DTVHINDI‘A dwarf is still a dwarf even if…’ – Former veteran cricketer created a sensation with his controversial statement regarding Rohit and Hardik.
Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has started, Hardik Pandya has also captained Mumbai Indians in a match, but still the fans are not ready to accept that he is the captain of MI this season. In fact, ever since Hardik Pandya took over the captaincy of Mumbai Indians, there has been an earthquake among the fans. He is unhappy with the fact that Hardik is captaining Mumbai. Pandya, who played for MI from 2015 to 2021, was transferred to GT in an all-cash deal and was given the captaincy role. Under his captaincy, Gujarat became IPL champions in 2022. Ahead of IPL 2024, Hardik was traded back to MI via all-cash and was appointed captain, replacing Rohit Sharma. Let us tell you that Rohit had given five IPL titles to MI. Navjot Singh Sidhu gave a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has given his opinion regarding Hardik and Rohit. Sidhu expressed his opinion while speaking on Star Sports and said, “I have played in an Indian team where five captains played together, Kapil Dev, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Ravi Shastri… pick up a brick. And you’ll find a captain both above and below that. There was no problem because he was playing for his country… the motivation was to play for his country. Therefore, playing under Hardik’s captaincy does not make Rohit any younger.” The former Indian opener further said, “I guarantee that this does not make Rohit Sharma small, he is a big player. This is a franchise that has brought in a new guy who is better and everyone has accepted him, but Rohit is a great player.” Sidhu said in his poetic style that ‘A dwarf is still a dwarf even if he stands on the top of a mountain, a god is still a god even if he stands in the depth of a well.’ Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ new batting coach Kieron Pollard defended Pandya’s decision to open the bowling and bat at number seven in his opening match. “You have to plan and decide what you want to do as a team,” he said. Hardik has also bowled with the new ball for Gujarat in the last few years.

Thanks to his bowling, Punjab came back into the match and were favorites to win the match in the last two overs. However, due to the brilliant batting of Dinesh Karthik, RCB got the victory in the end. Harpreet Brar said after the match, “I tried to score as many runs as possible and in the process I also took two wickets.

IND vs ENG: Will Devdutt Padikkal get a chance in Dharamsala Test? Former cricketer gave a big statement
Team India’s batsman Rajat Patidar’s performance has been very poor in the ongoing Test series against England. He has played three matches in this series so far and has not been able to do anything special in even a single match. In such a situation, many people believe that Devdutt will be in the playing XI in place of Rajat Patidar for the last test match. Padikkal Should get a chance. Meanwhile, former Team India cricketer Akash Chopra has given his opinion on this matter. Hosting JioCinema’s sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’, JioCinema and Sports18 expert, Aakash Chopra talks about the fifth India-England Test match starting in Dharamshala on Thursday. He told whether Devdutt Padikkal will get a chance to debut? On the importance of the 5th India-England Test: Due to the format of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, every match is important. Although India has won the series, still 20% points can be collected from this five-Test series. If India finish with three wins, they will secure 60% of the total points, while if they can win the match in Dharamsala, they will get 80% of the points. Therefore this match is important from India’s point of view. what devdutt Padikkal Will he get a chance in the fifth test match? From the thoughts we have received, it seems that Rajat Patidar will get to play one more match. I wouldn’t be surprised if he plays. This is because India has won the series and there is still one more match left. What is in Padikkal’s favor is that since he is in the team, he will get a chance at some point. But the question is, will he play only one Test? There is a lot of time for the next Test match to be held in September-October. On India’s probable playing eleven: There is always a discussion in Dharamshala whether India should play three fast bowlers. But I would still like to go with two fast bowlers and three spinners. We may get to see Jasprit Bumrah playing in place of Akash Deep. Then three spinners who played in the last match. Akshar (Patel) may not get a chance. I think the Indian team will look like this.
IND vs ENG: “Rajat Patidar should get another chance” – statement of former veteran cricketer
Chopra believes that it would not be right to select Padikkal as it would be challenging for the team management to select him in the future matches on the basis of one match. He suggested giving Patidar another chance in the team to assess his potential. However, many people believe that Padikkal may get a chance in the last match. Aakash Chopra said in a video released on his YouTube channel, “Reports suggest that Rajat Patidar will play and I can probably understand. The team is saying that they have played him three matches, so he can play one more match and this could be his last chance.” The former opener further added, “If they don’t play him and play Devdutt, and if he has a bad match, they won’t even be able to judge him, and they may also feel that they have given Rajat the silver.” Not given full chance. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rajat Patidar plays. “However, I still wouldn’t be surprised if he is removed.” Emphasizing the importance of each match, Chopra has said that due to the World Test Championship (WTC) now no match is unimportant in Test cricket. He expressed his view that both the teams will be motivated to increase their points in the WTC points table.

The former India opener revealed that Rachin Ravindra is in the best form of his life and backed him to deliver a stellar performance in his first stint in the cash-rich league. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “I still think this team will be okay because they do something and find someone.

He is in top class form.” The former batsman further said, “However, his T20 numbers are not good. T20 statistics are not good and playing for CSK is a good thing. So now you can get to see the T-20 avatar of Rachin Ravindra. Being a left-handed opening batsman and left-arm spin, he has everything to become the Most Valuable Player.”
