Whereas he participated in the ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Now he wants to return to the Indian Test team as soon as possible.

My job is to continue to perform well and play as much cricket as possible. It also takes care that the fitness of the body is maintained. He said, “I am desperate to play in the Test. That’s why I’m playing, I mean if that wasn’t the case then I could have found some reason to sit down.” The Indian team is currently playing a three-match Test series against New Zealand. Now after this, India will play a five-match Test series against Australia in November, it will be interesting to see whether Shreyas Iyer gets a chance there or not.

Varun Chakraborty told the secret of success after the match-winning spell against Bangladesh, know how he made a comeback?
“Earlier I was a side-spin bowler, but now I have become a complete over-spin bowler,” Varun Chakravarthy told the press conference after the match. Varun Chakravarthy (Image Credit- Instagram) After a spectacular comeback and match-winning performances as he returned to international cricket after three years, Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy reveals the secret of his recent success that has led to him being called up to the national team once again. Playing his first international match since the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, Chakraborty took three match-winning wickets as the young Indian team recorded a comfortable eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first T20I in Gwalior on Sunday. How did Varun Chakraborty make a comeback? Speaking on his success in recent years, the 33-year-old player said that the change from side-spin bowling to over-spin bowling helped him achieve more success. “Earlier I was a side-spin bowler, but now I have become a complete over-spin bowler,” Varun told the post-match press conference. The spinner said he worked on this type of bowling for more than two years, starting with some testing in the Tamil Nadu Premier League and Indian Premier League. He further said, “It is a small technical aspect of spin bowling, but it took me more than two years. I gradually tested it in TNPL and IPL. Although the mental aspect also had to be worked on, the bulk of the effort I put in was on my technical side.” During his time away from the Indian team, he became one of the main bowlers for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, teaming up with West Indies T20 superstar spin legend Sunil Narine. After a poor 2022 season, in which he took just six wickets in 11 matches, he made a strong comeback in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, in which he took 20 and 21 wickets respectively. In the 2024 IPL, his partnership with Narine in spin bowling and average of 19.14 played a crucial role in the franchise’s first IPL win in 10 years and third title overall.

Is Ishan Kishan’s career over?? He will have to do this to make a comeback in Team India
Ishan played his last international match in November 2023 against Australia. Ishan Kishan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Ishan Kishan, this is the name of the young player who was once considered to be the superstar of Team India. But now his name is nowhere near the team. Recently, BCCI announced the squad of Team India for the upcoming ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka. Ishan Kishan’s name was not there in this squad either. Not seeing his name has raised only one question in the minds of the fans that is his international career over? At the same time, a question in the minds of Ishan Kishan’s fans is what he will have to do now to make a comeback. Let us tell you that some time ago BCCI had issued a notice stating that now only those players will get a place in the national team who will give priority to domestic cricket. But Ishan Kishan did not listen to BCCI and now he has to suffer the consequences of this. Ishan Kishan will be able to return to the Indian team only after playing domestic cricket
After a poor performance, Shadab Khan made a strong comeback in LPL
Lanka Premier League player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. Shadab Khan (Photo Source: X) Lanka Premier League (LPL) player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. In his very first match, he took a hattrick against Kandy Falcons and since then has taken 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in this LPL season. Shadab himself admitted that it has been a remarkable turnaround for him; after not taking a single wicket for Pakistan for quite some time, he is enjoying his return to form in Sri Lankan conditions, especially at his team’s home ground Colombo. Shadab Khan gave this statement on his comeback “I was struggling for three months. I hadn’t taken a single wicket in the last seven international matches. Coming here, starting bowling and now always taking wickets – that’s the beauty of cricket. You should enjoy these situations; sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t. But there should be consistency in the process.” “The pitch was slow and a bit grippy, which helped us. But T20 cricket is very challenging now, with 200 runs being easily achievable. As a spinner, you need variations to succeed on different tracks. Without variations, you can score runs, but with them, you can also take wickets and stop runs. It is important to land the ball in good areas.” “I am performing well for my team and that is a good sign. Taking wickets as the main bowler is positive for me and my team. I want to contribute in all three phases – bowling, fielding and hopefully with the bat as well.”
