirement.

Appointing Babar Azam as captain again was the worst decision of PCB: Ahmed Shehzad

Ahmed Shehzad criticised the decision to re-appoint Babar Azam as captain Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team has been knocked out of T20 World Cup 2024 as USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to rain. Babar Azam and Co had a very disappointing start to this edition and lost both their opening matches. But they registered a win against Canada. However, for Pakistan to qualify for the Super 8s, it was necessary for USA to lose against Ireland and Pakistan to win their last group stage match, but rain dashed Pakistan’s hopes. Pakistani fans have suffered a big shock as soon as the Pak team was out and they have openly expressed their disappointment on social media. Apart from this, former Pakistani cricketers have also criticized Babar Azam’s team. At the same time, experienced cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has criticized the decision to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Let us tell you that after Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the ODI World Cup last year, Babar Azam left the captaincy of the team in all three formats. However, earlier this year, the PCB again appointed him as the captain of white ball cricket in place of Shaheen Afridi. Ahmed Shahzad has strongly criticized this decision of the PCB and called it the worst decision. That was the worst decision by the PCB chairman- Ahmed Shehzad “Making Babar Azam the captain again was the worst decision by the PCB chairman as he was a tried and tested captain. Wahab Riaz has handled things in a very unprofessional manner,” Shahzad told Geo News. He said, “If you look at their cricket in the last four years, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman have been consistent. There is also Haris Rauf. He has got more time than he should have. There is factionalism in the team and there is a lack of leadership.” Shahzad also criticized Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. He said, “They say we are learning from our mistakes; what are you learning? Against Canada, you had to improve your net run rate and Rizwan scored the slowest half-century. Babar Azam also scored 33 runs at run-a-ball. Individual milestones have destroyed our cricket and the state of our cricket is because of them.”

‘Babar Azam is the fake king’: Ahmed Shahzad made a shocking statement about the Pakistani captain during a live show

Recently in a show on Geo News Urdu, there was a discussion about the statistics between Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad. Ahmed Shahzad and Babar Azam (Pic Source-X) Things have not been going well between Pakistan team captain Babar Azam and experienced opener Ahmed Shahzad for some time now. In fact, Ahmed Shahzad is not at all happy that Babar Azam is performing well in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Not only this, before the start of this tournament, Ahmed Shahzad was also very disappointed as to why Babar Azam was once again appointed the captain of the Pakistan team after removing Shaheen Shah Afridi. Recently, in a show of Geo News Urdu, there was a discussion about the statistics between Pakistan captain Babar Azam and Ahmed Shahzad. Regarding these statistics, Ahmed Shahzad once again criticized Babar Azam fiercely in this show. In this show, it was shown that Babar Azam has played 22 matches in the T20 tournament for Pakistan in which he scored 585 runs at an average of 27.85 and a strike rate of 112.06. At the same time, Ahmed Shahzad has 250 runs in 9 matches at an average of 31.25 and a strike rate of 126.90. When Ahmed Shahzad was asked a question about his strike rate on this show, he said, ‘These figures are not correct at all because when I was playing T20 cricket 8 years ago, it had just started at that time and we did not know anything about this format. At the time when we were playing, the conditions were not good at all because the coach used to come and tell us that if you do not perform well in two matches, then the third match will be your last match. Not only this, he also used to say that the intentions of the boys sitting on the bench are not good and that is why we have to face defeat in the matches. You are playing cricket of the modern era. There is a lot of change in both. Where we used to get three lakhs, you are getting 50 lakh rupees. Cricket has changed a lot and we have improved ourselves a lot. You have all the strengths a captain should have: Ahmed Shehzad Ahmed Shahzad further said, ‘The captain should answer why we are lagging behind. A captain has all kinds of power. Babar Azam got so many opportunities but he did not make us win a single ICC event. He got all the players he asked for but nothing came out of it. During our time, we were asked for our statistics after two series. Babar Azam has been openly supported by the board and I have never seen this for any player before. “Babar does not know what to do”“I have no idea why this happened, I have no idea why this happened”Babaji said this to his family members who have not yet fully understood pic.twitter.com/fUdrbjzZXU — Geo News Urdu (@geonews_urdu) June 13, 2024 However, despite all the positive things,…

Big news: Australian captain Mitchell Marsh banned for 2 matches, is the case related to fixing?

Australia losing the match against Scotland could play a vital role in qualifying them for the Super 8s and knocking England out of the tournament. Mitchell Marsh (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Australia and England are in the same group for the T20 World Cup. While Australia has qualified for the Super 8 match, England still has a sword hanging over its neck. England has to depend on the victory of other teams to qualify for the Super 8. Australian players do not want England to qualify under any circumstances. In such a situation, a former Australian legend has given a statement that if England has to be eliminated from the T20 World Cup 2024, then the Australian team should lose its next match. It is worth noting that both England and Australia consider each other as their enemies. At present, Australia has the upper hand and they would not like to face England ahead of them in the tournament, because the English team can be a big threat to them. Australia have already sealed their place in the Super 8s after registering three consecutive wins. Scotland currently have five points while England have one point, and they have two matches against Oman and Namibia to play. If Jos Buttler’s side win the above match and Scotland lose to Australia, then net run rate will become important as they will both be level on five points. But Australia losing the match against Scotland could play a vital role in qualifying them for the Super 8s and knocking England out of the tournament. In this matter, the statement of the team’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood has created controversy. Josh Hazlewood believes that England can be a threat not only to them but to all the Super 8 teams. In such a situation, he wants Australia to lose their next match. Let’s read what Hazlewood said- “Any team can come in front of them in the Super 8 matches of this tournament. England is such a team that even the best teams struggle against. That is why they should be removed from the tournament, because here it is about all the teams, not just us.” Mitchell Marsh will be banned straight away If Australia plays a match in favour of Scotland, Mitchell Marsh could face a ban if he does so. Marsh will be banned for two of his three Super Eight matches. Marsh could be charged under Article 2.11 of the ICC Code of Conduct if manipulation occurs, such as when a team deliberately loses a pool match at an ICC event in order to affect the position of other teams in that ICC event.
