India has to play the first Test of the 5-match Test series against England starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. Dhruv Jurel and Aakash Chopra (Pic Source-Twitter) Former batsman Aakash Chopra has raised questions as to why Dhruv Jurel has been included in the Indian team instead of Sarfaraz Khan and Ishan Kishan for the first two Tests against England. Let us tell you, India has to play the first Test of the 5-match Test series against England starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. The Indian team has been announced for the first two Tests of this series, in which along with KL Rahul and KS Bharat, young wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has also been included. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he raised questions as to why Dhruv Jurel got a place in the Indian team instead of Sarfaraz Khan and Ishan Kishan. Aakash Chopra said in the video shared on his official YouTube channel, ‘Dhruv Jurel has not played much first class cricket. He has played only 15 matches and scored 790 runs in 19 innings. Yes, his best scores have been near 250 and 46.50 is not a bad average. He has scored one century and five half-centuries. If seen this way, is this performance good for Test cricket? And if so, what should Sarfaraz do? Should we assume that unless Kishan goes into first class cricket and scores runs, he will not be included in the Indian team? I don’t see Dhruv Jurel in the playing XI of the Indian team: Aakash Chopra The former player further said, ‘Dhruv Jurel’s selection was quite surprising. First of all, I don’t watch him play at all. KL Rahul will not play as wicketkeeper. Catches were dropped in South Africa too, anyone can drop catches but if you are playing against Ashwin, Jadeja and Axar, then you will have to take catches. 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget
Virat Kohli should open with Rohit Sharma from now on – Aakash Chopra
Meanwhile, analyzing his return to T20I cricket, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that Kohli should partner Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. He believes that Virat has a great template and it takes some time for him to settle down. In such a situation, he advised that if Kohli bats in the powerplay, he will get a good opportunity to make a fast start, which will benefit the team. Virat Kohli should follow his set template- Aakash Chopra In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that, if you look at the entire World Cup, Virat Kohli has a style of playing and when he follows that template he scores a lot of runs. Even in T20, he rarely starts hitting fours and sixes from the first ball. He takes his time. If he has to score runs at a strike rate of 150, he does so in the powerplay. The 46-year-old former cricketer further said, “In New York or West Indies, the pitches will be such that there will be more chances of scoring runs in the first six overs. So ideally you want Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to be together from the start. If you have to follow that template, start doing it now.” Chopra spoke openly about the complexity of the Indian batting unit at this time. With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the side, it is unclear which path the team management will take. If Virat is asked to bat at number three and either Jaiswal or Gill opens, it will force Suryakumar Yadav to bat at number four.

(Image Source: BCCI) Former Indian team opener Aakash Chopra believes that Rinku Singh can be the only left-handed batsman in the middle order of the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. The return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to the T20 format after 14 months has closed the doors for other batsmen. Let us tell you that the Indian team is currently playing a three-match T20 series against Afghanistan. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I think left-handed players will not be in the World Cup. When you choose your top 6 batsmen, you will get only one left-handed batsman, only one, I am not kidding. If Rohit and Virat Kohli start the innings and Suryakumar Yadav comes at number three. You don’t have a wicketkeeper in the top-3. If Jitesh does wicketkeeping then he is a right-handed player. If Hardik comes down then he is also a ride hander. Only one left-handed batsman will be able to make a place in the middle order.” Aakash Chopra made a big claim about Rinku Singh He further said, “If we look at this time, it will be left-handed player Rinku Singh. You will have one or two more left handed players in your team. “Even after preparing to give opportunities to left-handed players last year, we will not be able to make room for those left-handers.” Talking about Rinku Singh, he has performed brilliantly in the T20 format so far. He has scored 278 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 180. He has scored one half-century. He is an expert in finishing the match. Aakash Chopra said that perhaps all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could be the second left-handed batsman. Let us tell you that earlier there was a lot of discussion on the issue whether the selectors will give a chance to young players in the upcoming T-20 World Cup or will they give a chance to experienced players like Virat and Rohit. But looking at the thinking of the team management think tank, it seems that Virat and Rohit can be given a chance in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Tilak Varma did not take full advantage of his opportunity: Aakash Chopra Let us tell you, Virat Kohli could not play the first T20I match due to personal reasons, but he is likely to come back in the second match in Indore. Apart from this, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who could not play in Mohali due to right groin strain, can also make a place in the playing eleven in the remaining matches against Afghanistan.

Aakash Chopra said in a video shared on his YouTube channel, “After Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were out, Tilak Verma was playing at number three and Shivam Dubey was promoted in the batting order. Tilak Verma played well for some time, but then he too was out, losing his wicket to Azmatullah Umarzai. Tilak Verma has not taken full advantage of his opportunity. ‘Will Tilak Verma play the next match?’ Will Tilak Verma play the next match? I think he may be dropped from the playing eleven, because if both Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal become available for selection, then who will be out? No one can spare Shivam Dubey nor will anyone touch Rinku Singh. Don’t know about Shubman Gill, but I think Tilak Verma can be dropped for the next match. 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling
Afghanistan has good batting and it will put pressure on Indian bowlers too- Aakash Chopra

Chopra said in his YouTube video, “Afghanistan has come with a very big team. From Rahmanullah Gurbaz to Gulbadin Naib, they have a lot of heating ability. The pressure will be on the batting of this team because they bowl well in any case.” Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Afghanistan’s batting Highlighting the important role of Rahmanullah Gurbaz in Afghanistan’s batting lineup, the former India opener said, “In batting, if Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s bat speaks, Rahmanullah will become Subhanallah, Mashallah. He will need the support of the middle-order batsmen. If the Afghan batsmen contribute runs, it is a contest worth watching.” Expressing hope for the strong batting of Najibullah Zadran, Chopra predicted a high-scoring match. They said, “My eyes will be on Najibullah Zadran again because he hits sixes hard. He has good strength in batting. Whoever wins the toss will opt to bowl first as the target will be easier to chase. It could be a 180 to 200 run match.” However, Chopra cautioned against overly aggressive strategies for the team batting first and advised aiming for a 200+ score from the start. He argued that such an approach could backfire, resulting in a lower total score in the end. Also read: Good news for Australia fans, David Warner will enter the SCG ground in Hollywood style.

After that, if we look at the previous ODI World Cup, both Rohit and Rahul have performed well. What are Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill doing in the T20I team? Then both names should have been in the T20I team. Rahul still remains in the lower order and bats. So you could feed him there also. Well, Rahul is not in the team, but Rohit has been selected. Virat Kohli is also making a comeback. The interesting thing is that for the last one year you did not even want to keep Virat and Rohit in the T20I team. But now suddenly both are back.

SA20 2024: Aakash Chopra makes big prediction as he reveals the reason behind SA20 success
Aakash Chopra said CSA preferred the SA20, which proved to be excellent. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricketer and cricket expert Akash Chopra told that in 2023 SA20 Why the first edition was so successful and what fans can expect from SA20 2024. Aakash Chopra said on JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’: “I would like to go with AB de Villiers’ prediction that SA20 will soon become the second biggest league after IPL. I think SA20 has got the right direction and content right from the first season. For this you can give credit to Graeme Smith and the South African public. Fans had gathered even at neutral venues in SA20: Aakash Chopra Apart from these, the South Africa Cricket Board also deserves congratulations and credit for the importance given to SA20. It was very important to build a connection with the fans in the first season. You watch any match of the first season and stadiums everywhere were packed. Even at neutral venues, fans had gathered. SA20 has filled a gap that has been there in South African cricket for some time. Read here: “He was playing ODI cricket as if T-20 was going on” – Aakash Chopra said about Rohit Sharma The second thing that went right with SA20 is that CSA gave priority to this T20 league. Some people have complained that South Africa were not playing a full strength team in the Test series and they suffered defeat in the ODI series. But CSA realized that if they couldn’t provide something interesting, they wouldn’t be able to retain players for long. The SA20 is also known for local talent and the quality of their performances.” Left-handed players will be the main attraction this time: Aakash Chopra On expectations from the second edition of SA20, Aakash Chopra said: “The Indian connection, the SA20 teams are owned by IPL franchise owners. Due to this there is an overlap and a connection. The other thing about this league is that it was extremely successful last season, mainly due to the performance of its local players, be it Aiden Markram, Marco Johnson or Kagiso Rabada. I think this time left-arm spinners will play a major role. There is one left-arm spinner in every team. Keshav Maharaj is actually the captain of his team Durban Super Giants. Bjorn Fortuyn of Paarl Royals is also a good left-handed player. There is something about South African pitches where the fast bowlers perform well and the left-arm spinners too.” IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket…
“No one knows why he is not in the team, it is a different story”- Aakash Chopra said about Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan had withdrawn his name from the Test series against South Africa. Ishan Kishan Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been selected ahead of Ishan Kishan in the Indian team for the T20 series against Afghanistan because they can play wicketkeeper-batsman in the middle order. Can play in. Mohali will host the first match of the three-match T20 series between the Men in Blue and Afghanistan on Thursday (January 11), while the other matches will be played in Indore and Bengaluru. The selectors on Sunday named a 16-man squad for the series, with Samson and Jitesh selected as wicketkeeping options. No one knows why Ishaan Kishan is not there – Aakash Chopra In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said that there was no explanation for why Samson was selected in place of Kishan as the wicketkeeper-batsman option. He elaborated, “Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson are the two wicketkeepers, although Samson was not kept as the keeper in the last two series. Ishan Kishan was going as the keeper but now he is no more. No one knows why Ishan Kishan is not there. This is a different story.” The former India opener said that the lack of vacancies in the top order might have forced the selectors to pick Samson and Jitesh. He said, “You have suddenly filled the opening slot. Virat Kohli plays at number 3, he does not play at number 4. Therefore the keeper will have to bat lower in the order. You have only two keeping options who can bat lower down the order, one is Jitesh Sharma and the other is Sanju Samson.” It is noteworthy that Ishan Kishan was out of the recent Test series against South Africa due to personal reasons. There is no clarity whether he has been ignored for the Afghanistan T20I series or he is still not available for selection. Also read: What problem has BCCI faced with KL Rahul now?
When the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there – Aakash Chopra
The Cape Town Test match was over in less than two days. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India recently registered a historic win by defeating South Africa by 7 wickets in Cape Town. This was the shortest match in the history of Test cricket. (depending on the balls). After this match, there is discussion everywhere about the pitch of Cape Town. In this match played in Cape Town, the fast bowlers got a lot of help from the pitch and the batsmen had to struggle to a great extent to score runs. In this series, now former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion. He believes that whenever the pitch is bad, Team India performs its best in that difficult situation. While hosting JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’, Aakash Chopra gave his opinion about the Cape Town pitch. Indian team never complains about the pitch – Aakash Chopra Chopra said, “When a Test match lasts for one and a half days, some results also come. There are some talks regarding the pitch. Some questions have been asked. India have never complained about the quality of the pitches offered. Last time the Wanderers pitch was really bad. To be honest, some players could have got hurt due to this. This pitch of Cape Town was also bad. India still focused on the match and did not complain. I also remember that pitch in Perth (Australia). And it was really bad. You can’t justify a pitch where the ball comes off good length and goes over the keeper’s head. There also India did not say anything. He just competed and showed fighting spirit. In fact, when the pitch is bad, somehow the Indian team performs best there. I think neither such pitches nor dusty pitches are good for the game in India. This is simply not good for the game of cricket.” Also read: Brett Lee seen talking in Hindi in Big Bash League, watch video
“Test cricket is currently in ICU and has been put on ventilator”- Aakash Chopra said about the red ball format.
Many former and current cricketers have criticized Cricket South Africa for preferring SA20 over Test cricket. Regarding this, Chopra has said that the Test cricketer is now in ICU and has been kept on ventilator. He also criticized Pakistan for leaving out Shaheen Afridi from the third Test against Australia to manage his workload ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) starting in early June and the T20 World Cup. Aakash Chopra gave a surprising statement regarding test format In a video on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Test cricket is currently in the ICU and has been put on a ventilator. First of all, there are a handful of teams playing Test cricket and even among them there are only three teams left that can afford to play Test cricket. South Africa announced its B team against New Zealand. The reason is that SA20 is about to start, it is their domestic T20 tournament.” Aakash Chopra further said, “Two Test matches of the WTC cycle have come this time. He said let’s leave the Test match and they will play in SA20, from (Aiden) Markram to (Kagiso) Rabada, everyone should be available there (SA20) and the rest of the kids can play Test cricket.” Aakash Chopra was surprised to see that Pakistan decided to give Shaheen Afridi a break after losing the first two matches of the series. The former Delhi batsman said that it had never happened that any Asian country had dropped its leading bowler from the team in Australia. I am seeing this for the first time.
