DTVHINDI“Trying to convince Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket”- Gavaskar tells India the way to win the WTC trophy
Hardik Pandya has not played any Test match for India since 2018. Ravindra Jadeja and Sunil Gavaskar (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India has played both the finals of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) so far and has been runner-up in both. The WTC started in 2019 and the first title match was played in 2021, where New Zealand defeated India to win the trophy. After this, the final match of the 2021-2023 World Test Championship was played between India and Australia in 2023. There too, India had to be content with being the runner-up. WTC 2023-25 is going on and looking at the current situation, once again Team India’s reaching the final match seems almost certain. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has told the way by which Team India can win the Test series in Australia later this year as well as the WTC title next year. Sunil Gavaskar gave a big statement about Hardik Pandya During an interview with Rev Sports, Sunil Gavaskar was asked, ‘The player who taught Indian cricket fans the meaning of Test cricket, do you think Team India will win in Australia and also win the WTC title?’ To this, Gavaskar said, ‘Yes, of course he can do that. I think efforts should be made to persuade Hardik Pandya to play Test cricket for the next two months. If he bowls 10 overs in a day and bats in his style, it will be impossible to defeat the Indian team and in such a situation, Team India can win in Australia and then win the WTC title as well. Hardik Pandya has played a total of 11 Test matches in his career so far and has scored 532 runs in 18 innings, while taking a total of 17 wickets in 19 innings. Hardik Pandya also has a century in his name in Test cricket. Hardik made his Test debut in 2017, but he has not played any Test match since August 2018.

“Pakistan cricket team is very talented, but the biggest reason for the defeat is….”- Jason Gillespie’s big statement
Jason Gillespie is the coach of Pakistan’s Test team. Jason Gillespie. (Source – Twitter/X) Pakistan Test team coach Jason Gillespie has talked about the biggest problem of the team ahead of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh in August. The former Australian bowler says that the biggest problem of the team is the lack of consistency, they are not able to perform well with consistency. Pakistan has struggled to win in all formats since the ODI World Cup in India last year. Since then in white ball cricket, the Babar-led team has suffered defeats against the United States of America (USA), Ireland, England, New Zealand, India and other teams. In Test cricket, late last year, they played a three-match Test series against Australia under the captaincy of Shan Masood. In which they lost 0-3. Jason Gillespie told the biggest weakness of Pakistan team Despite Pakistan’s poor performance on the Australia tour, Gillespie has focused on the positive aspects of their performance. “During the last tour of Australia, Pakistan lost the series 0-3, but they played well. There were times in the series when they were dominating the opposition team,” Gillespie was quoted as saying by Geo News. He further said, “Pakistan cricket team is very talented, but lack of consistency in performance is the main problem. We will see how we can bring consistency and stability in performance.” Gillespie further said, “My opinion is that Pakistan’s fielding is their weakness, so this will be my priority. For me, the goal is to see how we play against quality teams.” Pakistan’s Test series against Bangladesh will begin on August 21 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The second Test will be played on August 30 at the National Stadium, Karachi. Pakistan will want to strengthen its position in the WTC points table by winning both these Test matches.
“It is moving towards danger….” Andy Flower made a statement against ICC, said cricket will end
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes the International Cricket Council (ICC) is taking things for granted by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years. Andy Flowers (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) head coach Andy Flower believes that the International Cricket Council (ICC) is stepping towards danger by hosting the T20 World Cup every two years. He believes that if this continues, the T20 World Cup will become a normal tournament. Along with this, this mega tournament will not get the importance and respect like the ODI World Cup held once in four years. According to a survey conducted by the World Cricketers Association (WCA), the number of cricketers who consider the T20 World Cup as the “most important” ICC event has increased from 15 per cent in 2019 to 35 per cent in 2024. In the survey, 30 per cent of the cricketers, who were from Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Bangladesh and West Indies, also chose T20 as the most important format. When Flower was told about the survey, he said he was “astonished”— He told the Times of India, “I am surprised. I think the 50-over World Cup is important because it is played every four years. I think cricket is in danger if we have a T20 World Cup every two years… it will become commonplace. I don’t want anything called a ‘World Cup’ to become commonplace. I like the rarity of the World Cup.” However, Andy Flower definitely admitted that T20 cricket has a big role to play in making cricket famous all over the world. Teams like Afghanistan and USA reaching the semi-finals and Super 8 is a symbol of this. Along with this, many players are emerging from the franchise league tournament started across the country. Along with this, this cricket match is becoming very exciting and tough. It can be said that the level of competition has increased a lot.
‘It wasn’t easy for me at all’ Ishan Kishan on being constantly ignored from the Indian cricket team
Ishan Kishan is out of Team India since December 2023 Ishan Kishan (Image Credit- Twitter X) In December 2023, when the Indian cricket team was on a tour of South Africa, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan left the tour midway and returned home due to personal reasons. After this, he was not selected in the T20 series against Afghanistan in January, and Kishan, who at one time seemed to be easily making a place in the T20 World Cup 2024, was not selected for this tournament as well. So the fans were more surprised when Team India was selected for the five-match series for the Zimbabwe tour. In this series, the selection committee has shown faith in Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel instead of Kishan. Now, after being continuously ignored from Team India, Ishan Kishan has made a big statement. Kishan says that this time is not at all easy for him. Ishan Kishan broke his silence regarding the selection Let us tell you that in a conversation with Indian Express, Ishan Kishan said about not being able to make a place in the Indian cricket team – This is disappointing. Today I do not want to say that everything is fine. It was not easy for me at all. You endure a lot. All this kept going on in my mind that what happened, why did it happen, why did it happen to me. All these things happened to me when I was performing. Kishan further said- I was scoring runs at that time, and even then I was only on the bench. All these things happen in a team sport. But I felt tired from traveling with the team, and I was not feeling well. Therefore, I decided to take a break from the game. But sadly no one understood this except my family.
