So, I cannot say that I was not surprised. Imad further said on Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 World Cup- Yes, honestly, our performance was not good and we have to accept it, including me. I think our team was good, but it did not succeed. This can happen in any format, especially in T20, but yes, it was disappointing. I was really disappointed, it took me a long time to recover from it.

“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. Ravi Shastri replaced Anil Kumble, who resigned from the post after a one-year tenure. According to reports, after the rift with Anil Kumble, Virat Kohli was adamant on making Shastri the coach. During the tenure of former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, it was often said that he is a ‘yes man’, meaning he agrees with captain Kohli. 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. Let us tell you, in 2017 itself, Virat Kohli was appointed captain of all three formats. A new era of Indian Test cricket began under the duo. The team won 22 out of 39 Tests.

Neither Bumrah, nor Pandya, nor SKY, Dinesh Karthik called these two players India’s next all format captain

After that Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the captain of Team India’s T20 format. Now everyone has a question in their mind that when Rohit Sharma retires from all three formats, who will be the next captain of India in all three formats. Regarding this, former Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has given his answer. Dinesh Karthik has named two players who can become the captain of Team India in future. While making the prediction, he named batsman Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. 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.”

Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie (Image Credit- Twitter Pakistan cricket team’s white ball and red ball cricket coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie have recently given a big statement and have told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not to change the captain of the team in a hurry after Pakistan’s poor performance in all formats.

After this, Shaheen got the command of the T20 team, and after a bad series, he was also suspended. So Babar was replaced by Shan Masood in Test cricket, and some media reports claimed that after losing 0-2 in the home two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Masood could also be removed from the post of captaincy. However, now recently a senior PCB source has given a big statement regarding this. PCB source gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently a senior source of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in an interview given to PTI was quoted by India Today as saying – There has been no discussion on changing the captains, as PCB President Mohsin Naqvi has left the decision on captaincy to the two coaches and selectors. Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillispie are very clear that both Shan and Babar need to be given proper time before their leadership abilities can be assessed. From this statement given by this senior PCB source, you can guess that both the coaches have clearly told the PCB that Masood and Azam should be given enough time to prove themselves. However, now it will be interesting to see how Pakistan performs in the three-match home Test series against England in October after facing defeat against Bangladesh?

I am not surprised that he is back in the team and he will continue to play for India in Tests. If he continues to perform like this, he will become the GOAT player in Tests. For me, he needs to get better in the shorter formats. I am sure with the talent he has, with time he will become one of the best. It is worth noting that Pant’s aggressive batting has given India many big successes, especially abroad. Now it will be interesting to see how he is going to perform on his return to Test cricket?
Babar’s captaincy is in danger, now PCB can make this player the captain of Pakistan
Currently Babar Azam is the captain of Pakistan’s white ball format. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. (Image Source: Getty Images) After losing the Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh recently, turmoil has once again started in Pakistan cricket. According to the latest reports, Babar Azam may now be stripped of the limited overs captaincy. Babar had given up the captaincy of both formats last year, but before the ODI World Cup held in India, PCB made him the captain again. Now reports are coming out that Mohammad Rizwan can be given the responsibility of limited overs captaincy in place of Babar Azam. This rumor got further fuel when PCB announced 5 captains for the Champions ODI Cup. These 5 captains include Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, but there is no mention of Babar. It is believed that the board is in the mood to take away the captaincy from Babar. Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain of all three formats According to a Geo News report, there is every possibility of appointing a new captain in place of Babar Azam later this year. The appointment of a new captain for ODIs and T20s may happen before the Australia tour. Pakistan will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches against Australia from November 4, which will be very important for the Pak team before the Champions Trophy on their home ground. The report also states that white-ball coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to Pakistan Cricket Board officials and Babar on the matter two months ago. If all the concerned parties agree to choose Rizwan as the captain, he could be appointed captain for all three formats in the future, which could also cast a dark shadow on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh recently. In this series, apart from Mohammad Rizwan, no Pakistani batsman was able to leave a mark.
