(Image Source: Getty Images) Team India’s former veteran captain and player Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma. Ganguly revealed that when Virat Kohli decided to step down from the captaincy role after the series against South Africa in January 2022, Rohit Sharma was not ready to become the Test captain considering his workload. However, Ganguly convinced Rohit for this and he led Team India in all three formats. Now after retiring from T20, he is the captain of the ODI and Test teams, while Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the shortest format of cricket. The former Indian captain said that he had to convince Rohit to take over the captaincy in the longer format and he is not surprised by what Rohit has achieved so far. Sourav Ganguly made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by RevSportz, “He did not become the captain because he was captaining in other formats. Therefore he had a lot of workload. I don’t believe in workload. India’s Test captain will remain the Test captain. I told him not to end his career without becoming a Test captain, I am not surprised by what he has achieved.” Team India is currently on Australia tour where they have to play 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series against the hosts. There is doubt over the availability of captain Rohit Sharma in the first match of this series. Actually, Rohit has recently become a father for the second time. For this reason he did not leave for Australia with the Indian squad. Regarding this, Ganguly says that if he had been in Rohit’s place, he would have gone to Australia for the Perth Test. He also believes that the upcoming series will be 37-year-old Rohit’s last tour in Australia. Ganguly said, “I hope that Rohit Sharma will leave soon, because the team needs leadership. I believe his wife gave birth to a son last night, so I’m sure he will be gone from the team. He should go as soon as possible and if I were in his place, he would be playing the Perth Test.”

Deepak Chahar (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Chennai Super Kings spent Rs 14 crore to buy Deepak Chahar in the IPL 2022 mega auction, but he was ruled out of the entire season due to injury. Even in the last two seasons of the cash-rich league, Chahar’s fitness has become a major problem for the team and he could play only 10 and 8 matches respectively in the two seasons. After ordinary performances for the Yellow team over the past few years, Chahar was not retained by the five-time IPL champions and will now try his luck in the IPL 2025 mega auction. This mega auction is scheduled to take place in Jeddah on 24 and 25 November. Let us tell you that Deepak is completely fit at this time and he is continuously bowling well for Rajasthan in the domestic season. Deepak Chahar gave a big statement regarding IPL 2025 mega auction Meanwhile, Deepak Chahar has given a big statement regarding the IPL 2025 mega auction and he has expressed hope that CSK will again bid for him in the upcoming auction. Speaking to Times of India, Deepak Chahar said, “Even in the last mega auction they did not retain me but then tried their best for me and bought me back. I don’t know what will happen this year, but I know that my skills will be given more importance now because around 90-100 runs are being scored in the powerplay and that is why teams are scoring more than 200 times. I proved how valuable I can be in limiting runs at that stage of the game.” This time Chennai Super Kings franchise has retained Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Mathisha Pathirana, Shivam Dubey and MS Dhoni. All other players were released by the team. In such a situation, now there is a possibility that the franchise can buy some of them again in the mega auction, in which Deepak Chahar can also be a player.
“We will try to buy Pant but I don’t think….”- CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan
MS Dhoni Kashi Vishwanathan (Photo Source: Twitter) The mega auction of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is going to take place in a few days. This mega event is scheduled to take place on 24th and 25th November in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Just ahead of this auction, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO, Kasi Vishwanathan has finally broken his silence on the team signing star Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. After the end of the T20 World Cup, some reports had come out in which it was said that Chennai has shown interest in the wicketkeeper-batsman for the next season. Then this speculation finally reached its peak when Delhi Capitals released their retention list. Now in such a situation, the excitement among the fans regarding the auction of Rishabh Pant has reached its peak. We will try to buy Pant but….- Statement of CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan Now the question is, will CSK join the race to acquire Pant in the mega auction? While speaking to former CSK batsman Ambati Rayudu on Provoke TV, Kashi did not rule out the possibility but also admitted that he is keen to be the first to pick his players in the mega auction. Kasi Vishwanathan said, “We had discussions with captain Ruturaj, MS (Dhoni) and coach Stephen Fleming before taking the decision on retention. We were very clear that the players who helped the team grow and stabilize over the years were very important for the CSK team to continue going forward.” He further said, “It was very easy to retain Gaikwad, Jaddu, MS, Shivam Dubey and Mathisha Pathirana. But we knew that if we retained these players, we would have less money going into the auction. We knew that we would not be able to compete with other teams when it came to the best of Indian players. I mean, we’ll still try, but I don’t think we’ll be able to buy them at the auction.”

Tom Moody told Star Sports, ‘For Punjab Kings, I feel that no player should be retained. Especially capped players. I would say that they should use Right to Match card for Arshdeep Singh, Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada. Jitesh Sharma is another player in the auction who should be included in the team using the Right to Match card. When it comes to uncapped players, there are some who performed very well last season. Shashank Singh came in the middle order and batted aggressively and Harpreet Brar’s performance was also explosive. Punjab Kings team would like to win the Indian Premier League 2025 season. The performance of Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League 2024 was disappointing. Punjab Kings could not make it to the playoffs last season and were ranked 9th in the points table.

Along with captaincy, he won the hearts of all the fans by giving a strong performance in bowling as well. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Pat Cummins said that he does not know whether he will come to IPL or not because there are other things. Cricket has to be played continuously and everyone’s thinking may be different because there is Ashes and World Cup also. Champions Trophy is also to be played and IPL also definitely fits somewhere in between all this. He also said that the new rule has come into effect. However, he also said that if his name is included in the auction, he will not back down. Mitchell Starc and other players have left and I feel that Sunrisers Hyderabad will not retain them. He will not give them Rs 18 crore. I feel so even though he has captained and bowled brilliantly. Pat Cummins will be released: Aakash Chopra Former player Aakash Chopra further said, ‘Pat Cummins will be released and he will not keep his name in the auction also. It is also possible that Pat Cummins may make a comeback after 6 months because it was under his captaincy that the franchise secured its place in the finals. You don’t want to be retained. You would like to go yourself.’ Let us tell you that Pat Cummins took 18 wickets in the Indian Premier League 2024.

“Don’t make Travis Head open in BGT…”- Ian Chappell warns Australia team
Travis Head (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell has warned the Australian team against using Travis Head as an opening batsman in the upcoming five-match Test series against India. The Kangaroos are set to face India in a five-match Test series later this year. The 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is scheduled to begin on November 22 in Perth. The Australian team is looking for an opening partner for Usman Khawaja after David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier this year. In the last two Test series against West Indies and New Zealand, Steve Smith opened for the Pat Cummins-led side but did not perform as expected. There is a high possibility that he will be seen batting at number four in this series against India. Now in such a situation, it will be interesting to see who will open for the Australian team in the Test series against India in his absence. Ian Chappell has given his opinion on this issue. Ian Chappell expressed his opinion regarding Travis Head In his column for ESPN Cricinfo by ian chappell That said, “Travis Head’s opening in Test cricket is based on his unmatched success facing the new ball in both 50-over and T20 cricket. There is no doubt that Head, with his highly attacking style, is the ideal player to open in the two shorter formats of the game. However, Test cricket will be a completely different thing.” Ian Chappell further said, “To trouble Jasprit Bumrah, everyone is demanding that Head should open. However, Bumrah and to some extent Mohammed Siraj are unlikely to change their aggressive mindset.” Chappell wants some runs on the board before Travis Head comes to the crease. He said, “Clever R Ashwin will not be fazed by the ultra-aggressive attitude of the opponent. It could be argued that opening with Head means he is more stable facing Ashwin when there are some runs on the board. On the other hand, an astute opposition captain can use off-spinners with the new ball. There is also a compelling argument for using Head as an opening batsman in a Test match.”

“We were shouting at Doug, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, but…” – Mohit Sharma said on Dhoni’s dispute with the umpire
IPL 2019: MS Dhoni is the most successful bowler in IPL history. The great MS Dhoni, known for his calm and composed nature on the cricket field, is considered one of the greatest captains in the history of the game. He also got the nickname of ‘Captain Cool’ by his fans. However, Dhoni has been seen getting angry on the cricket field many times by the fans. One of the biggest incidents among these was during IPL 2019 when Dhoni entered the field in the middle of the match due to a no ball controversy and started fighting with the umpires. Now former CSK fast bowler Mohit Sharma has spoken on this incident and told what was the atmosphere in the dressing room at that time. Let us tell you, during the 2019 IPL, there was a controversy when the umpire took back the decision after giving a no ball during a match against Rajasthan Royals. In the last over, CSK needed some 8 runs to win. One of Ben Stokes’ balls was above the waist, one umpire gave it a no ball while the other umpire standing at square leg overturned the decision. Mahi got furious and entered the field to fight with the umpire. We were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go – Mohit Sharma said about MS Dhoni Recalling this incident, Mohit Sharma said on the 2 Sloggers podcast, “We were in the dugout, we were shouting, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go. But he didn’t even look back. He went like this, when it seemed like a lion had entered. He was already angry because he got out at the wrong time. He had just come to the dugout after getting out and the next ball was a no ball and the umpire did not give it.” He further said, “When he returned, he asked me to bring the laptop. Then the video analyst showed him the video and he said, ‘It was a no-ball.’ However, he also regretted going to the field. But the match was so exciting that all this happened in the blink of an eye.”

Mohammed Rizwan (Photo Source- Getty Images) Former player Basit Ali wants to see Pakistan’s best wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan as the next captain of the national team. Basit Ali said after the recent match played between Markhors and Stallions in the Champions ODI Cup that Mohammad Rizwan understands the pitch very well and Babar Azam also faces a lot of problems in this art. In the Champions One Day Cup match played on 15 September, Markhors batted first and scored 231 runs under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan at Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. In reply, the Stallions team was all out for 105 runs. Mohammad Rizwan and company won this match by 126 runs. Basit Ali shared the video on his official YouTube channel and said, ‘Looking at the way Mohammad Rizwan captained the team, it can be said that there is no better captain than him. He took very good decisions in this match and also read the pitch brilliantly. This is one place where Babar Azam also has trouble. I am not even talking about Shan Masood. If you do not make Mohammad Rizwan the captain at this time, it will be a big defeat for Pakistan. This is the best time to make Mohammad Rizwan the captain. Here is the video: For quite some time now, there have been reports that Mohammad Rizwan could be appointed as the captain of Pakistan’s white ball team after Babar Azam. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the Pakistan team performed very poorly in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the team was eliminated from the group stage. Talking about Mohammad Rizwan, he has also captained the Multan Sultan team in the Pakistan Super League and his record as a captain has also been excellent. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Pakistan Cricket Board takes regarding Mohammad Rizwan?

“Don’t say there is a fight…”, Piyush Chawla made a big revelation about the cold war between Kohli vs Gambhir
Do you know what is the best thing about Gauti bhai? He will motivate you, give you a free hand- Piyush Chawla Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir are two of the greatest players of Indian cricket. In December 2009, Virat Kohli scored a century in the ODI match against Sri Lanka, in the same match Gautam Gambhir played an innings of 150 runs and was selected as the Player of the Match. But in the post-match presentation, Gambhir handed over his award to young Virat. Both the players were also part of the 2011 World Cup winning team. However, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli have made more headlines due to their clashes on the field. After becoming the head coach of Team India, Gambhir, while talking about his relationship with Kohli, said that both are passionate people on the field and it is completely normal to fight for their respective teams. Meanwhile, former Indian player Piyush Chawla, who has been a teammate of both the players, has recently shared an interesting anecdote. Gauti brothers are all classy- Piyush Chawla Piyush Chawla revealed that there was never any rift between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. The former spinner recalled the conversation that took place during the ODI World Cup 2023. When he and Gambhir were part of a show and a question was asked about Kohli, which he could not answer, but Gambhir did. Piyush Chawla, while talking on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, said, Gauti bhai and I were doing a show. A question was asked, ‘When Virat completed his 50th century, off which bowler did he take a single? I couldn’t answer this, but Gambhir replied, he was like, ‘Now don’t say that there is a fight.’ Gauti bhai is all class, he is one of the best. Gauti bhai is one of the nicest human beings- Piyush Chawla Piyush Chawla further said that if Gautam Gambhir sees talent in someone then he motivates them and gives full support. Do you know what is the best thing about Gauti bhai? He will motivate you, give you a free hand and support you the way he wants. If he sees that talent in you, even if you don’t do anything in all 14 matches, if you can do that, he will support you which is a great thing for any player. Chawla also talked about Gautam Gambhir’s contrasting nature on and off the field and called him one of the nicest human beings. I have played under him for 4-5 years. We played together for India and India-A. The way he looks aggressive on the field, he is equally humble off the field. The fun I have interacting with him is amazing. Gauti bhai is one of the nicest human beings I have met.
