Samson tried as opener in T-20 series against Bangladesh Sanju Samson (Photo Source: Getty Images) Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has recently achieved a big feat in T20I cricket. He achieved the feat of scoring two consecutive T20I centuries for India. But he could not even open his account in the second T20 match against South Africa. Let us tell you that Samson was a part of Team India for the T20 World Cup 2024, but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. After the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from T20 International, after which the opening slot became vacant. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal were considered to open along with Abhishek Sharma in the T20Is, but both Gill and Jaiswal were rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson was tried as an opener against Bangladesh In such a situation, the team management led by Gautam Gambhir decided to try Sanju Samson as an opener. Samson flopped in the first two T20 matches against Bangladesh, but scored a century in the third match. He also got a chance to open in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa and Sanju maintained his form and scored a century in the first match. Now former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels that Samson has confirmed his opening place. He said that Samson has made a lot of technical changes in his batting style and in future he should open with Jaiswal. Samson has cemented his place as an opening batsman – Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, I think he (Samson) has cemented his place as an opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal and he will remain an opening batsman in the T20 format for at least some time. He has made many technical changes, especially to suit this format. He focused a lot on hitting sixes. He further added that, against Keshav Maharaj, he stepped out but missed the length of the ball. Maharaj beat him in the air, but Sanju held his position and waited for the shot and hit it over cover. He is a guy who doesn’t panic even if he misses the length and grabs that extra second. It’s a very difficult skill, but he does it very well. This is what makes them very special.
“I 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup” – Big claim of Hitman’s childhood coach
Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is after winning the T20 World Cup. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India captain Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad has said a surprising thing. Dinesh Lad believes that, even if Rohit Sharma takes retirement from Test cricket after the final of the World Test Championship 2025, he will be seen playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup. He says that Rohit is increasing in age and he can retire from Test cricket after T20 International cricket to focus on ODI cricket. After T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma had announced his retirement from T20 International cricket. Speaking to Dainik Jagran, Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach Dinesh Lad said, “I am not saying that he will retire from Test cricket after the final of the ICC World Test Championship 2025. Maybe even take retirement, because as his age is increasing, it looks like he may retire from Test cricket. His childhood coach Dinesh Lad gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma The reason for this could also be that he wants to keep himself completely fit for ODI cricket. However, I give 100 percent promise that Rohit Sharma will play the 2027 ODI World Cup.” The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 will be played in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Actually, Rohit Sharma wanted to win one ODI World Cup in his career and keeping that in mind, Dinesh Lad has given this statement. He was not selected in the squad for the 2011 ODI World Cup, which India won. After this, in 2015 he could not help the team win the World Cup, whereas despite scoring the most runs in the 2019 World Cup, his team lost in the semi-finals. At the same time, India had to face defeat in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. India had won 10 matches till the semi-finals and the team lost in the final. In such a situation, it is possible that we may see Rohit Sharma playing in the 2027 ODI World Cup.

Reports asked Naqvi if he was looking forward to meeting Shah when he visits as ICC chairman. Reiterating his previous statement, Naqvi said, “I don’t think the details of their meetings have been finalized yet. Nothing has happened so far due to which the Indian team should postpone or cancel its participation. So, all the teams will come.” With India yet to confirm their participation, it is likely that the tournament will be played as a hybrid model and include a venue outside Pakistan for India’s matches – as has been done for the first Asia Cup.

Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it. He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.

Former Pakistan cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Rashid Latif says Team India will come to Pakistan for Champions Trophy 2025, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as ICC president. He will take over as ICC president from December 1. Instead of regretting this news, some former Pakistani cricketers have raised PCB’s hopes regarding the Champions Trophy. In this regard, a former Pakistani cricketer has assured that now no one can stop India from coming to Pakistan. Pakistan is very excited to host an ICC tournament on home soil for the first time in almost three decades. But no one still has an answer to the question whether the Indian team will go to Pakistan or not. Jai Shah as ICC President raises Pakistan’s hopes: Rumors are flying that BCCI does not want to send Team India to Pakistan. According to media reports, India wants to play its matches at a neutral venue. Amidst all this, Secretary Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the new President of the ICC. After this, many fans have predicted that the Indian team will not tour Pakistan under any circumstances. But on the other hand, Pakistan’s hopes have doubled with this news. The reason for this has been explained in detail by Pakistan’s former captain Rashid Latif. What did Rashid Latif say? Rashid Latif, while talking on the YouTube channel ‘Caught Behind’, said, “If Jay Shah is elected unopposed, it means that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has supported him. I think it is unlikely that he will sign the declaration of India not going to Pakistan. I think we have got 50 percent confirmation that the Indian team is coming to Pakistan. Jay Shah’s work has been beneficial for cricket so far, be it for BCCI or ICC.”
“The doors of return to Team India are closed for Pujara”- Former veteran cricketer made a shocking claim
Cheteshwar Pujara. (Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has questioned the absence of senior Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as well as Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh from the four Duleep Trophy teams. He said that if Pujara was a contender for a place in the Test team, he could have proved to be an important batsman for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Senior star cricketers including captain Rohit Sharma, key batsman Virat Kohli, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have been rested from the Duleep Trophy. While Pujara and Rahane have been dropped from the team, Samson and Rinku Singh did not find a place in any of the four teams selected for the Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali said that he was surprised by the non-selection of some big names. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement about Cheteshwar Pujara Baris Ali said on his YouTube channel, “I saw the teams and I was surprised that 3-4 names are not in it. Ajinkya Rahane is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara is not there. Sanju Samson is not there. Rinku Singh is not there. Shivam Dubey has been selected. I think he is being prepared as an all-rounder. Let’s see who performs well in the Duleep Trophy.” He further added, “Pujara could have proved useful in Australia. I am surprised that he is not there despite Gautam Gambhir being there (as India’s coach). Even Rinku Singh is not in the squad. Again, keeping Gambhir in mind, it is quite surprising.” Let us tell you that apart from young Shubman Gill, players like Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been given the responsibility of captaincy in the teams for Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you that the first match of this tournament will be played on 5 September.
Hasan Ali gave a big statement on Mohammad Hafeez’s claim of ‘sleeping’ in the dressing room during the Australia tour
Mohammad Hafeez was the team director on the Australia tour Hasan Ali and Mohammad Hafeez (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, a big statement came from the former director of the Pakistan cricket team, Mohammad Hafeez, when he said that during the Pak team’s tour to Australia, some players were seen sleeping in the dressing room. It is noteworthy that since November last year, Hafeez had not only become the director of the Pakistan team but was also seen in the role of interim coach of the team on the New Zealand tour after the Australia tour. But now a big statement has come from the team’s fast bowler Hasan Ali on this statement of Hafeez. Let us tell you that last year when Pakistan was on a tour to Australia for a three-match Test series, Hasan Ali was also a part of that team. Hasan Ali gave a big reaction It is worth noting that Hafeez recently said on the Club Praire Podcast with Michael Vaughan and Adam Gilchrist – Gilly, you tell me. When we are playing Test cricket, can a player sleep in the dressing room? And when 4-5 players are sleeping in the dressing room, should I, as a team director, allow this? On the other hand, on this statement of Hafeez, Hasan Ali said on Pakistan’s local media platform – I really don’t know, but whatever Hafeez said, it should be done. I don’t think anyone slept in the dressing room after that. When Hafeez said that I was not a part of the first game, all the players who were not part of the playing eleven were watching the game sitting in the dugout. The management was also sitting there. Ali further said- But I would say in Test cricket, especially for fast bowlers, when you bowl for a day and a half you need to recover, and you can take a nap of 20-30 minutes. But this is only for those who feel that they need it.
Only Bumrah bowls accurate yorkers in death overs, former Australian fast bowler makes a big claim
Bumrah’s main weapon is the yorker, which he uses cleverly in the last overs Jasprit Bumrah. (Image Source: Getty Images) Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee believes that apart from Jasprit Bumrah, most of the pacers are struggling to bowl effective yorkers in the death overs. Talking about the importance of the yorker, Brett Lee said that Bumrah is currently one of the most complete bowlers in world cricket. Bumrah (Jasprit Bumrah) can bowl a wicket-taking delivery without giving away any runs. But the yorker is his main weapon, which he uses cleverly in the last overs. “As a general rule, apart from Bumrah we haven’t seen enough fast bowlers bowl yorkers lately. I would like to see fast bowlers bowl more yorkers. I still don’t think they bowl enough yorkers in the death overs,” Brett Lee said at the launch of the Legends Intercontinental T20 League recently. I am all for batsmen, but… The former fast bowler further said that, if you look at the 17 seasons of IPL, on average a yorker has a strike rate of less than 100. Which indicates that there is one run or less per ball. Now, when you bowl a yorker, the batsman can hit a shot through the scoop. This puts pressure on the bowler. Then you have to set the right field. Have to keep two people at the back, third man and fine leg and then bowl. He concluded by saying, I am all for the batsmen, but there should be something for the bowlers as well. I am not asking for a green top where teams get bowled out for 110 runs because that is not good for cricket either. I think you want a good score. A score of around 185 to 230 is a good score. We have seen scores of 265, 270, 277 now. These are really difficult because most bowlers concede 45 to 50 runs in a four-over spell.
“He is mentally very disturbed…”- Surprising claim of former cricketer about Hardik Pandya
Former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa feels that Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya might be going through mental stress amid all the negative reactions he is getting from fans in IPL 2024. The 30-year-old Hardik returned to MI in an off-season trade with Gujarat Titans (GT) and was also made the captain in place of Rohit. As a result, Hardik faced criticism from MI fans across the country. BeerBiceps Speaking on his YouTube channel, Uthappa expressed sympathy towards Hardik and requested the fans to be nice to Hardik. They said that, “This guy knows… He is well aware of the jokes, trolling, memes about his fitness. Don’t you think it hurts him? It hurts any person. How many people know its reality? Hardik is struggling with this, he is definitely mentally disturbed. I think we are emotional people. But it is unbecoming of us to impose this kind of behavior on any human being. We should not laugh at this, we should not carry it forward.” The former cricketer further said, “He has the potential to become the greatest player of all time for the Indian team. The team that scouted him let him go, he went to another franchise. After winning 3-4 titles with them, he left. He must have felt a little bad because he went into GT, won one title and was runner-up in another.” Things became worse for Hardik when he could not perform well as a player and captain this season. This season, Hardik has scored runs with the bat at an average of less than 24 and a strike rate of 146.87. His average in bowling was more than 41 and he gave runs at an economy rate of more than 11.
