Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Akash Chopra said on Colors Cineplex- whether Pant is India’s greatest Test batsman or not, if MS Dhoni’s name is in that list then it will be questionable. However, if you look at the performance done in SENA countries, then Pant is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in South Africa, England and Australia. Chopra further said- He (Rishabh Pant) has already scored six centuries in Test cricket. For this he has played only 58 innings, even though he is not India’s greatest Test batsman right now, he can definitely end his career as the greatest player. On the other hand, if we talk about Pant, he is currently in action in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. After performing brilliantly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant will now be eyeing a better performance in the second Test match starting in Kanpur from September 27.

This time England will face a litmus test because the ODI World Cup was not good for this team. The team had performed quite disappointingly, this time they have reached the T20 World Cup with the same team that they had almost two years ago. Therefore, they can defend their title. Chopra further said- Is there any weakness visible in the England team? Who else is there in the England team in spin bowling apart from Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali? Moeen has not bowled as much as he should have done so far. Because Liam Livingstone has bowled a lot. He can also get Will Jack to bowl, but does he lack variety in spin, can this prove to be England’s weakness?

Appears on podcast with Vaughn adam gilchrist cited the immense popularity of Rohit Sharma as a possible reason behind this misbehavior towards Pandya. Gilchrist replied that, it shows what is the situation of Rohit Sharma there. Everyone was surprised by Mumbai bringing Hardik Pandya from Gujarat and then Rohit Sharma leaving the captaincy. This is strange. But this is common in IPL. The feeling that there is among the fans about Rohit Sharma is difficult to replicate anywhere else. I know how Hardik feels- Gilchrist Gilchrist gave the example of an incident when he made his ODI debut and was booed by the fans when he replaced Ian Healy. He said, I was also criticized on the field. So I know how Hardik feels, I will just go to Hardik, and I will grab him. To this, Vaughn immediately responded with a joke, “Gillie, maybe you are the one who messages Hardik and says, ‘Look, buddy, I’m there, do you want to come on the podcast and we can discuss this?’ Are. The former Australian wicketkeeper looked ready to help the MI captain during this difficult time. He said, I am Boo Whisper. I know how to get into their mind and how to bring them out of it. Everyone is talking about the Mumbai Indians 🇮🇳 right now after their captain Hardik Pandya was booed at the Wankhede 🏟️ and Gilly offers some support as the self proclaimed ‘boo whisperer’ ???
