In contrast, that season was not that good for Rohit. He scored 332 runs in 16 innings, where he averaged 20.75 and strike rate was 132.80. Chopra’s pre-season rankings have Yashasvi Jaiswal-Jos Buttler and Ruturaj Gaikwad-Devon Conway as the top-2 opening pairs for IPL 2024, while Kishan-Rohit are at number three in that list. Kishan was recently dropped from the central contract of BCCI. In such a situation, this IPL season can be very important for them. If Kishan performs well in IPL 2024, he may get a place in India’s T20 World Cup team.

Ishan Kishan will have a lot to prove in this IPL season – Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I now want to move towards Mumbai. First of all, you have relieved Rohit Sharma of captaincy duties. When we talk about a top class player like Rohit Sharma, we say that a 600-run season will definitely happen. However, he has never had a 600-run season. “This could be that season.” He further added, “There is nothing to prove, but still, there is a lot to prove. I think he will do a lot because he is not the captain. Ishan Kishan must be hungry because he has not got the central contract. It’s the only thing he’s playing. What else is he playing?” The former opening batsman further said, “Either he himself has chosen not to play, or he will no longer be selected. So this is their chance. If you make IPL yours, you have chances to move ahead. Then, of course, Wankhede is a flat pitch, the ball will come on the bat well and go far.”

“I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there”- Aakash Chopra said about the leg spinner.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra is surprised to see the name of experienced leg spinner Yuzvendra Chahal not in the central contract issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Chopra believes that his not getting a place in the contract list is an indication that the selectors and team management have now moved beyond him. The BCCI announced the central contracts for the 2023–24 season on Wednesday, February 28. Chahal was one of the prominent names who was not in that list. Apart from them, names of Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav were also not in that list. Aakash Chopra was surprised to not see Yuzvendra Chahal’s name in the contract list. Chopra believes that the disappearance of Yuzvendra Chahal’s name from the new contract list is surprising in itself. Chopra said that, “I am a little surprised that Yuji Chahal’s name is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara, Akinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan – their names are not there, I can understand. Even Deepak Hooda for that matter. But Chahal’s name not being there – what does it mean? It seems they (BCCI) are looking in a different direction. This is proof of that. Maybe he might have seen some ray of hope, but it did not happen. His name is not there.” The 33-year-old Chahal was a key part of the Indian team in the limited overs format for a few years between 2016 and 2019. Lately, he has been in and out of the team constantly. Chahal has the experience of 72 ODIs and 80 T20Is, in which he has taken 121 and 96 wickets respectively. According to Chopra, bowling all-rounder Deepak Chahar had a chance to get a central contract, had he not been ruled out of the match due to his father’s illness, his name would have been there too.
IND vs ENG: “He was not targeting anyone” – Aakash Chopra said on Rohit’s hunger statement
Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that, when Rohit Sharma said that only those people will be given a chance in Test cricket who have the hunger for Test cricket, then he was not pointing towards any one player. India defeated England by five wickets in the fourth Test in Ranchi on Monday to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on some of the post-match comments from both the captains. He has shared his opinion referring to Rohit’s statement. Akash Chopra’s statement on Rohit Sharma’s ‘hungry’ statement Aakash Chopra said, “Rohit Sharma has said that this is the toughest format and if you have to be successful in it, you need a lot of discipline and dedication. He also said that if someone does not have that hunger then it is obvious, but he was not pointing at anyone.” The former opening batsman further said, “If you listen to him till the end, he also said that there is no one inside or outside the team or squad who is saying that they do not want to play. So he was not targeting anyone.” Aakash Chopra said that what Rohit said was 110 percent correct. However, he said that Indian cricket is in a very good shape as they have some senior and junior players. In the absence of senior players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Team India managed to win the Test series against England.

A round of allegations and counter-allegations is going on from both sides. It is not known what is true and what is false in this. You must trust your player. If a player is saying something then there is truth in his words. Hanuma Vihari is not an ordinary player. Hanuma is the player who batted with one hand when he had a fracture in one of his hands.” The former opening batsman further said, “His journey has been incredible. He has helped Andhra qualify. He united the team. I have a lot of respect for him, whether it was the Sydney match where he played with a hamstring injury and put his career on the line and then he batted with one hand for Andhra. I would really like to believe what Hanuma Vihari says.” meanwhile Aakash Chopra Has expressed hope that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be involved in this so that everything can be evaluated objectively.

He equaled the world record of Wasim Akram. He has just started playing cricket, this was his seventh test match and in this he has scored two double centuries and a score of 171. “It would have reminded you a bit about the beginning of Vinod Kambli’s career.” The former opener further said, “He reminds you a bit of Vinod Kambli at the beginning of his career. He was also a left-handed batsman who played spin very well. Jaiswal also plays spin very well. Of course, due to some off-field issues, Kambli’s career did not progress the way it should have.” However, Chopra expressed confidence that Jaiswal’s career would be quite different from his. He understands the DNA of the game. He hit three sixes in one over off Jimmy Anderson. Once he reached 180, he said he would not rush. He is not satisfied with the century.”

Sarfaraz Khan should get a chance in the third test match- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra Said that, “Either Sarfaraz or Devdutt Padikkal will make his debut. The simple answer to the question is that it should be Sarfaraz because he has been scoring runs for a long time. It is not that Devdutt Padikkal has not been scoring runs for a long time.” The former opener further said, “If you look at this season separately, there is no one in better form than Devdutt Padikkal. This is the right time to give a chance to someone, but Sarfaraz had come into the team before him, just like Rajat Patidar had come before him. You gave a chance to Patidar first. So it is your duty to play Sarfaraz in this match.” Sarfaraz has scored 3912 runs in 45 first class matches at an excellent average of 69.85. Padikkal’s performance has not been that good, he has scored 2227 runs in 31 first class matches this year at an average of 44.54, including four centuries.

Aakash Chopra says that Ben Stokes did not use his bowlers properly. He could not understand the pitch – Aakash Chopra After the Visakhapatnam Test, Aakash Chopra while talking on his YouTube channel said, ‘Do they (England) follow baseball approach in bowling also? They sometimes keep the field in a slightly new way. I like that because it makes you think again and again. However, apart from this, I do not see any aggressive captaincy. Aakash Chopra also strongly condemned the decision of not using Rehan Ahmed in the first 60 overs of the second Test match against India. Aakash Chopra further said, ‘With his field placements and his usage of bowlers, the captaincy is not aggressive at all. On the first day, he did not use Rehan Ahmed for the first 60 overs. He forgot that he had a leg spinner. Aakash Chopra also said that the England team could not understand the pitch properly. Also, Ben Stokes’ team had entered with a fast bowler. This decision of England is also very saddening to Akash Chopra. ,A big mistake was that you did not play two fast bowlers. You went with a fast bowler. And also wanted to go with an all-spin attack, This is a failure to understand the pitch.
