SA20 2024: Aakash Chopra makes big prediction as he reveals the reason behind SA20 success

Aakash Chopra said CSA preferred the SA20, which proved to be excellent. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricketer and cricket expert Akash Chopra told that in 2023 SA20 Why the first edition was so successful and what fans can expect from SA20 2024. Aakash Chopra said on JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’: “I would like to go with AB de Villiers’ prediction that SA20 will soon become the second biggest league after IPL. I think SA20 has got the right direction and content right from the first season. For this you can give credit to Graeme Smith and the South African public. Fans had gathered even at neutral venues in SA20: Aakash Chopra Apart from these, the South Africa Cricket Board also deserves congratulations and credit for the importance given to SA20. It was very important to build a connection with the fans in the first season. You watch any match of the first season and stadiums everywhere were packed. Even at neutral venues, fans had gathered. SA20 has filled a gap that has been there in South African cricket for some time. Read here: “He was playing ODI cricket as if T-20 was going on” – Aakash Chopra said about Rohit Sharma The second thing that went right with SA20 is that CSA gave priority to this T20 league. Some people have complained that South Africa were not playing a full strength team in the Test series and they suffered defeat in the ODI series. But CSA realized that if they couldn’t provide something interesting, they wouldn’t be able to retain players for long. The SA20 is also known for local talent and the quality of their performances.” Left-handed players will be the main attraction this time: Aakash Chopra On expectations from the second edition of SA20, Aakash Chopra said: “The Indian connection, the SA20 teams are owned by IPL franchise owners. Due to this there is an overlap and a connection. The other thing about this league is that it was extremely successful last season, mainly due to the performance of its local players, be it Aiden Markram, Marco Johnson or Kagiso Rabada. I think this time left-arm spinners will play a major role. There is one left-arm spinner in every team. Keshav Maharaj is actually the captain of his team Durban Super Giants. Bjorn Fortuyn of Paarl Royals is also a good left-handed player. There is something about South African pitches where the fast bowlers perform well and the left-arm spinners too.” IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket…

(Photo by Philip Brown/Popperfoto/Popperfoto via Getty Images) Former England cricketer Mark Butcher has given a big statement regarding the World Test Championship. He himself is very upset to see the decline of Test cricket. According to Mark Butcher, the World Test Championship has harmed Test cricket further instead of improving it. Mark Butcher made this statement when South Africa announced its B team for the upcoming two-match Test series against New Zealand. Let us tell you, due to SA20, many experienced players of South Africa will not participate in this test series and many people have strongly criticized the franchise league tournament for this very thing. Mark Butcher said on the Wisden Cricket Weekly podcast, ‘The one thing they did to save Test cricket was the World Test Championship. The point is that your bilateral series has to capture the imagination of the fans and the players of the two countries playing in it. Then there’s the wider audience of cricket and the only way to do that is to be competitive and it’s always been that way. It’s like surrender: Mark Butcher Mark Butcher further said, ‘Wherever this has happened, change has been seen. There has also been an increase in the salaries of players. I have no problem with all these things that are being discussed between the board and the players but this is like surrender. Let us tell you, ICC started organizing the World Test Championship in 2019. A total of 61 matches were played in the first cycle of the World Test Championship. In the first round, India had to face defeat by New Zealand in the final. After this, the final of the second round was played between India and Australia, in which India had to face defeat.

IND v AFG: Team India’s best playing XI for the upcoming T20 series against Afghanistan

Team India (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Senior Men’s Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the 16-member Indian team for the T-20 series against Afghanistan starting from January 11. Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav could not be a part of this series due to injuries. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to the T20 team after almost 14 months. Now the question is, what will be India’s playing XI in the first match of the T20 series against Afghanistan to be played from January 11? Who will get a chance in place of Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav? For this the team management will have to put a lot of thinking. IND v AFG: Team India’s Best Playing XI Openers: Rohit Sharma Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal In the first T20 to be played against Afghanistan in Mohali. Rohit Sharma Yashasvi Jaiswal can enter the opening along with him. He has been performing brilliantly in this format for some time now. Along with this, he also gives a combination of left and right in the top order. In such a situation, Shubhman Gill may have to wait. Apart from his century, Shubman Gill has not performed much in T2oI in this format and his last few innings have been quite worrying. Although this youngster will soon stand on his feet, but looking at the current combination of the team, it seems that he may have to sit for the time being. Middle Order: Virat Kohli, Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wk), Rinku Singh Virat Kohli Performs well in the top order, but against Afghanistan he may have to bat at number 3. His gear in the middle overs and his game against spin will have to improve. Without Suryakumar, Tilak Verma is likely to get a few more chances to prove himself. The young left-hander has been sent up and down the order for quite some time now, and number 4 could be ideal for him. He will also serve as the sixth bowling option. Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma are the two wicketkeepers who have been included in the squad. Sanju Samson has played more T20I cricket in recent times, but he can still fit into the team. He recently scored his first international century. Rinku Singh has been brilliant since his debut in international cricket and it is almost certain that he will play in the middle order. He will play the role of finisher for the team. All-rounder: Axar Patel In this playing XI Akshar Patel Washington will be ahead of Sundar. The left-handed batsman showed better bowling against Australia and he would like to continue that form further. He would like more opportunities to spend some time in the middle while batting. Bowlers: Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar (Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar) India has selected only three fast bowlers in the team, Mukesh Kumar, Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh. These three need to play to strengthen the team in the bowling…

He said, “Whenever it comes to T20, sometimes I do not understand whether I am in the scheme of things or not.

What is this! Jonny Bairstow is very scared of coming to India for the Test series…

According to Jonny Bairstow, if spin tracks are being prepared here then they are not doing well with their fast bowlers. Jonny Bairstow (Photo Source: Twitter) Recently, the Indian team drew 1-1 in the two-match Test series against South Africa. The performance of the Indian team in the first match of this test series was quite disappointing but in the second test the team batted and bowled well and won the match. Now the Indian team has to play a five-match Test series against England, which is starting from January 25. England had announced its team in the month of December last year itself. He would like to defeat India in a Test series at home after 12 years. Recently, England’s experienced wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow has given his opinion regarding Indian pitches. According to Jonny Bairstow, if spin tracks are being prepared here then they are not doing well with their fast bowlers. Jonny Bairstow told Sky Sports, ‘I have full hope that there will be turn in the Indian pitches. Even if not on the first day, by doing this the hosts are doing wrong to their fast bowlers. We know how strong the Indian team is. India can make a different kind of pitch. There is no need to turn in this. We have seen that their fast bowling lineup has been very strong recently. The experienced player remembered the last series against India in his own home. Jonny Bairstow further said, ‘Last time Axar Patel and Ashwin bowled very well. You forgot that our team players also performed very well in the first test match. Joe Root had scored a double century in the first Test match played in Chennai and after that the situation had completely changed. The performance of the England team has also been very good in Test cricket in the recent times and the Indian team has also played very good cricket. England would also know very well that it is very difficult to defeat India in their own home ground. England last defeated India in a Test series at home in 2012. England had won that Test series 2-1. Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket which are impossible to forget These 5 star cricketers can earn crores even by modeling IPL 2024: After taking over the captaincy of MI, Hardik Pandya will do whatever he wants, see playing XI 5 test matches which ended in the fewest overs IPL 2024: This strong playing XI of RCB will now bring the trophy to the franchise.

If Steve Smith opens, he will break Brian Lara’s record of 400 runs: Michael Clarke

Steve Smith, Michael Clarke and Brian Lara (Pic Source-Twitter) Recently, David Warner has retired from international Test and ODI cricket after the three-match Test series against Pakistan. He had already decided that he would retire from international Test cricket after this Test series. After David Warner’s retirement from international Test cricket, experienced batsman Steve Smith had presented his side and said that he wants to open the Australian team in this format. Now former Australian captain Michael Clarke has given his stand regarding this. According to him, if Steve Smith opens the Australian team in Test cricket, then he can break Brian Lara’s record of 400 runs. Let us tell you, there are already many such players regarding whom many experts have given their views. Marcus Harris, Matt Renshaw, Cameron Bancroft are already included in this list. All these three players have batted very well in domestic cricket. Michael Clarke said on ESPN’s Around the Wicket podcast, ‘If Smith wants to do it, I hope he should approve it. After listening to Pat Cummins’ quotes I think it will be a simple swap. I think Cameron Green may be seen opening in place of David Warner unless Steve Smith has to do so. If he has to open, then Steve Smith should open and Cameron Green should bat at number four or number 6. Steve Smith is a very good player: Michael Clarke Michael Clarke further said, ‘Steve Smith is a very good player and he is completely ready for this challenge. If Smith opens, he will be the best opener within 12 months. There is nothing to be surprised if Steve Brian breaks Lara’s record of 400 runs because he is a very good batsman and he can bat the whole day. Till now, no statement has come from the Australian Cricket Board regarding who will replace David Warner, but now the team has to play a Test series against West Indies at home and before that they will have to announce the team.
