In this match, Pakistan had to face defeat by 10 wickets against Bangladesh. Talking about Shan Masood, he scored 6 runs in the first innings while in the second innings the captain of the Pakistan team was out after scoring 14 runs. Ever since Shan Masood got the captaincy of the Pakistan Test team, there has been a significant decline in his batting. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Shan Masood needs to improve his batting and he should also have an understanding of the game. He is an experienced captain. Shan Masood has also captained in the Pakistan Super League and county matches. I do not understand at all with what thinking he played four fast bowlers on the track of Rawalpindi. He will also have to improve his batting. If Masood keeps getting out early like this, then his team will also have to face problems.’ Here is the video: Rameez Raja further said, ‘After this defeat, the Pakistan team may have to suffer a lot. They cannot lose the series because there will be a lot of pressure on them now. Losing the series means that the tension in the dressing room will also increase and many questions will be raised. Pakistan is losing the series at home and that too against Bangladesh, which means that the host has not understood the situation well. Pakistan’s batsmen also did not perform well and the bowlers also bowled disappointingly. The second and final Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh is starting on August 30.

Luckily I was able to find some time to get away from the game, get away from cricket talk – Aiden Markram on T20 World Cup defeat
Aiden Markram (Image Credit- Twitter X) It has been almost two months since the final of the T20 World Cup 2024. South Africa had to face defeat in the final. The Indian team turned the match around in the last few overs and won by a close margin. In that match, South Africa remained in the match for 15 overs, but the Indian bowlers made a tremendous comeback in the next 5 overs. Captain Aiden Markram looked disappointed with this defeat? Recently, Markram has given a statement about that defeat and said that earlier it was difficult to digest the defeat, but now it is easy. In a press conference on Tuesday, Aiden Markram was asked a question related to the T20 World Cup. According to Cricbuzz, Markram said, “I should give it (defeat) as much time as it needs. It was very difficult to digest at that time. Certainly from then to now, it’s gotten a little better to handle. It’s easier to deal with and deal with it now.” The final of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played in Barbados on 29 June. South Africa had never played a World Cup final before and in their very first final, they came close to winning and missed out. I was able to take some time to get away from the game, get away from cricket talks- Aiden Markram South African veteran cricketer Aiden Markram further said, “The good thing is that I was able to take some time away from the game, away from cricket talks. It was good to be away from the game and reset myself. Everyone processes it in their own way. Probably the most important thing is to make sure that you are at peace during this time with how it all ended. So that you can move on and keep moving forward.” Let us tell you that the South African team will play a series of three T20 International matches against the host West Indies in Trinidad from Friday to Tuesday. This T20 team also has some players who played in the T20 World Cup final. These include captain Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks and Tristan Stubbs.
What did Vikram Rathore say about Rohit Sharma, he said- he never changes his game plan…
Vikram Rathore was the batting coach of Team India till T20 World Cup 2024 Vikram Rathour and Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter Former batting coach of the Indian cricket team Vikram Rathour has recently made a big statement praising Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Vikram has said that Rohit may forget once whether to choose bowling or batting during the toss, but he never forgets his game plan. It is worth noting that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team was successful in reaching the finals of the World Test Championship 2023 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, but could not win the final. However, after this India won the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit. With this victory, India ended the drought of not winning the ICC trophy for 11 years. Vikram Rathore gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma Let us tell you that recently Vikram Rathore said on the ‘Find a Way with Taruwar Kohli’ podcast – He (Rohit) may forget whether he has decided to bat or bowl at the time of the toss. He may forget his phone and iPad in the team bus, but he never forgets his game plan. He is very clever in this and is a very smart strategist. Vikram further said- He is a player’s captain. He is invested with the players. I have never seen a captain who is so invested in team meetings and strategies. He spends a lot of time on team strategy. He is a part of the bowlers’ meeting and the batsmen’s meeting. He (Rohit) sits with the batsmen and bowlers and tries to understand what they are thinking. He spends a lot of time with the team players. On the other hand, if we talk about Rohit, after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he had decided to say goodbye to T20 cricket. However, now he can be seen playing in the Test series against Bangladesh next month?
“Nothing to worry about, we will take it as a game plan…” – Rohit Sharma’s big statement on the team’s weakness against spin

He has also made a big statement about the team’s weakness against spin. We will look at it as a game plan- Rohit Sharma India’s weakness against spin has become apparent in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the second ODI, Sri Lankan spinner Jeffrey Vandersey took 6 wickets, due to which Team India was all out for 208 runs and the team had to lose the match by 32 runs. Meanwhile, in the third ODI, spinner Dunith Velalage took 5 wickets and the Indian innings faltered again. Regarding the team’s weakness against spin, Rohit Sharma says that it is not a matter of concern. Speaking at the post-match presentation after the match, Rohit Sharma said, I don’t think it’s a concern (spin problem) but it’s something we have to look at individually and as a gameplan. There can never be complacency when you’re playing for India. There’s no chance of that when I’m the captain. Losing a series is not the end of the world- Rohit Sharma Indian captain Rohit Sharma also praised the performance of the Sri Lankan team in the series. He also said that there is nothing wrong in losing the series, what matters is what your preparation is after the defeat and how you make a comeback. Rohit Sharma further said, You have to give credit to good cricket. Sri Lanka played better than us, we looked at the conditions and went ahead with the combination, there are also people who needed to be looked at and hence the changes. We need to focus on a number of areas rather than the positives of this series because next time we face such conditions we need to be better prepared. These things happen, losing a series is not the end of the world, you will lose the odd series here and there but it is about how you bounce back after a loss.

‘He thinks he has become bigger than the game’, former cricketer slammed Wanindu Hasaranga for his poor performance in the second T20I
Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali criticized Hasarga’s performance Wanindu Hasaranga (Image Credit- Twitter The second T20 match between Sri Lanka and India was played in Pallekele on 28 July, where the visiting team won by 7 wickets in a rain-affected match. Wanindu Hasaranga proved to be very expensive in the match and he gave 34 runs in a spell of two overs, while taking only one wicket. At the same time, former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali has criticized Hasaranga’s performance. He said that the 27-year-old feels that he has become bigger than the game. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, Number one all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga. I think he has become bigger than cricket. Cricket is small, he is big. He got out playing a bad shot on the first ball. He was not good with the ball either. Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a lot of runs. Basit Ali took a dig at Hasranga He took a dig at Hasaranga (Wanindu Hasaranga) and said that Sri Lanka should give him the Player of the Match award and give him rest from the remaining matches. Basit Ali said, according to me the Man of the Match should be given to Hasranga. Give him the Player of the Match award and ask him to rest for the third match. He hits silly shots and his bowling is also the same. It seems like he has become Boom Boom Bumrah, he should learn from Bishnoi. Apart from this, the former Pakistani cricketer said about the batting of the Sri Lankan team that, the middle order batsmen of Sri Lanka could not perform. I think India’s dominance is such that Sri Lanka is afraid of the name of India. In both the matches, good partnerships were made and then suddenly broke. I don’t know whether their middle order knows how to bat or not.

“Nobody is bigger than the game and the team”- Sanjay Manjrekar’s post about Gautam Gambhir went viral like fire
After Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir has become the head coach of Team India. Sanjay Manjrekar and Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) Gautam Gambhir will start his tenure with Team India as head coach from today (July 27). With the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Rahul Dravid’s tenure as head coach also ended. After this, Gautam Gambhir was appointed the next head coach of Team India and under him, Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka. On this tour of Sri Lanka, Team India will play three-match ODI and Test series. Before the start of this series, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a surprising tweet about Gautam Gambhir. In fact, ever since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, there has been such statements in the media that Team India has not got a bigger coach than Gambhir till date. However, Manjrekar does not seem to agree with this. He says that no coach or player can be bigger than the team. This tweet of Sanjay Manjrekar rapidly went viral on social media Sanjay Manjrekar posted a tweet, “No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten and Rahul Dravid. Coaches were there when India won the World Cup in 1983, 2007, 2011 and 2024. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. It’s time we stop thinking there is a direct connection between the two.” No coach, Lalchand Rajput, Gary Kirsten & Dravid. Coaches when India won WCs in 1983, 2007, 2011 & 2023. It’s really about Indian cricket, not who the coach is. Time we stop thinking there is a direct correlation. — Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) July 27, 2024 When the Indian team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983 by defeating the two-time defending champion West Indies, the team did not have a head coach at that time. Whereas, when Team India became the champion of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Lalchand Rajput was the director of the team, because Greg Chappell was removed 6 months ago after the poor performance in the ODI World Cup. However, during the 2011 ODI World Cup, the head coach of the winning team was Gary Kirsten. This was the first time that Team India won the World Cup and a head coach was present with the team. After this, now it has happened in 2024 that the head coach was with the team and the team became the world champion. This is the reason why Gautam Gambhir has a big responsibility on his shoulders, because in the coming time India has to win many ICC tournaments.
