Kamindu Mendis (Pic Source-X) Young Sri Lankan player Kamindu Mendis batted brilliantly in the second Test match being played against New Zealand and played an important inning of 182* runs for his team. Kamindu Mendis did not spare any New Zealand bowler during his innings and hit brilliant cricketing shots against everyone. Let us tell you that Kamindu Mendis has scored five Test centuries in 13 innings. He has made many amazing records in his name in international Test cricket in a very short time. There are many former players who have praised Kamindu Mendis a lot. Former Pakistani player Basit Ali has also been included in this list. According to Basit Ali, Kamindu Mendis can join Fab 4 in future. The name ‘Fab 4’ was given by former New Zealand player, the late Martin Crowe. In this list, Team India’s Virat Kohli, Australia’s Steve Smith, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson and England’s Joe Root are there. Basit Ali has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘What a player Kamindu Mendis is. I had seen him in the England series also and in the recent series also he has performed brilliantly. He may be included in the Fab 4 in the coming days. Kamindu Mendis is just 25 years old and has batted very well in his early days. His style of playing is very similar to that of Sangakkara. Kamindu Mendis has a lot of ability. Due to the lethal batting of Kamindu Mendis, Sri Lanka declared its first innings at 602 runs for five wickets. Sri Lanka has batted very well in this match. Apart from Kamindu Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal also batted well and scored 116 runs while Kusal Mendis contributed 106* runs. Captain Dhananjay de Silva scored 44 runs while Dimuth Karunaratne played a valuable inning of 46 runs. From the host side, the batsmen have played their role brilliantly and now it is very important for the bowlers to also perform well. By the end of the second day’s play, New Zealand had scored only 22 runs after losing two wickets in its first innings. New Zealand’s performance in this Test series has been quite disappointing. Sri Lanka is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series. If New Zealand has to win this second test, then it is very important for them to bat well in this match. The third day of the game will be important for both the teams.

According to Basit Ali, a proper system is in place in India whereas in Pakistan the captain himself does not give the player a chance to progress. Basit Ali and Babar Azam. (Image Source: X) The performance of the Pakistan team has been very poor for some time now. The team has failed to show a good performance in international cricket. Let us tell you that recently Pakistan played a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. Bangladesh won this Test series 2-0. Former player Basit Ali has made a big statement about the performance of the Pakistan team. He has put forward his point of view by comparing Pakistan cricket with Team India. According to Basit Ali, a proper system is in place in India, whereas in Pakistan the captain himself does not give the player a chance to progress. Former player Basit Ali said, ‘Captains like Mohammad Azharuddin, Sourav Ganguly and then MS Dhoni came to India. They took the players forward. A proper system is in place in India. If we talk about Pakistan, here the captain himself does not let the player move forward. The captain is afraid that he might lose his place. There is a lot of difference between the cricket of India and Pakistan and this is the bitter truth.’ It is very important for the Pakistan team to perform well in the Champions Trophy 2025 Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy 2025 is to be played in Pakistan itself. The team’s performance has been very poor in all three formats. Many questions have been raised on Babar Azam’s captaincy while in Test cricket, Shan Masood has also failed to play the role of captain in the best way so far. Before the Champions Trophy 2025, Pakistan has to play a Test series against England. After this, the team will also be seen playing an ODI series against Australia. Pakistan will tour Zimbabwe in the month of November. The team’s schedule is quite long even before the Champions Trophy 2025.

He is very knowledgeable and experienced and it reflects in his bowling. His ability to understand the batsman before bowling is amazing. He is a talented bowler and it is not easy to follow in his footsteps.

When Gautam Gambhir gave his ‘Man of the Match’ award to Virat Kohli; watch old video
Gambhir is currently the head coach of Team India and Kohli is the batting base of Team India, both are working together. Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty Images) The relationship between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli has been a topic of discussion for the last several years. Sometimes both of them fight with each other and sometimes they show brotherhood. Gambhir and Kohli have played together for India and both are from Delhi. But you will be surprised to know that Kohli considered senior players like Gambhir as his role model during his early career. In Kohli’s early days in international cricket, Gambhir played an important role in guiding him, especially when they used to bat together. The fights between the two are quite famous in IPL Now Gambhir is the head coach of Team India and Kohli is the batting base of Team India, both are working together. But there was a time when there were many instances of discord between the two during the IPL. The most notable incident is from the year 2013 IPL, when there was a match between Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). After Kohli was out, Gautam and him had a heated argument. Both the captains clashed aggressively with each other on the field and the umpires and players had to intervene to calm the situation. Then in the year 2023, both Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees due to a brawl after the RCB vs LSG match. Everyone will remember this fight. When Gautam Gambhir gave his award to Kohli But there was a time when the mutual respect and sportsmanship between the two was evident on the field. The best example of that mutual respect and sportsmanship is their 224-run partnership against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 24 December 2009. Chasing a target of 316, both Gambhir and Kohli scored centuries as India won the match with 7 wickets in hand. Gambhir remained unbeaten on 150 and Kohli was dismissed on 107 after scoring his first ODI century. But, despite being named Man of the Match, Gambhir decided to share the award with Kohli. Gambhir took this decision acknowledging the importance of Kohli’s first century. He also praised Kohli’s calm and maturity during the run chase and handed over his award to Kohli, displaying great sportsmanship and team spirit.

The relationship between Gambhir and Kohli has evolved from mutual respect in the early years to aggression on the field and differences in approach, especially when it comes to leadership and captaincy. However, both players have always recognised each other’s contributions, and despite…
