We will definitely continue our brand of cricket- Aiden Markram Speaking after the match, Aiden Markram said, I think we bowled really well, made some really good plans and our bowlers did really well. From a batting perspective, you want to chase the target at the mid-way stage, but it didn’t work out today. Sometimes when you lose wickets continuously, it doesn’t feel good. We have to accept it, we will definitely continue our brand of cricket. They (Stubbs and Coetzee) are coming in after the break, it’s good to see their enthusiasm. Obviously, the role that (Andile) Simelane and (Nkabayomzi) Peter played with the ball was really big. For the younger players, he inspired the older players. We need to focus on one game at a time. We have leveled the series by winning this game and we are happy. The third match of the four-match T20 series between India and South Africa will be played on November 13 at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
“’Kohli’s focus is not on numbers, but on winning matches for India’ – former RCB coach warns Kangaroos
Team India will tour Australia in November. Mike Hesson & Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Mike Hesson believes that Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where his first goal is to help India win matches rather than making personal records. The former Indian captain is going through a bad phase in Test cricket, he has not been able to register a single 50+ score in Tests this year. Since 2019, he has managed to score only two centuries in the longest format of the game. While his teammates like Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson are making rapid progress in red-ball cricket, Kohli is struggling to live up to his standards. Mike Hesson gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Hesson said, ‘I think Virat Kohli is at that stage of his career where he wants to win matches for India. I think it’s a dangerous transition for other teams because if they’re doing that instead of focusing on numbers, big scores will come naturally. The ability to maintain a momentum is important in Australia. For this, the batsman has to be able to counterattack and wait for the right moment to do so. 30 to 60 overs is an important phase there. If Kohli is batting at that time then he will not let the game go astray. It’s about finding the gap, playing shots in the gap. If they try the same this time too and are capable, then they can prove to be dangerous against Australia. Hesson said that despite not having any big scores against Bangladesh, Kohli looked in great form and added that he would do well against teams like New Zealand and Australia. Hesson said, ‘He was in good form and even though he did not score big against Bangladesh, he seemed to be getting into good shape. Going to Australia after playing against New Zealand would suit him as he performs well in these conditions.

Former captains Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson and Adam Milne are among the players who refused the central contract. At the same time, Devon Conway has opted for a casual contract.

India should focus on preparing a new captain after Rohit Sharma in 2024- Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan (Photo Source: Twitter) Team India’s former star all-rounder Irfan Pathan said that India should focus on preparing a new captain after Rohit Sharma in 2024. Rohit, who led the team in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup final, is currently captaining the team in the ongoing Test series against South Africa. Let us tell you that for some time now there was speculation that he would not continue to lead the team. He can also captain Team India in the upcoming T-20 World Cup 2024. Pathan believes that there could be a lot of changes in 2024 and India should prepare two or more players who can replace Rohit. The 39-year-old player further talked about Virat Kohli’s captaincy skills and his contribution to the team. Team India now needs two-three captains- Irfan Pathan Speaking on Star Sports, Irfan Pathan said, “A lot of changes are likely to happen in 2024. So if we prepare two or three captains, we will not have much problem. The focus should also be on which captain you will groom. The Indian team performed surprisingly well in the five matches. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, he reached the number 1 ranking in Test cricket. His fitness was excellent. He performed well in every match and made the team perform brilliantly in every match. Rohit Sharma also made the team perform amazingly. Saw in the World Cup and he won the Asia Cup but who after Rohit Sharma?” Irfan further said that this year India will also have to focus on building a good fast bowling unit. Cricketer-turned-commentator Pathan said India do not have a potential backup in the ongoing Test series, and pointed out how Mohammed Shami’s absence in the opening match affected Team India. He said that, if Jasprit Bumrah gets injured then India will be in trouble.
