DTVHINDIDuleep Trophy 2024: The poor form of Pant, Jaiswal, Iyer and Sarfaraz increased the tension of captain Rohit
Some big players of Team India failed in Duleep Trophy 2024 today. (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian team has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh from September 19 this month. The squad for that series can be announced next week after seeing the performance of the first phase of Duleep Trophy 2024. But before the start of the series, Indian star players have increased the tension of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma. Actually, before the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Indian players are participating in the Duleep Trophy. Before the series against Bangladesh, Indian players will prepare themselves for the red ball format by playing in the Duleep Trophy 2024. But in the very first round of the Duleep Trophy, the performance of many Indian players was very disappointing. From Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, many players could not shine with the bat during this period. Duleep Trophy 2024: Team India’s star players flopped with the bat on the first day Yashasvi Jaiswal India B opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score only 30 runs with the help of 6 fours in 59 balls in the first innings against India A. He was sent back to the pavilion by right-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. He got a good start in this match, it seemed that he would play a big innings, but he failed to do so. Sarfraz Ahmed Sarfaraz Khan, who made it to the Indian team for the Test series against England, also failed today. Sarfaraz is also a part of India B and he could score only 9 runs off 35 balls against India A. He was LBWed by Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the team for the upcoming Test series or not. Right now, before him, senior players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are ready to return to the team. Rishabh Pant Another batsman of India B, Rishabh Pant also disappointed the team and Indian fans. After the car accident, Pant has been seen playing T20 and ODIs so far, but he has not been able to return to Tests. Pant was able to score only 7 runs with the help of 1 four in 10 balls against India A. He was made his victim by Akashdeep. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would like Pant to return to form before the Bangladesh series. Shreyas Iyer Another batsman who failed to play a big innings today is Shreyas Iyer. Right-handed middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is trying to make a comeback in the Test team, disappointed everyone. He is the captain of India D. Iyer became the victim of Vijay Kumar on a personal score of 9. It is very difficult to say whether he will be able to make a comeback in India’s Test team after this performance or not.
So was Shaheen Shah Afridi really angry with Shan Masood? Know what the Pakistani captain said
Bangladesh won the two-match Test series against Pakistan 2-0. Shan Masood (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team captain Shan Masood revealed an important conversation between him and Shaheen Shah Afridi after the recent two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Let us tell you, a video is going viral on social media in which Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen removing Shan Masood’s hand from his shoulder during a team meeting. Shan Masood revealed that Shaheen Shah Afridi was moving his hand away because the ace fast bowler had an injury at that place and was in a lot of pain. After the match, Shan Masood said, ‘There is nothing like that. There is a talk that when I put my hand on Shaheen Shah Afridi’s shoulder, he removed it. The fast bowler was not angry with me. A ball from Nahid Rana hit his shoulder and I put my hand on the same place where he was hurt. Shaheen was in a lot of pain and that is why he removed my hand.’ Shan Masood also revealed about the argument with Jason Gillespie Another thing that was seen with Shan Masood during this Test series was that he was angry at Shaheen Shah Afridi when the fast bowler gave a boundary. However, Shan Masood said that he was angry with Jason Gillespie for not using the old ball during the match. Shan Masood further said, ‘I was angry at Jason Gillespie. But this is a different matter. Liton Das hit a shot after which the ball went into the stands. That ball was 8 overs old. When the umpire changed the ball, we saw that it was 18-19 overs old and my argument was that we need a better ball than this. After this, I saw on social media that there was an argument between me and Shaheen. That’s why I rarely see social media during the match.’ Anushka-Ritika fail in front of the wives of these 5 Pakistani cricketers Players with most centuries while chasing a score of 300+ in ODIs Virat Kohli will never be able to achieve these 3 records in his career These legendary cricketers have played only one IPL match “I will make RCB the champion for the first time…”- Priyansh Arya made a big claim List of captains who have won the toss the most number of times in Test cricket- Know who is Rishabh Pant’s girlfriend Isha Negi?

Michael Vaughan raised questions on Ollie Pope’s captaincy, gave 2 names for the next captain of England
Michael Vaughan believes England should groom Harry Brook as captain for the future. Michael Vaughan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has once again expressed concern over the leadership ability of England national cricket team’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope. Vaughan believes that even though England has achieved recent success under the captaincy of Ollie Pope, he should not be seen as a captain. According to Vaughan, Pope should be kept in the role of vice-captain rather than captain, as he is a great partner for Ben Stokes. Ollie Pope was given the responsibility of vice-captain ahead of the home series against Ireland in 2023. He then took over the captaincy on the tour of India and West Indies. However, Vaughan believes that both Pope’s leadership ability and his batting are still under question mark. Vaughan wrote in his column for ‘The Telegraph’ “Ollie Pope is a good vice-captain. He fits the bill well with Ben Stokes, his contribution to the team cannot be overlooked. But he is not yet ready for the role of captaincy.” Not every vice-captain can be made captain: Michael Vaughan Expressing his concern, Vaughan said, “Not every vice-captain is ready to become a captain. I think this applies to Ollie Pope’s case. He needs to focus more on his batting. If I am proven wrong by making Pope the captain, I will be happy, but I think he is a bit insecure right now.” Joe Root and Harry Brook can be made captain: Vaughan Vaughan believes that England should prepare Harry Brook as captain for the future. Vaughan suggested that if Stokes is unavailable and Brook is not ready for captaincy, then England should hand over the leadership responsibility to Joe Root again. Root’s experience can provide stability to the team. Vaughan finally said, “Pope has a chance to learn from England’s best batsman Root. He should go to Root and learn the nuances of batting.”
“He has done a good job as captain of LSG…”, said Jonty Rhodes about KL Rahul
The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and approach he has is fantastic – Jonty Rhodes KL Rahul & Jonty Rhodes (Photo Source: Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, Lucknow Super Giants performed brilliantly in the first two seasons and made it to the playoffs. But the performance of the franchise in IPL 2024 was disappointing, the team finished seventh with seven wins in 14 matches, 14 points. Before the IPL 2025 auction, there are reports that the franchise may release KL Rahul. Let us tell you, last season, after the defeat in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, there was a tussle between owner Sanjeev Goenka and Rahul on the field. However, Sanjeev Goenka has dismissed all speculations and called KL Rahul an integral part of the team and his family. Meanwhile, LSG fielding coach Jonty Rhodes has made a big statement praising Rahul’s captaincy and approach. Jonty Rhodes said a big thing about KL Rahul’s captaincy Jonty Rhodes, while speaking on India Today, said, I think if you look at the record as a captain of a new franchise, reaching the playoffs every time, as he has done. That is something that means a lot to his captaincy. The way he leads the team and the kind of setup and his approach is fantastic. Speaking further, Jonty Rhodes said, Look at Rohit and Dhoni’s record as captains, the trophies they have won and the consistency they have shown to win trophies. From LSG’s point of view, reaching the final, winning the trophy, it can be just one thing. Mumbai Indians are one of the most successful IPL franchises with five titles, but the team had to struggle for many years to win the first title. The franchise won the first title in 2013. Jonty Rhodes believes that Lucknow Super Giants are also struggling just like Mumbai right now.

“Should we do training or swimming..” Afghanistan captain joked after seeing water filled in Delhi ground, read full statement
“Boys, we should have brought swimming equipment with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Hashmatullah Shahidi was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. Cricket Pitches (Source X) Afghanistan team will be in Greater Noida from September 9 Afghanistan is set to play a one-off Test match against New Zealand at the Shaheed Vijay Pathik Stadium in K. What makes this match interesting is that it will be a ‘home’ match for Afghanistan due to the political situation in their country. However, as soon as the team reached Delhi for practice, they faced some major problems due to the bad condition of the ground because of the rain. Due to the continuous rain in the city, the outfield of the Greater Noida Stadium got wet and the training pitch was flooded. The groundsmen were trying to dry the pitch with the help of two table fans. Notably, there is no super sopper on the ground and there are not enough covers to protect the field beyond the 30-yard circle. Afghanistan captain Hasmatullah Shahid made fun of the wet ground The condition of the ground prompted heavy criticism from Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahid, who jokingly remarked that they should have brought swimming gear as it was a good place to swim. “Boys, we should have brought swimming gear with us. We are not going here to play. This is a good place for swimming,” Shahidi said, according to the Indian Express. Addressing the ground staff, the Afghanistan captain joked that they are used to such conditions but what will they say when the New Zealand team comes on the field. The Afghan captain said, Sir, we are used to it, but what will you answer to the people of New Zealand? This will be the first Test match at this stadium in Greater Noida. Earlier in 2017, five ODIs and three T20 matches were played between Afghanistan and Ireland at this stadium. Earlier in July, the BCCI gave the Afghanistan Cricket Board an NOC to host its home matches in India after a gap of four years. Afghanistan was initially scheduled to host Bangladesh in a full-fledged series against Bangladesh, consisting of three Tests and a few white-ball games. However, due to the extreme heat wave in North India during this period, the series was postponed.
When the former England captain tried to belittle Kohli by comparing him with Joe Root, fans lashed out at him on social media
Recently, Root scored the 33rd century of his Test career. Virat Kohli and Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter Former England cricket team captain Joe Root has created history by scoring the 33rd century of his career in the ongoing second Test against Sri Lanka at the historic Lord’s ground in London. After this century, he has jointly come on the first position in terms of scoring the most centuries for England. Root has equaled former English captain Alastair Cook. This is Root’s 6th century of his career at Lord’s. So in the match, when he was batting on 99 runs, he completed his century in 162 balls by hitting a boundary against Lahiru Kumara. After this, after scoring 143 runs, he played a shot against Milan Rathnayak and got caught by Pathum Nissanka at point. At the time of Root’s dismissal, England had scored 308 runs and England is currently in a better position in the match after the end of the first day. On the other hand, after Joe Root’s excellent innings, former England cricket team captain Michael Vaughan was seen comparing Root with the test career of former Indian captain and run machine Virat Kohli. Let us tell you that Vaughan has posted a photo on his official X account comparing the Test careers of Virat and Root. In the caption of this photo, he wrote – Good Morning India. As soon as he shared this post on social media, the anger of the fans reached the seventh sky. After this, cricket fans were seen scolding Michael Vaughan on social media itself.

Former Pakistani captain made a big statement, said- ICC Chairman Jay Shah should show emotion and send India to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy
Pakistan has the hosting rights for Champions Trophy 2025. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah has been elected ICC chairman. Shah’s appointment has left the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wondering about the future of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that this time the hosting rights of the Champions Trophy are with Pakistan. However, it is not yet confirmed whether India will tour Pakistan for this multi-nation tournament or not? Also, looking at the current political relations between the two countries, it seems that India will hardly go to Pakistan. If this happens, then once again the Champions Trophy can be held in a hybrid format like the Asia Cup. It is worth noting that at that time the hosting rights were with Pakistan, but India played all its matches including the final in Sri Lanka. On the other hand, now after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman, a big statement has come from former Pakistani captain and legendary batsman Younis Khan. Younis believes that Shah will maintain the spirit of sportsmanship and will help India tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Younis Khan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after Jay Shah became the ICC chairman recently, Younis Khan, quoting Cricket Pakistan, said- Jay Shah becoming the ICC chief should lead to the rise of cricket. Shah needs to show sportsmanship, because with the good initiative of the ICC chief, India can come to Pakistan to play cricket, in the same way Pakistan can also tour India. Well, now it remains to be seen whether India will tour Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not? However, looking at the current scenario, it seems impossible.
