Babar Azam (Pic Source-X) Former player Basit Ali is very happy with Babar Azam’s batting in the first ODI match played against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Let us tell you that in the first ODI match played against Australia, Babar Azam had scored 37 runs in 44 balls with the help of four fours. According to the former player, Babar Azam is very hungry for runs and he has been seen in his best performance after a long time. Babar Azam had made a very good start in this match but the Pakistani batsman was bowled on the excellent ball of Adam Zampa. Basit Ali has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Babar Azam was looking in good form today. Today Babar was playing in top class. However, he went on the back foot against Adam Zampa and had to lose his wicket. It is good to see that Babar Azam is still hungry for runs. This very thing was missing in all formats for a long time but after so many years, he was again seen batting top class. Babar Azam will now have to make big scores: Basit Ali The former player further said, ‘Our people will not be happy at all with 37 runs. Everyone wants Babar Azam to score 137 runs. Similarly, Indian fans will not be happy with Virat Kohli’s inning of 70 runs because they want the experienced batsman to score 170 runs. If big players score 50 runs then it has no importance. However, this 37 runs is a very good sign that Babar will bat even better in the remaining matches. Let us tell you that the second ODI match between these two teams will be played in Adelaide on 8 November. Both the teams would definitely like to win the upcoming match. If Pakistan wants to survive in this ODI series, then it is very important for them to win the second ODI match. Babar Azam will definitely look to score big in this match.

“Big shots after two-three dot balls…”, Sunil Gavaskar got angry on the mentality of Indian batsmen.
Veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding the mentality of Indian batsmen. Sunil Gavaskar & Team India (Photo Source: The performance of Team India’s batsmen in the Test series against New Zealand was quite disappointing. The batsmen struggled against spin throughout the series and could not perform well even against the fast bowlers. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the series. At the same time, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan looked in good form but could not score runs with consistency. Team India is going to play a five-match Test series against Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November 22. The form of Indian batsmen remains a matter of concern before the start of the series. Meanwhile, former veteran player Sunil Gavaskar has given a big statement regarding the mentality of Indian batsmen. He said that there was a problem in temperament, due to which the team lost the series. There is more problem of temperament – Sunil Gavaskar Sunil Gavaskar believes that the mentality of the players is that if they play a few dot balls then they start playing aerial shots, which is not required in red ball cricket. He stressed that Bharti was losing wickets quickly due to its risk-taking mentality. Sunil Gavaskar while talking on India Today said, Certainly the problem of temperament is more because the temperament is like this now and this is again the legacy of white-ball. Are there two or three dot balls? We have to try to put pressure on the bowlers. So go for the bigger shot, if it’s spectacular then go for the aerial shot. But where the ball is doing something, these chances are very less. So when the technique is there, the temperament is thinking that I can do this because the boundaries are small. The bats are very good, the players are also strong, so we can deliver it in the stands. Let us tell you, if Rohit Sharma and Company are to reach the final of the World Test Championship, they will have to win four out of five matches of the upcoming Test series against Australia.
IPL 2025: These 3 franchises will shower money on Rishabh Pant in the mega auction
Delhi Capitals released Rishabh Pant. Pant, who has been playing a key role for the Capitals since 2016, reportedly failed to reach a consensus with the senior management regarding the captaincy. The management actually did not consider Pant suitable to be given the captaincy, due to which a mutual agreement was reached between the two parties and then Delhi did not retain Pant. With Pant being included in the mega auction pool for the first time in eight years, it will be interesting to see which franchise he will eventually join. Given his aggressive form during his recent series with the bat in the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand, Pant is definitely someone to look out for for teams who would be willing to spend big bucks. In this article, we will talk about those three franchises which will spend money like water behind Pant in the upcoming mega auction. Let us tell you who are those three franchises. Three teams that might want to buy Rishabh Pant in the mega auction (3 teams that might target Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025) 3) Royal Challengers Bengaluru PBKS. (Source:X/Twitter) Royal Challengers Bangalore may have retained former captain Virat Kohli as their marquee retention. However, giving him the command of captaincy still remains a big question mark. Amidst the ongoing speculation, the franchise may consider buying Pant and making him their future captain. Dinesh Karthik recently retired, due to which RCB is lacking a power hitter in the lower middle order, which Pant can fill. Considering the fearlessness with which he bats in the middle order, there can be no better option for Karthik than Pant. It is a bonus that he is also a wicketkeeper and makes him an ideal choice.

IPL 2025: MS Dhoni will not play… whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor for the team – Ponting’s big prediction
MS Dhoni (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Australia captain and new head coach of Punjab Kings, Ricky Ponting has told whether Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can adopt its own formula to manage MS Dhoni’s workload management in IPL 2025. He praised the former CSK captain for playing for so long in the Indian Premier League. CSK has retained Dhoni for Rs 4 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. Former India and Chennai captain Dhoni was retained as an uncapped player as he last played an international match five years ago. Ricky Ponting has made a big prediction regarding 43-year-old Dhoni. Ponting says that CSK will not field Mahi in all the matches in IPL 2025. Before IPL 2025, Ricky Ponting gave a big statement regarding MS Dhoni. Ricky Ponting feels that in order to increase Dhoni’s impact in the upcoming season of IPL, he will be given rest sometimes so that the workload can also be managed. Ponting said in the recent episode of ICC Review, “Two seasons ago he probably had his worst season but then he bounced back last year. He made an impact in some matches like the old MS Dhoni. I think it will be the same now. They may not field him the entire season. They can think of keeping him out of the match and giving him rest to ensure his best performance.” Let us tell you that under the leadership of Dhoni, CSK has won five IPL trophies. MS Dhoni had handed over the CSK captaincy to Rituraj Gaikwad before IPL 2024. However, the Chennai team was not successful in reaching the playoffs last season. CSK stood fifth in the points table. Ponting said, “Whichever team he is in, whether he is the captain or not, he will always be a mentor and leader for that team. Even if he is playing or sitting outside. His height is so big. Dhoni is important for Chennai as he provides leadership on and off the field.”

The former player also presented his side regarding this matter. Former player Ian Healy gave his side on this matter and told Senq that, ‘When you see that the team is complaining about changing the ball then you also feel something is wrong.
