(Photo Source: Sony Liv) India’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored 24, 14 and 20 runs respectively in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and interestingly, he got out against spinners in all the matches. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, Kohli, who is known to be a very good player of spin, misread the line and length against them. Virat Kohli was out LBW in all the matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka and every time a review was taken on the ball of his dismissal. ODI series In the first match, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him, while Jeffrey Vandersay and Dunith Welalage took his wickets in the second and third matches respectively. Kohli’s struggle against spin is not new. In the last few years, he has struggled a lot against wrist spinners and this trend continued in the Sri Lanka series as well. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli was LBW three times in three innings against spinners. I don’t remember when this happened last time, he was playing the wrong line and also used the review every time. He was not able to put pressure on the bowlers with his batting in the series.” The cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about Shreyas Iyer, who has also struggled in the series. Iyer made his debut after being dropped from BCCI’s central contract but failed to make a mark in the three-match series. He had a great chance to perform well and cement his place in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but Iyer scored only 38 runs in the series. Speaking about this, Chopra said that he is not sure why good spin players are struggling. He said, “Shreyas Iyer is considered a good player of spin, but he too was unable to counter the spinners twice and got out due to speed once. If the performance of our good spin players is like this, then I don’t know why this is happening.”

“I don’t believe in injury and workload management”- Gautam Gambhir created a sensation with this statement as soon as he became the head coach
Team India is scheduled to travel to Sri Lanka next month for the ODI and T20I series. Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: X) For the first time after becoming the head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir has given his statement on the injury and workload management of the players. But the statement given by Gambhir on this may irritate those players who often get injured. In the present times, looking at the way cricket is being played every day, injury management and workload management of the players are often mentioned. However, it is believed that after Gambhir becomes the head coach, some big changes will be seen in Indian cricket, the biggest change of which will be that the players will not get the break they want. Team India has to tour Sri Lanka next month to participate in the ODI and T20 International series and this will be the first assignment of head coach Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir gave a big statement regarding injury and workload management Just before the start of the Sri Lanka series, Gambhir has clearly said that if a player gets injured, he can recover and make a comeback, but he will not be given breaks repeatedly in the name of injury and workload management. Team India’s new head coach Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports, ‘Look, I have a strong belief in one thing that if you can play, then you should play in all three formats. I have never believed in injury management, if you get injured, go and recover, it’s as simple as that. When you play international cricket, you should do as much as you can. If you ask any top player, they want to play all three formats. They don’t want the tag of a red ball bowler or a white ball bowler. Injuries are a part of any player’s career, if you play all three formats and get injured, you can go back and recover and come back into the team. You should play all three formats, I don’t believe much in keeping some players just for Tests, that we will manage his injury, we will manage his workload. Look, as a professional cricketer your career is very short, you are playing for your country, so you should play as much as you can. If you are in very good form, then play all three formats.

Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed – Basit Ali Times of India quoted Basit as saying, “The preparations that are being made, the reports that are being made are against Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rizwan.

Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed!” He further said, “I am saying these things now, God forbid if this thing happens then it is your mistake. If you think that Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch. If you want to remove them, then remove all three. It is not that you make two of them scapegoats and the third one a hero.” He said, “It is wrong. What kind of captaincy Babar has shown. Not just in this tournament, he has been captaining since the World Cup. He made Nawaz bowl the last over in Melbourne. Weren’t your eyes open then?”

He says that every captain has his own characteristics and he does not want to name any single captain. Gautam Gambhir remained silent on the question of best captain “This is a very controversial question. To be honest, I don’t want to give any headline on this, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. I made my Test debut under Rahul Dravid and ODI debut under (Sourav) Ganguly,” Gambhir said during an event in Kolkata. He said, “I played my best under Anil Kumble and also had my period under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. I played under MS for the longest time. I really enjoyed playing with MS and the way he led the team.” Gambhir, meanwhile, urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to reconsider the two new ball rule in limited-overs formats, saying on Friday that it is ‘unfair’ for finger spinners. The ICC had introduced this special rule in ODIs in October 2011.
If you don’t want both your spinners to bat then you should play against USA…: Navjot Singh Sidhu gave a big advice before the important match

According to him, the team does not need to make any changes in its winning combination, but if they do not need batting from Akshar Patel or Jadeja, then they can include Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI. Navjot Singh Sidhu told Star Sports, ‘There is no need to experiment because at this time you are winning the match and it is important to maintain the rhythm. There is no need to change it at all. Many times it happens that you catch the flying arrow yourself. Because of the combination, you do not need it at all.’ Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the team in place of Akshar Patel: Navjot Singh Sidhu The former player further said, ‘Team combinations are quite different and you need to get things right in every way. Yes, you can do one thing, if you do not want both your spinners to bat against America, then Kuldeep Yadav can be included in the team. He can prove to be lethal against USA. According to me, Kuldeep Yadav can be taken in place of Akshar Patel. However, Akshar Patel had performed very well in the last match. The upcoming match is very important for the Indian team and they would definitely want to win it. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
