DTVHINDIIND vs BAN: Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting: Aakash Chopra
He might still be Sanju’s fan because of the way he batted: Chopra Sanju Samson (Pic Source-X) Sanju Samson and Gautam Gambhir have shared the dressing room while playing for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. Gambhir, who led KKR and was the team mentor during IPL 2024, had inspired the Kerala batsman to show the world what he is capable of, after being selected in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad. However, Sanju did not get a chance to play in the playing eleven during the T20 World Cup. But now that Gambhir is the head coach of the Indian team, Sanju is continuously getting opportunities in Team India. True to Gambhir’s decision, Sanju played a century in the third T20 match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad. On the other hand, now a big statement from former Indian opening batsman and well-known cricket commentator Akash Chopra has come out regarding the relationship between the two. Chopra has said that Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the India vs Bangladesh third T20 match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Let’s talk about Sanju Samson. Gautam Gambhir had tweeted a few years ago that Sanju Samson is not only India’s best wicketkeeper-batsman but also the best young batsman in the country. Once I was interviewing him (Samson) and I told him that his only aim in life should be to inspire Gautam to tweet. Chopra further said- Gautam used to wait for Sanju to perform well before tweeting. Gautam was a fan of Sanju, because of the way he batted, he may still be a fan of Sanju. First of all he hit five sixes in an over, he said that his guru had asked him to do so, it came to my mind why his guru did not talk about six sixes.

Akash says that Hardik is a very trained player. It is noteworthy that the third match of the ongoing T20 series between India and Bangladesh will be played today, Saturday, October 12, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Team India has already won the T20 series by winning two matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the India vs Bangladesh third T20 match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya, this is a wonderful thing that is happening in the Indian team at the moment. Shivam Dubey used to be a part of this team, but now he is no more, Tilak Verma has come in his place. Nitish has been brought up to speed with the mindset that he should be fed as much as possible. Akash further said- He has been made to bat at number 4 and has been given full overs. They’re trying to prepare him because the potential is clear. I would still say that he is a little less prepared in bowling, because if you see his and Hardik’s bowling, Hardik is a very trained player. He bowls with great experience and takes wickets. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy has ability with the bat. There is no doubt about it because he hits sixes while standing at his place. He opens his front foot, clears the line and then hits.
“I can confirm that there is news”- Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rohit’s absence in the upcoming BGT.
India will face Australia in a five-match Test series, with the first match starting on November 22 in Perth. Meanwhile, if some media reports are to be believed, Rohit may not be available for the first or second test due to personal reasons. In a video shared on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’, the former India opener confirmed the unofficial news. Aakash Chopra said in his video, “This will affect our emotions a bit. There is news about Rohit Sharma. It doesn’t come from official sources but I can confirm that the news is there. The news is that he may miss a match. This could be the first test or it could also be the second test. Since it is due to personal reasons, it is also being said that he may be available for the entire series.” Let us tell you that in the last Australia series, players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not play some matches and Chopra has given his side on this issue. He said that Rohit’s possible absence for the Test this time would be a big blow for India. The former batsman further said, “He was injured last time and came straight to play the Sydney Test. He was not available in Adelaide and did not play the Melbourne Test. Virat Kohli played the pink-ball Test and was unavailable for the next three Test matches. Here too, Rohit Sharma will not be available for one of the first two Tests and Rohit’s absence will be a big blow to the team.
After the T20 series against Bangladesh, Aakash Chopra made a big statement regarding the future of Varun Chakraborty.
Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets in Gwalior and then took two wickets for 19 runs in the second T20 played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Varun Chakravarthy (Pic Source-X) The best spinner Varun Chakraborty wore Team India’s jersey in the first T20 match against Bangladesh in Gwalior on 6 October after almost 3 years. He took three important wickets in Gwalior and then took two wickets for 19 runs in the second T20 played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Varun Chakraborty has performed very well in the Indian Premier League for a long time and is one of the important players of the team. After Gautam Gambhir becomes the head coach of Team India, Varun Chakraborty can be given many opportunities in the T20 team. Recently, former player Aakash Chopra has given a big statement about Varun Chakraborty. According to him, the upcoming season of T20 World Cup is to be played in India and Varun Chakraborty can also be included in the team. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Varun Chakraborty is making a comeback after a long gap of 3 years. In the first match against Bangladesh, Varun Chakraborty took three important wickets and in the second match, he bowled even better than the first match. He bowled with more confidence. He continuously bowled on the stumps line due to which Bangladesh batsmen failed to play big shots. This is a very good sign for him. After all, why do you want to feed Varun Chakraborty? The next World Cup is to be held in India after 2 years. You included Chahal in the World Cup but did not give him a chance to play even a single match: Aakash Chopra Regarding Yuzvendra Chahal, Aakash Chopra said, ‘You included Chahal in the team. If Varun Chakraborty can do this at the age of 33 then why not Chahal? You included him in the team in the World Cup but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. Great spinners are bowling well in every IPL season but they are not getting a chance in international cricket. I want to know why this is so? The third and final T20 match between Team India and Bangladesh will be played on October 12 in Hyderabad. Varun Chakraborty would definitely like to leave his mark in this match also.

IND vs BAN: Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson may regret missing their chances: Aakash Chopra
Abhishek and Sanju have not been able to perform well in the ongoing T20 series against Bangladesh. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a three-match T20 series is being played between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN). So, in the first two matches of this series, Team India’s openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson have not been able to capitalize on this opportunity. Abhishek could only score 16 and 15 runs in the first two T20 matches, while Sanju could score only 29 and 10 runs. It is worth noting that at present Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad are not playing in the team. In such a situation, both these players had a good chance to prove themselves to the selectors in T20 cricket, but till now both these players have not been able to prove themselves. On the other hand, the statement of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra has come to light regarding this matter. Chopra says that both these players may regret losing their chance. Also, he can be ignored in the upcoming T20 series against South Africa. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the second T20 match between India and Bangladesh, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – One is Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson is with him, this is not a good performance. Two matches have passed, and you haven’t made any significant contributions. You have the license to play long innings. Chopra further said- When the South Africa tour comes, who knows whether Yashasvi, Shubman and Gaikwad may be available, and whether Sanju and Abhishek are opening? Suddenly you have five opening batsmen and five will not play. Ishan Kishan may also start knocking the door after some time, when you find yourself in that situation, you may regret that you had wasted the chances you got. You will need to give yourself some time. Same thing for Abhishek and Sanju, because you are getting a chance to open and you have full 20 overs.

Rinku Singh (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Team India cricketer Aakash Chopra praised Rinku Singh for getting India out of a difficult situation in the second T20I against Bangladesh in Delhi on Wednesday, October 9. He said that the left-handed batsman should have been a part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad. Rinku scored 53 runs in 29 balls and India set a target of 222 runs for Bangladesh. After this, the Men in Blue restricted Bangla Tigers to 135 runs for nine wickets and registered an emphatic 86-run win and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Rinku Singh In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rinku has been mistreated. He said, “Rinku Singh’s story is very interesting. No matter how much you talk about it, it is less. I feel that full justice is not being done to him. He logically should have been in the T20 World Cup squad because if you had seen his performance last year before the World Cup, he was excellent.” Cricketer turned commentator Chopra said that this batsman from Uttar Pradesh has always taken India out of difficult situations. The former batsman said, “He has performed well wherever and whenever he has played. Whenever the Indian team is struggling, he gets a chance to bat, be it against Afghanistan, South Africa or Bangladesh. He has scored a half-century every time and if you look at his strike rate in those innings, you will say he is brilliant.” Chopra finally said that, “That means he is scoring runs, managing the innings, not letting wickets fall, preventing collapses and then the strike rate is so good that you reach the top scores despite early losses. You have phenomenal potential.”
“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant is the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.
“Will be dropped…”- Aakash Chopra gave a stern warning to Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson and Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter) Despite making his international debut nine years ago in 2015, India wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has not been able to permanently cement his place in the Indian cricket team. With the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the shortest format of the game, new head coach Gautam Gambhir and T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav have decided to give Samson a chance as an opening batsman in the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma in the first match of the series at the New Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Samson displayed his timing and technique and scored 29 runs in 19 balls but could not make much impact and was out without finishing the match. meanwhile Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra, while stressing on the upcoming matches, warned that if Samson does not perform well, he could be dropped. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Sanju Samson During a conversation on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it is important to talk about Sanju Samson. Abhishek Sharma was playing brilliantly until he was run out. But how much better Sanju Samson played. Gautam Gambhir had said long ago that if Sanju Samson does not play for India then it is a loss for the team. Gautam Gambhir made him open. He looked good and scored 29 runs. What I am saying is that when he had scored so many runs, he should have gone further. If he does not do this then he will be dropped. He was constantly in and out of the team. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson may get a chance to open in the next two matches and there he will have to try to play big innings. If he performs well in the upcoming matches, he will get a chance in the upcoming series.

Regarding the opening partnership of the Indian team, Anjum Chopra said, ‘The way Shefali Verma and Smriti Mandhana started the opening, both of them failed to do the same. Both of them disappointed once again. They have disappointed us more times than the number of matches they have won together.

Akash Chopra & SRH logo. (Photo Source: YouTube/X/Twitter) Nitish Kumar Reddy has been included in India’s 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. Meanwhile, former cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would like the seam-bowling all-rounder not to get a chance in any of the matches in the series so that they can sell him as an uncapped player ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. Can be retained in. The first T20 match will be played on Sunday, October 6 at the newly constructed Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey are already in the team, so it may be difficult for young Reddy to make a place in the team. However, if Team India is successful in taking an unassailable lead in the series in the first two matches, then 21-year-old Reddy may get a chance to debut for India. Akash Chopra gave a big statement regarding Nitish Reddy Aakash Chopra, in a video shared on his YouTube channel, said, “They must be praying that Nitish Kumar Reddy remains uncapped. They might be saying – ‘Please don’t play him in the T20 series.’ Like Harshit Rana, his name is also in that team and if he gets a chance to play, he will also dominate.” Chopra said that when it comes to capped retention, captain Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and Travis Head will be SRH’s preferred choices. Chopra said, “First of all they have to retain the captain and Abhishek Sharma. You have to retain Heinrich Klaasen and if you can get Travis Head that’s great. These four names come to my mind first. Pat Cummins, since he is the captain, and he has managed the team very well, you would want to retain him.” Let us tell you that Abhishek Sharma had performed brilliantly with the bat in IPL 2024. He finished the tournament with an explosive strike rate of 204.22. Chopra said that SRH should retain this player as he can be one of the most expensive players if he goes to the auction.
