DTVHINDIRohit has been able to pull himself out of the World Cup defeat with great difficulty, made a shocking revelation
Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: X(Twitter) Rohit Sharma led from the front and scored a brilliant century (121* off 69 balls). Thanks to this inning, India won the third T20 match after the double super over against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on January 17 and won the series 3-0. After this match, Rohit had a special conversation with JioCinema and Sports18 and answered some interesting questions. 1) To what extent was India able to execute its plans in the 3-0 series win? We discussed a lot before the series. I had not played for a year, so I discussed ideas with Rahul bhai (Dravid). Although I was watching the match, I was not playing. I understood some things, so we wanted to implement them and also do something different. We wanted our bowlers to bowl differently, no one was comfortable bowling in the power play, so we had to use them there. Some people were not comfortable bowling in the death overs, we asked them to bowl there. 2) How difficult was it to recover from the World Cup defeat? I don’t think anyone needs inspiration here. All boys want to leave their mark. Not everyone gets a chance to play for India, so I’m sure all the boys who are here want to make the most of it. You can see that they are taking full advantage of the opportunities they are getting. With that approach, my and Rahul Bhai’s work has become very easy. We just need to provide clarity. 3) What did you do to reach this form after losing the World Cup? The 50 over World Cup is the biggest World Cup for me. It is not that I do not give importance to the T20 World Cup and the World Test Championship. But, we have grown up watching the 50-over World Cup. And when it happens in India it is a very big tournament. Unfortunately we could not win. The whole team was sad. I’m sure all the fans were sad too. But now we have another opportunity and we will focus on how to use that opportunity and win the World Cup. 4) How much practice did you take to play that reverse sweep and switch hit in the third T20I? I have been practicing it a lot in the nets. You have to play some shots to put pressure on the bowlers. When the ball is spinning and you can’t hit it straight, you have to try something new. I have been practicing reverse sweep and sweep for the last two years. You might have seen me playing him once or twice in Test matches. You have options and it is up to you how you use those options. The ball was turning and getting grip today, so I thought I would play with turn rather than going out and hitting it hard in front of the wicket.
“My opinion is different”, AB de Villiers does not want Virat Kohli to open in T20
Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after almost 14 months. Virat Kohli And AB de Villiers (Photo Source: Twitter) Virat Kohli has returned to T20I cricket after about 14 months. He played a useful inning of 29 runs in the second T20 match against Afghanistan in Indore. However, amid discussions about him opening, he came to bat at number 3. Many veterans believe that Kohli should open the innings with Rohit. Now, South African veteran player AB de Villiers has advocated for Virat not to open. He believes that Virat Kohli has a good track record as an opening batsman in T-20 cricket, but still he would not want Kohli to open for India. He also said that Kohli is perfect for number-3 due to his ability to play the role of anchor and build partnerships with middle-order batsmen. ‘Virat batting at number 3 was the biggest threat for us’ Speaking in his YouTube video, de Villiers said, I have a different opinion. For most of my international career, when we played against India, Virat batting at No. 3 was the biggest threat to us. I always felt that he was the pivot of the team in the middle order. De Villiers further said, number-3 is not the middle order, but it is the top order. He is often associated with the middle order. Even with the tail batsmen. It is impossible to play against him. “I am concerned about that position,” he said. However, the figures are not bad. When Virat plays as an opening batsman, his average is 23 and strike rate is 138. When he does not face the first ball and is at the non-striker’s end, he averages 140 and has a strike rate of 173. read this also- Cricket Buzz: Know about the amazing tweet of January 17 which is going viral very fast

It is very important to take advantage of the first six overs in T20 World Cup 2024 – Aakash Chopra
Team India is working hard for the prestigious tournament Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) All the teams have already started preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024. Team India is also working hard for this prestigious tournament and is moving towards forming a strong squad. Earlier, the team had lost in the ODI World Cup 2023 final and its dream of winning the title was shattered. Therefore, the team will be expected to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup is to be played in the USA and West Indies. The Indian team has been placed in Group A along with Pakistan, Canada, Ireland and USA. The team will face Ireland, Pakistan and the United States in New York in its group stage matches, while taking on Canada in Lauderhill. Before the tournament, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has focused on what role captain Rohit Sharma will play for the Men in Blue. He believes that both Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try to take maximum advantage of the powerplay. ‘Then you will need power hitters in the end’ Chopra said on his YouTube channel that it will be very important to take advantage of the first six overs in West Indies and New York. As the ball gets a little older and the field opens up, the ball will not hit the bat well and it will become difficult to score runs. He further said, then you will need power hitters in the end, because the pitches will be like this. If you look at it from that perspective, you need to take advantage of the first six overs, and that’s where Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will try their best to do that. Apart from this, Aakash Chopra has talked about the performance of the Indian captain in the ongoing T-20 series against Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma has not been able to open his account in both the T20 matches played so far, because he was out for zero in both the matches. He said, the way Rohit batted in the first two matches, it seemed that he was adopting a very aggressive mode, he was trying to hit every ball and would do so without getting set. read this also- “Talks are ongoing with them”, Pat Cummins responded regarding the future of Harris and Bancroft in the Test team.
