I would like to become a spin bowling coach: Rahul Sharma made a big revelation during an exclusive conversation with Crictracker.
Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. Rahul Sharma (Pic Source-Twitter) Former Indian team spinner Rahul Sharma is currently seen playing for India Capitals in Legends League Cricket. Rahul Sharma played a total of 6 matches for Team India in international cricket in which he took 9 wickets. Recently, in an exclusive interview with Crictracker, he made big revelations about many things. Question: Currently you are playing LLC. Earlier the players were not able to participate in league cricket after retiring from international cricket. What do you think is the importance of this tournament? Rahul Sharma: It is a good thing because in Team India also we have played many matches together. We also enjoy playing together and meeting each other. IPL is a big tournament and people from there are seen playing in this league after retirement. Shikhar is brother, he has also participated in this league for the first time and I am enjoying watching him play. Question: Shikhar Dhawan has recently retired from all forms of cricket. Do you think he should have been given more chances? Rahul Sharma: Players know when they should retire and when not. Like I was also playing and recently I also took this decision. This is Shikhar Bhai’s thinking and I cannot say anything about it. Question: As a leg spinner, you played for Team India. Talking about Yuzvendra Chahal, he bowled very well along with Kuldeep but now he is not getting opportunities. To make your place in Team India, should you play as an all-rounder or bring variation in your bowling? Rahul Sharma: Chahal is playing well consistently. He has also performed brilliantly in the county. But as the game is changing, batting is also becoming important. There is no doubt that Chahal is a great bowler and I admire him myself. It is necessary for him to make changes in his batting also. One thing is also that it depends on the captain and coach as to what kind of team they want. Now Gautam Bhai is also there. They will have to take decisions. Gautam Bhai also needs a match winning bowler. Question: Recently, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired from T20 format after winning the ICC T20 World Cup. Don’t you think they rushed? Rahul Sharma: Look at the decision of both these players. T20 format is a fast playing format. Both Rohit and Virat are among the best batsmen in the world. Rohit Sharma has participated in all the T20 World Cups and this is no small thing. According to me, whatever decision was taken, both of them took it of their own free will. Question: Virat Kohli has been seen struggling against spinners in recent times. You yourself are a leg spinner. What would you like to say about this problem of Virat Kohli? Rahul Sharma: What can I say about Virat Kohli. I have known him since childhood. He is one of the best batsmen in the world. I am no…

How did you feel when you learned this and why is it important for retired players? Dhawal Kulkarni: This is a very good platform because all the players who are participating here have performed very well for the Indian team in domestic cricket, in international cricket and for their respective teams. We will be able to see him playing once again in this tournament also. Question: Last 1 to 2 years ago you were participating in the Indian Premier League, however you retired. What was the reason behind this because there are some players who are around your age and we can still see them playing in this important tournament? Dhawal Kulkarni: There is no such thing, I was playing cricket for the last 18 years. I have also performed very well in domestic cricket for Mumbai. The best thing is that Mumbai cricket has many talented young players who will be seen performing well in the times to come. I just wanted that other players should get a chance after me. Question: You talked about the fast bowlers of Mumbai. Who do you think are the young fast bowlers from Mumbai whom we will see playing for Team India in the future? Dhawal Kulkarni: No, there are such players. There is Mohit Awasthi who has bowled very well in domestic cricket and also there is Tushar Deshpande. Tushar Deshpande has bowled brilliantly in the Indian Premier League and has also left his mark in domestic cricket for Mumbai. He will also be seen bowling tremendously in international cricket in the coming times. Question: When you played your last home match, the wicket of your Umesh Yadav was a shock and this was also your last wicket. Do you have any memories regarding that? Dhawal Kulkarni: It was a very emotional time for me because I knew it was my last match. Also it was a very good time for me. I also had to make my team win this match. Question: You have also been a part of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and have also played a lot of cricket with Rohit Sharma. What has changed in him now that was not there before? Dhawal Kulkarni: There has been a lot of change in Rohit Sharma personally. He has also made a lot of changes in his captaincy and his batting has also become stronger now. He has started taking responsibility himself, which is a very good thing and if you ask…

Joburg Bangla Tigers have performed well so far in this tournament and have secured their place in the finals. Joburg Bangla Tigers will play the final match against Cape Town Samp Army on 29 September at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. However, before this final, Chris Lynn made a big statement regarding the Jim Afro T10 League tournament and also praised his team. While talking to Crictracker, he also presented his side regarding his batting. Chris Lynn was asked the question that he and Sunil Narine together made the record of scoring 105 in the powerplay for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, which was broken by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. On this, the experienced player said, ‘Sunil Narayan is really an excellent player and scoring 105 runs in the powerplay is a big thing. We were in Bengaluru. Chahal is a very good bowler and we batted very well against him. We were on 99 runs and I hit a six on the last ball and took the team’s score beyond 100. This year Head also scored 15 to 20 runs in every over and he batted really aggressively and broke this record. I am very happy for him myself. Question: In Jim Afro T10 League also we saw players scoring centuries. You yourself have played many matches in T20 format. We have seen even the best scores being broken. What would you like to say about this tournament? Chris Lynn: This is the shortest format of cricket and all the players want is to score the biggest score while batting aggressively. We should not consider anyone weak because the wicket is the same for everyone and the ball is also of the same size and the boundaries are also the same for everyone. This is my first time in Zimbabwe and the players also want to present their best performance in front of the world. We just want to finish this tournament on a high note. What are the young players who have left their mark in this tournament? Question: When T20 cricket was started, questions were also raised on this. The T10 format is also in its infancy. What would you like to say about this format? Chris Lynn: The best thing about this format is that you can play three matches in a single day. Sometimes you have to play two matches in the same day and it is a good challenge for the players as well and they get a chance to show tremendous performance against different teams. The T10 format is just beginning and it will take some time for the players to understand it. Question: Just as the T20 format has achieved a new position at the international level, can the T10…
Praveen Kumar Exclusive: Friendship with Rohit, captaincy and IPL coaching, read Crictracker’s special conversation with Praveen Kumar
Let us know what Praveen said in this conversation Praveen Kumar (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar was very famous for swing bowling during his cricketing career. His cricket career for the Indian team lasted for about 6 years, in which he performed brilliantly. So these days Praveen is seen in the role of coach in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC). In the ongoing LLC 2024 season, he is working as the head coach of Manipal Tigers. So recently, in a special conversation with Crictracker, which is the official media partner of the ongoing season of LLC, he talked about Rohit’s captaincy, IPL coaching and other important topics. So here are some questions and answers from this special interview with Praveen Kumar: Question: What do you have to say about your new role in LLC? Praveen Kumar:It feels great. Question: Can you coach the Indian team or any IPL team? Praveen Kumar: Yes, definitely, if someone gives me a chance I will definitely go. Question: You have played a lot with Rohit, he is also a very good friend of yours, did you think at that time that he would become such a successful captain of India? Praveen Kumar: It definitely seemed that he has quality. His captaincy is very simple, it is not like any hot-fisted captaincy, panicking, this is happening, he remains normal. It feels good when he captains. Question: If someone wants to become a fast bowler in India then what is most important for him? Praveen Kumar: See, some bowlers are natural. See, there are only a few bowlers who can bowl 150 balls, there is a little difference in their physique, their arm, Shoaib Akhtar’s arm is a little different, RP’s is also like that, Bumrah’s arm is also like that, otherwise bowlers from all over the world would have bowled 150 balls. That is because their training is different, their body is different, that is why they are different bowlers. Question: Bumrah is currently doing well in all three formats, so who can be the next Indian bowler like him? Praveen Kumar: No, there are a lot of boys. There is a boy named Akashdeep who is doing well, so boys are coming.
Jaiswal increased Rohit’s tension, struggled against the fast bowler in the nets, had a long conversation with Virat
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled against the pacers in the nets on Sunday, September 15, ahead of the start of India’s first Test against Bangladesh. The Test match will be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal struggling in the nets, former captain Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir had a word with the youngster to help him regain his confidence. Let us tell you that Jaiswal failed to make an impact in the first class match in the current season as well. In the Duleep Trophy match, he returned to the pavilion cheaply on the balls of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. Before the match against Bangladesh in Chennai, Jaiswal practiced a lot against Bumrah. However, he looked troubled against net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh along with Bumrah. The ball took the outside edge of his bat many times. Yashasvi Jaiswal got bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the nets According to a report in the Indian Express, Kohli was standing near the centre-square of the MA Chidambaram Stadium waiting for his turn to bat, where this incident took place. During this time, Jasprit Bumrah bowled Jaiswal by uprooting his middle stump in the nets. The ball hit the stump between Jaiswal’s bat and pad. After this, Jaiswal was seen talking to Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.
“Be relaxed, I have to hit the first ball, but hit it”- Jurel said about his first conversation with Rohit
Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel has shared memories of his first conversation with Rohit Sharma during a training session ahead of his debut Test series against England earlier this year. The wicketkeeper-batsman was included in Team India for the first time for India’s home Test series against England. During this series, he got a chance to share the dressing room and interact with the Indian captain. However, Jurel revealed that he could not muster the courage to talk to Rohit and it was Rohit Sharma who came forward to talk to Jurel first. Dhruv Jurel spoke about his conversation with Rohit Sharma In an interview with Jatin Sapru on YouTube, Dhruv Jurel said, “My eyes met Rohit Bhaiya many times, but I could not muster up the courage to talk to him. Then he called out to me, ‘Come here!’. Then he said, ‘What happened? Everything is fine? You have come because you have the strength, you have potential. Relax, be carefree. If you want to hit the first ball, hit it. Just be 100 percent sure and hit it’. That was the conversation and it happened before I had even made my debut.” Jurel, who plays for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket, said the mood in the Indian dressing room is much lighter than in his state team. He also recalled the incident when he was hit on the shoulder by India’s throwdown specialist Raghu in the nets and revealed what Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer told him after that. Jurel said, “There are songs playing in the Indian dressing room. This was completely new for me, because the atmosphere in the state dressing room is not like that. It is very strict there. I was facing Raghu bhai in the nets and I hit a very good drive to him. On the very next ball, he hit a big bouncer on my shoulder. Then Axar and Iyer came to shake hands with me. I was surprised why they were shaking hands with me. They just said, welcome to Indian cricket!”

After Shane Warne’s 40-minute conversation, Piyush Chawla created a stir in IPL – know what happened?
Inspired by Shane Warne’s words, Chawla repaid the faith the team had shown in him. (Photo Source: BCCI) Australia’s iconic leg-spinner Shane Warne has helped many budding spinners in his country as well as the rest of the world. However, he passed away in the year 2022. Veteran Indian spinner Piyush Chawla recently recalled a conversation with the late legend Shane Warne, which has had a huge impact on his career. Talking about Piyush Chawla, he represented Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in the first edition of the IPL in the year 2008, when he was just 19 years old. The T20 format was new in India at that time, and like many others, Chawla was also trying to understand the format and gameplay of T20 cricket. He made his T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in 2007, where he registered impressive figures of 3-23. However, he struggled in the big leagues early in his career, conceding 46 runs in three overs in his first two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Piyush Chawla made this statement while speaking on 2 Sloggers Podcast “Our first match was against CSK and they had scored 230+ runs. I bowled one over and gave away 20 runs. So I just got one over. I thought ‘no problem. What’s done is done’. After that we reached Jaipur for the second match against Rajasthan Royals. We batted first and I scored 24 runs off 11-12 balls. When I came to bowl, I gave away 30 runs in 2 overs. After that I went to my room and thought ‘this T20 cricket is not my cup of tea’.” He further said, “After the match, Yuvraj came and introduced me to the great Shane Warne. I went to his room and started talking. I was not able to speak English and he was not able to understand much. But whatever little I understood, he understood. After 40 minutes I came out of his room and I am not joking, I felt that there is no bowler better than me. He told me a lot of things and explained me small things about cricket.” Piyush Chawla registered figures of 2- 16 in the next match against Mumbai Indians Inspired by Shane Warne’s words, Chawla justified the faith the team had shown in him. He picked up two wickets for just 16 runs in Kings XI Punjab’s stunning win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Mohali. After this, Chawla never looked back and became one of the highest wicket-takers in IPL history.
