Gary Kirsten has serious differences with players and PCB According to a Cricbuzz report, there are serious differences of opinion between Gary Kirsten and the players, as well as with the PCB over coaching staff decisions. Kirsten reportedly requested the appointment of David Reid as high performance coach, which was not in line with the PCB’s priorities, which led to tension. The board reportedly made alternative proposals, which Kirsten did not like. Gary Kirsten’s tenure with the Pakistan cricket team started in May this year. Even after his arrival, there has been no good improvement in the performance of Pakistan cricket team.

There are less than four months left for the ICC Champions Trophy and Pakistan is going to host an international tournament for the first time in more than two decades, so Gary Kirsten’s resignation is a big blow to the Pakistan team and the PCB.

India had to face defeat by 8 wickets in the first test against New Zealand. Ryan ten Doeschate (Image Credit- Twitter X) A three-match Test series is currently being played between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ). So the first match of this series was played in Bengaluru, in which batsman KL Rahul was able to score only 12 runs. After this performance, it seems a bit difficult for Rahul to make a place in the playing eleven of the second test match. Because Shubman Gill may return due to neck stiffness in the first match, apart from this Sarfaraz Khan is in amazing form. Although Rahul had previously performed well against teams like England, South Africa and Bangladesh, but due to poor batting in the Bengaluru Test match, he may have to be dropped from India’s playing eleven. On the other hand, a big statement from Indian cricket team’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate has come out regarding this matter.

So yes, there is competition in the team. Ryan ten Doeschate further said about Rishabh Pant – Of course he has suffered some inconvenience. He batted for a long time in Bengaluru, but he will recover before this Test match.

“’Kohli’s focus is not on numbers, but on winning matches for India’ – former RCB coach warns Kangaroos
Team India will tour Australia in November. Mike Hesson & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Mike Hesson believes that Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where his first goal is to help India win matches rather than making personal records. The former Indian captain is going through a bad phase in Test cricket, he has not been able to register a single 50+ score in Tests this year. Since 2019, he has managed to score only two centuries in the longest format of the game. While his teammates like Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson are making rapid progress in red-ball cricket, Kohli is struggling to live up to his standards. Mike Hesson gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Hesson said, ‘I think Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where he wants to win matches for India. I think it’s a dangerous transition for other teams because if they’re doing that instead of focusing on numbers, big scores will come naturally. The ability to maintain a momentum is important in Australia. For this, the batsman has to be able to counterattack and wait for the right moment to do so. 30 to 60 overs is an important phase there. If Kohli is batting at that time then he will not let the game go astray. It’s about finding the gap, playing shots in the gap. If they try the same this time too and are capable, then they can prove to be dangerous against Australia. Hesson said that despite not having any big scores against Bangladesh, Kohli looked in great form and added that he would do well against teams like New Zealand and Australia. Hesson said, ‘He was in good form and even though he did not score big against Bangladesh, he seemed to be getting into good shape. Going to Australia after playing against New Zealand would suit him as he performs well in these conditions.
“The captain and coach asked me to play red ball cricket…”- Sanju Samson’s big revelation
Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Sanju Samson revealed that Team India’s leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches as they are looking to try him in the Test format. Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries. Samson recently attracted the attention of fans and selectors by scoring a century in the Duleep Trophy match. A few days ago, Sanju Samson scored a century in 40 balls in a T20 International match and saved his sinking T20 career. He has played T20 and ODI cricket for India. After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future. He has consistently performed well in the IPL but has not been able to capitalize on his opportunities in international cricket.
