Tim Southee gave a big statement After the first test match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand ended in Galle, Tim Southee said- William O’Rourke has had a very short test career so far, and he has certainly announced it himself. We saw in New Zealand how dangerous he can be. He has the skills to have a very good Test career. For him to come in his first Test on the subcontinent and perform so well by taking 8 wickets in the match is nothing short of extraordinary. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders and he can become a big player, so there is a lot to like about William O’Rourke. Saudi further said about Rachin- Rachin (Ravindra) kept us in the Test match chase. We knew it was going to be tough, as the pitch was turning a lot in the last few days. It was a brilliant innings by Rachin in those conditions.

Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.

“Is Ravi Shastri a ‘yes man’?”, when captain Virat Kohli got angry at the media’s question, he gave a befitting reply
I have made more changes to my game by listening to him (Ravi Shastri) than anyone else in the past – Virat Kohli Ravi Shastri & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri was the director of the Indian team from 2014-16, after which he was appointed the head coach of the team in 2017.

In 2018, during the press conference before the Australia tour, Virat Kohli was asked whether Ravi Shastri is a ‘yes man’? Kohli called the question bizarre and responded by calling Shastri a man of integrity and said that he often rejects his ideas in favor of the team. I can take the right advice from him- Virat Kohli According to ESPNcricinfo, Virat Kohli replied in the press conference saying, About saying ‘yes’ all the time, that’s the weirdest thing I’ve heard, I don’t think there’s anyone in Indian cricket who has said ‘no’ to me more than him. Honestly, because he’s someone I can talk to and get a genuine opinion and he’ll tell me something that if it doesn’t need to be done, it doesn’t need to be done. I’ve made more changes to my game by listening to him than anyone else in the past. Ravi Shastri was the head coach of the Indian team from 2017 to 2021.
