Aakash Chopra slammed the management for the continuous changes in the batting lineup of the Indian team during the Sri Lanka tour
India performed poorly in the ODI series and were defeated by Sri Lanka 2–0. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) India’s tour of Sri Lanka ended on 7 August. In this tour, India clean swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in the T20 series. However, India’s performance in the ODI series was quite poor and Sri Lanka defeated them 2-0. Under the coaching of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team could not perform well in the ODI format. In this ODI series, it was seen that a lot of changes have been made in the batting lineup of the Indian players. Former player Aakash Chopra put forward his point of view regarding this. In the T20 series, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Riyan Parag also bowled very well and took important wickets for their team. However, in this tour, the players of the Indian team failed to bat well. Aakash Chopra said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Number four has now become a revolving door as we have given batting order to different players in every match. What is the idea of making a player like KL Rahul bat at number 6 or number seven? Why don’t you fight from the beginning? In India, KL Rahul was included in the playing XI for only two matches and then he was dropped. It was really surprising to see this because KL Rahul was in his plans since 2023. This is also because no one else had scored more runs than him in the middle order since 2023. Number four has now become a matter of concern for the Indian team Let us tell you, in the first ODI match played between India and Sri Lanka, Washington Sundar batted at number four but he scored only five runs. After this, Shivam Dubey was given this important responsibility in the second ODI but he could not even open his account and India lost the match. In the third and final ODI match, Rishabh Pant was included in the team and was given batting at number four but he returned to the pavilion after scoring good runs. The Indian team will have to give a chance to such a player in this order as soon as possible, who can bat well at number four and win the hearts of all the fans. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Aakash Chopra lashed out at Team India’s bowling in the third ODI against Sri Lanka, said this big thing
Sri Lanka defeated India by 110 runs in the third ODI. Aakash Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) The third and final match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) was played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday, August 7. Let us tell you that in this match, host Sri Lanka made a big upset and won a big victory against Team India by 110 runs. So with this win, not only did Sri Lanka win the match, but also won the ODI series against the Indian cricket team after 27 years. Batting first, Sri Lanka set a target of 249 runs for the Indian team to win, while chasing which Team India was reduced to just 138 runs in 26.1 overs. On the other hand, after this poor performance of the Indian team in the match, a big statement has come from former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Aakash Chopra. Chopra says that the Indian bowlers were not cruel in this match. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement After the end of the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel- We were not able to finish Sri Lanka’s innings in bowling. There seemed to be a sense of complacency that we would get wickets anyway and if we did not get wickets, we would chase the runs anyway. There was a lack of brutality in bowling. Chopra further said- I think we outplay the opponent and play spin very well on flat wickets. Our bowlers also bowl better than them on such pitches. However, when the pitches start turning, our batting becomes normal and the difference in bowling quality reduces. So, this is a problem they have to solve.
“I don’t remember the last time this happened”- Aakash Chopra on Virat Kohli’s poor performance
Virat Kohli LBW. (Photo Source: Sony Liv) India’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored 24, 14 and 20 runs respectively in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and interestingly, he got out against spinners in all the matches. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, Kohli, who is known to be a very good player of spin, misread the line and length against them. Virat Kohli was out LBW in all the matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka and every time a review was taken on the ball of his dismissal. ODI series In the first match, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him, while Jeffrey Vandersay and Dunith Welalage took his wickets in the second and third matches respectively. Kohli’s struggle against spin is not new. In the last few years, he has struggled a lot against wrist spinners and this trend continued in the Sri Lanka series as well. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli was LBW three times in three innings against spinners. I don’t remember when this happened last time, he was playing the wrong line and also used the review every time. He was not able to put pressure on the bowlers with his batting in the series.” The cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about Shreyas Iyer, who has also struggled in the series. Iyer made his debut after being dropped from BCCI’s central contract but failed to make a mark in the three-match series. He had a great chance to perform well and cement his place in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but Iyer scored only 38 runs in the series. Speaking about this, Chopra said that he is not sure why good spin players are struggling. He said, “Shreyas Iyer is considered a good player of spin, but he too was unable to counter the spinners twice and got out due to speed once. If the performance of our good spin players is like this, then I don’t know why this is happening.”
“Suryakumar Yadav will not play in Champions Trophy 2025”- Aakash Chopra made a big prediction
Suryakumar Yadav has not been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket so far. Suryakumar Yadav and Aakash Chopra. (Image Source: BCCI/X) Suryakumar Yadav, one of the world’s most dangerous batsmen in T20 cricket, has not yet been able to perform as expected in ODI cricket. The ICC Champions Trophy is to be held in February and March next year. The Champions Trophy will be played in ODI format. Former Indian cricketer and famous commentator Aakash Chopra has made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav. Chopra believes that T20 batsman Suryakumar Yadav will not play in the Champions Trophy because he is not fitting into the ODI team. Let us tell you that BCCI has recently appointed Suryakumar as the captain of the Indian T20 team. He beat Hardik Pandya in the race for captaincy. However, Surya did not get a place in the ODI squad against Sri Lanka. Aakash Chopra made a big prediction about Suryakumar Yadav When Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar was asked about this in the press conference, he said in clear words that Surya will remain a part of the T20 setup for now. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Suryakumar Yadav was part of the team that reached the ODI World Cup 2023 final. He was also in the team that played the T20 World Cup 2024 final. He took a wonderful catch of David Miller. However, Surya is no longer a part of the ODI team. In such a situation, when questions were asked about Surya, it was said that he is a great and special player but will be seen playing only in T20 Internationals. His name was not considered in ODIs. If his name is not being discussed and the Champions Trophy is about to come. So you can assume that Suryakumar will not be seen in the Champions Trophy. The former cricketer said that Shubman Gill is sure to play in the Champions Trophy. Chopra said, “Gill will be seen in the Champions Trophy. He (Agkar) said that Gill is a player of all three formats. Gautam Gambhir (head coach) also believes that if a player of all three formats is found then there is nothing wrong. Gill’s captaincy has also been seen. Whatever captaincy he has done, it has been liked. Therefore, he has also been made the vice-captain.
Akash Chopra is shocked by Kuldeep Yadav not being selected in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, former player gave a big statement
Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. Kuldeep Yadav (Pic Source X) Former player Aakash Chopra is quite surprised to see why Kuldeep Yadav has not been included in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 series against Sri Lanka. Let us tell you, Kuldeep Yadav’s performance has always been very good in international cricket. He has bowled very well in T20 cricket as well and has won the hearts of many fans. India now has to tour Sri Lanka which is starting from 27th July. The Indian team will first play a three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka and then a three-match ODI series. India has announced its team for both these series. Aakash Chopra has also raised the question as to why Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal have not been included in the Indian team for the entire tour. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Kuldeep Yadav’s name is not in T20 cricket. This is really surprising because this player has recently won the World Cup and his name is not in the T20 team. Has something like this happened that we do not know about? He has been included in the ODI team but I have no idea why the brilliant spinner is not being played in T20.’ Aakash Chopra also gave his opinion on Rituraj Gaikwad and Yuzvendra Chahal Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Yuzvendra Chahal’s name also comes to mind. He was also a part of the World Cup and now he is nowhere. Ravindra Jadeja is also not in the ODI team. What is happening? He has retired from the T20 team but an experienced all-rounder is available for ODIs. If Jadeja is available and still not playing, then I think the Indian team is going in some other direction. Rituraj Gaikwad has also been dropped from both formats. What has Rituraj done that his name has not come up? 6 months ago he was a strong contender to become the captain of the Indian team in which Shubman Gill was not playing but now Gill has become the vice-captain and Rituraj is not even a part of the team. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

Ravindra Jadeja’s stats have not been that good in T20 cricket: Aakash Chopra
Ravindra Jadeja has scored 515 runs in 41 T20 innings in international cricket at an average of 21.46 and a strike rate of 127.16. Not only this, this excellent player also has 54 wickets to his name. Ravindra Jadeja Image Credit- Twitter X) Former player Aakash Chopra believes that the performance of experienced Indian team all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was not so good in T20 cricket. According to him, Ravindra Jadeja failed to leave his mark in T20 cricket. Let us tell you, India defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024. After winning this great World Cup, Ravindra Jadeja along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have also retired from T20 cricket. Ravindra Jadeja failed to leave his mark with batting in this tournament. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Talking about Ravindra Jadeja, the kind of player he is, his performance should always be very good in T20 cricket. However, his statistics in this format have not been so good, especially in international cricket. Not only this, the experienced all-rounder could not leave his mark in this World Cup as well. However, you are part of a team that believes that Jadeja can perform well. This is the reason why Ravindra Jadeja was included in the playing XI of all the matches. The most important thing was that this team played only 12 players in the entire tournament. They did not make any changes in their playing XI. Yes, the excellent all-rounder played a very short but important innings in the semi-finals but he could not leave his mark with his bowling. If you give Jadeja a chance to bowl on a pitch of his choice, he will perform very well: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further said, ‘If we ignore this World Cup, he has performed very well. Ravindra Jadeja has been a very good fielder. There is hardly anyone better fielder than him in cricket at this time. If you give him bowling on a pitch of his liking, then this great player will bowl and bat very well.’ Ravindra Jadeja has scored 515 runs in 41 T20 innings in international cricket at an average of 21.46 and a strike rate of 127.16. Not only this, this excellent player also has 54 wickets to his name. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

After the final of this important tournament, former player Aakash Chopra has praised Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. Aakash Chopra also said that Rohit Sharma is the third Indian captain who has won the World Cup. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘He has five IPL trophies. He won the Champions League and also retired from T20 cricket after winning the T20 World Cup. He has always left his mark in captaincy. After Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Rohit is the third Indian captain to win the World Cup trophy. It will be remembered for many decades that the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.’ Rohit Sharma is made of 24-carat gold: Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra further revealed that there is no player who has not praised Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Not only this, he called the Indian captain 24 carat gold. Let us tell you, Rohit Sharma played a match-winning innings of 92 runs against Australia in this important tournament. Not only this, the Indian captain also scored an important half-century for his team against England in the semi-finals. Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Why is his captaincy so good? This is because Rohit creates a great atmosphere. Whoever you talk to, they will say that Rohit Bhaiya is a very good captain. I have not met a single person till date who has spoken ill of Rohit Sharma. I cannot say this for everyone but I can definitely say this for Rohit. Everyone praises him a lot. Rohit is 24-Carat Pure Gold.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

“Where is Avesh Khan after all….”- Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra raised questions on Indian management
The team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that?- Aakash Chopra Avesh Khan and Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian young fast bowler Avesh Khan got a place in the team in the Zimbabwe tour, he also took 6 wickets in three T20 matches. But then he did not get a place in the squad for both the white-ball series of the Sri Lanka tour. Meanwhile, former Indian player Aakash Chopra is venting his anger on the Indian management. Chopra says that if BCCI wants to invest in Avesh Khan, then they will have to give him opportunities. Avesh should have been on the Sri Lanka tour- Aakash Chopra Cricket commentator Aakash Chopra, while talking on his YouTube channel, said, This is a good question because the team recently went for the T20 World Cup and Avesh Khan was in the reserves. Where is Avesh Khan after that? If we want to invest in him then Avesh Khan should have been there. He should have been there on the Sri Lanka tour and should have played matches in Zimbabwe as well, where was he – nowhere to be seen. Prasidh Krishna has the potential to become a good bowler- Aakash Chopra Aakash Chopra has expressed his desire to see fast bowler Prasidh Krishna in the T20 format. He also stressed that even though Prasidh Krishna is an expensive bowler, he has the potential to become a great bowler in the T20 format. Let us tell you that Prasidh Krishna was part of the Indian squad in the ODI World Cup 2023. After the tournament, he played a few more matches for India. But he got injured while playing for Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. No information has been revealed about when Prasidh Krishna will be able to return. I personally rate Prasidh Krishna very highly, although his stats in T20s are not very good. He has taken a beating whenever he has played, but I would like to invest. He has the potential to become a very good bowler even at the highest level. So they should start investing in him right now and have a clear roadmap for Avesh Khan as well.
