“Becoming the head coach of India is not challenging…”, why did Virender Sehwag give such a statement…?
India has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles – Virender Sehwag Virender Sehwag (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After the T20 World Cup 2024, Gautam Gambhir replaced Rahul Dravid as the head coach of India in all three formats. Gambhir’s tenure as head coach has been mixed so far. Team India won the T20 series 3-0 in the Sri Lanka tour. At the same time, they had to face a 0-2 defeat in the ODI series. Meanwhile, recently former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on the role of the head coach. Sehwag believes that this responsibility is not as difficult as it may seem from the outside. He also explained the reason why the players will have more burden than Gautam Gambhir. Gambhir is there to help them all- Virender Sehwag Talking about the interview given to Amar Ujala, Virender Sehwag said, I don’t think it is a challenging role because it involves other professionals as well. The team has recently won the T20 World Cup and the players know their roles. Gambhir’s arrival will give clarity to the players. It will be an added advantage. The challenges will be less for Gambhir and more for the players, because now they will feel that after the T20 World Cup they have to win the Champions Trophy or the WTC Final or the World Cup. But of course, Gambhir is there to help all of them. Sehwag never wants to become the head coach of Team India Virender Sehwag further revealed why he would never accept the role of Indian coach. However, he has expressed his desire to become an IPL coach. Let us tell you, Sehwag was the mentor of the franchise from 2016 to 2018 after representing Punjab Kings in 2014 and 2015. Not with the Indian cricket team, but if the IPL gives me a coaching opportunity, I can definitely consider it. If I become the head coach of India, I will have to return to the same routine that I have done for 15 years. To play for the Indian team, you have to stay out for 8-9 months a year. If I become the head coach of India, staying away from my children will be the biggest challenge for me. I will not be able to give time to my children. But yes, if the role of coach or mentor is available in the IPL, I can accept it.

“I have no hope”- Why did Sarfaraz Khan give such a statement before the Bangladesh Test series
Sarfraz will aim to perform well in both tournaments and keep himself ready for the upcoming Test series against India. However, he knows that with the return of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in the middle order, his place in the playing XI is not guaranteed. Sarfaraz Khan gave a big statement regarding Bangladesh Test series “I have no expectations… but if the opportunity comes, I will be ready. I have always been doing this and I see no reason to change it,” Sarfaraz Khan was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. He further added, “Some get a break very early in their career. Some have to wait. In my case, I am lucky that it took time because I got a chance to spend a lot of time in domestic cricket and that experience helped me become a better batsman.” The Mumbai batsman further said, “When I debuted, I was nervous for the first three balls. But after that, I was in control. Whatever I used to do at the domestic level, I was doing the same in Test cricket. I was very clear in my mind. I was not looking at the opposition or the bowler.”

“Pakistan’s Test coach is like Gautam Gambhir” Why did Ricky Ponting give such a statement; Know who is Jason Gillespie?
“Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone.” – Ricky Ponting Jason Gillespie. (Source – Twitter/X) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that his compatriot and former teammate Jason Gillespie will do a good job as Pakistan’s red ball coach (Test coach). Ricky Ponting and Gillespie have played a lot of cricket together for Australia before and they have a very good friendship. Ponting highlighted Gillespie’s impressive record as a coach and compared it to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has also tasted success in his brief coaching career so far. Gambhir recently won the IPL 2024 title in his only season as Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. Here is what Ricky Ponting said about Jason Gillespie while speaking on the ICC review: “Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone. I have no doubt he will face some challenges. But he is a deep thinker and as I said, he is a calm guy who does things his way.” Ponting has no doubt that Gillespie will find a way to get the best out of the Pakistani players. I am not surprised by the changes in Pakistan cricket: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said that he is not surprised by the massive changes in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Pakistan was eliminated even before reaching the Super 8 stage of the tournament due to defeat against India and America in its group. On this Ponting said- “We are all old guys who have played together, we all have a WhatsApp group. Everyone congratulated him (Gillespie) on that and wished him all the best for that role as coach. To be honest, I am not surprised at all by so many changes happening in this Pakistan team. I know it is a different format, but they had a very disappointing T20 World Cup. If you are not willing to make some changes, you are expecting similar results.”
PCB is ready to give a tough challenge to BCCI, wants to compete openly with IPL
The Champions Trophy 2025 might be hosted in the February and March window and that is why the Pakistan Cricket Board will have to shift the PSL by 1 month.

Actually, the Champions Trophy 2025 can be hosted in the February and March window and this is the reason why the Pakistan Cricket Board will have to shift the PSL by 1 month. At the same time, the Indian Premier League 2025 season will be played in India. The Pakistan Cricket Board also has no other option but to shift the PSL by 1 month. This is because after this the Pakistan team has to play many important matches in international cricket. This includes a two-match Test series against the West Indies at home and then the team can be seen playing an ODI series against New Zealand. If the PCB organizes the Pakistan Super League in the month of April, then it will have to take important decisions regarding the availability of their top foreign players as well as sponsorship deals and viewership. A meeting of officials was held in May regarding all these important issues but the final decision is yet to be taken. Not only this, the Pakistani board is also planning to change the retention rule.

SL vs IND Playing XI 1st T20: Who will Suryakumar Yadav give a chance and who will he leave out? Know here
Team India will play T20 series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav on Sri Lanka tour. SL vs IND Match Prediction (Source The first T20 match of the three-match series between Sri Lanka and India will be played tomorrow (27 July) in Pallikal. The Indian team’s preparations for this match against Sri Lanka are complete. Team India is going to make a new beginning under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, everyone has the same question in their mind that what kind of playing eleven will Surya take the field with in the first T20 match of his captaincy. There are many new players in the team. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Suryakumar Yadav to select all the combinations in the first T20 match. Let us understand what will be the possible playing eleven of the Indian team for the first T20 match. Let us know which 11 players will get a place in this match and who will sit out. SL vs IND Playing XI 1st T20: Team India’s playing XI for the first T20 match could be something like this Suryakumar will not have much difficulty in selecting the batsmen in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will definitely open the innings. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant can bat at number three. Captain Suryakumar Yadav himself will take the responsibility of batting at number four. However, Surya may face difficulty in selecting Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh. Rinku Singh is continuously making a splash in T20 cricket. On the other hand, Riyan Parag was able to capitalize on the opportunity he got on the Zimbabwe tour. One favor with Riyan is that he also bowls. On the other hand, both Riyan and Rinku are equal in fielding. On the other hand, if we talk about the middle order, then all-rounder Hardik Pandya is sure to play. On the other hand, Shivam Dubey will definitely be considered. Due to the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, Patel will often be seen as a spin all-rounder. Apart from this, either Washington Sundar or Ravi Bishnoi can be given a chance as a spinner. Talking about fast bowling, out of Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj and Khalil Ahmed, Arshdeep and Siraj are almost certain to play while Khalil may have to wait for his turn. Team India also has the option of two more fast bowlers along with Hardik and Shivam Dubey. India’s probable playing XI for the first T20 match: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh/Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar/Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj
